Reverse camera to display screen ?

Post by Goldwing2020 »



This may seem silly to some, but I suffer from neck problems, so my question is. Does anybody know if the display screen has any ports at the back to take a feed up for a reverse camera, same as in most vehicles.
Thanks in advance

I haven't heard of any yet, but I would think it is not possible due to the resolution and color variation possible on the display.

Does anyone know if you can play movies thru a USB stick ? That would probably answer the same question

Since the system will only recognize MP3 and not even MP4 I am 99.99% sure it will not play any video.

There was a short thread started on this: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=53563&p=311753#p311753

If you were to use a standalone motorcycle specific dash cam with it's own display screen, you could make the display show the rear view full time. Beware, the control head/display may not be weatherproof.

Some vehicle GPS makers offer back-up camera capable models and would probably be the easiest solution.
