I have been trying to search for this but haven't had much luck... I just did the install of my anytime backup cam auxiliary video input dongle and am having some trouble. From what I understand, I do not need to attach both the 'Auxiliary Video Input Dongle' AND the regular 'View My Backup Camera At Any Time' dongle?
So far what I did was attach the aux dongle into the rear of the headunit and then attached the factory harness into the other end of the dongle. Then I have the 'Source Selector' correctly attached with the male/female ends. From the 'Source Selector' I attached the RED wire to one of my Switchpros wires. This should give me the ability to at least turn on the rear camera override, correct? Then I attached a front camera and attached the red wire coming from that to another of the Switchpros wires. From my understanding should allow me to use that second Switchpros button for the front camera override? Also related, I have tried this both with the black wire grounded and also without it grounded and neither time worked. All the electrical wiring is fairly new to me and has thrown me for a loop.
I have been unable to get both the override or front camera to work through my switchpros and am hoping I have connected things wrong and that this is a rather simple fix. Is there something blatantly wrong with what I'm doing?

Hello...
There are two harnesses:
1. Rear override harness - this harness enables you to view video on the screen at anytime. Regardless if that video is the stock rear camera, a front camera, or a dvd player,etc. You need this to view the video feed, unless you only want to view the feeds while in reverse. Think of this as a way to change the input on your TV, that is what this harness is doing.
2. The aux video harness and relay which are used for the front camera addition. The rear override harness must be activated first, then the relay must be energized to switch between rear and front cameras.
You need to apply 12v to the SHORTER wire on the rear override harness, the longer wire will not be used with switch pro applications and apply 12v to the red wire from the relay. The black wire on the relay should be grounded.
Hope this helps. If you connect it any other way you could blow a fuse in the truck and/or fry the resistor in the override harness which will more than likely make your dash light up like a Christmas tree when activated.
