Installed Plug and Play Rear Camera Override Dongle

Thanking [MENTION=129513]bjohnston115[/MENTION] again for this mod! My install went off without any issues. Rear camera still works as normal.
Depress the AOB Rear camera switch when in any gear, camera comes on.
AOB Switch dims properly just as the other switches do.


EDIT: On the AOB Switch wiring pictured, I connected the red to red on the ABC wire & the AOB green to orange ABC wire. Polarity correct!
