text: The kit includes the PCB switch itself and all components to make it operational, including a wireless remote control that can be synched with the Tesla HomeLink feature. Switching from rear to front view can be done via the large 17″ factory touch screen. The kit also includes an OBD2 connector that offers a simple way to provide the necessary 12v power and ground connections to the switch.
  Installation of a fully operational Front/Rear Camera Touchscreen Switch requires that buyers also purchase the following separately:
  Tesla rear camera, part #1006773-00-E. The camera can be ordered from any Tesla Service Center for approximately $350.
  A cable set to connect the front and rear cameras to the PCB and touchscreen. The cable set can be purchased from Superbat, a Chinese cable manufacturer, and includes three cables: one long cable for connecting the front camera to the switch and two short cables for connecting the rear camera to the switch and the switch to the touchscreen cable. The kit is $54.50
  The camera switch PCB case is mounted in the space behind the driver’s side dashboard, which is accessible by removing the small triangular flap on the left end of the dash.
  The switch is plug-and play and full installation instructions with photographs are be provided with each kit. Installation will be fairly easy for experienced DIY types and very easy for any aftermarket installation shop.
  The pre-production Front/Rear Camera Touchscreen Switch kit price is $225. This price is based on an initial production run of 100 kits and order for at least 50 kits. If a higher number of orders is placed the price will decrease. For example, for 100 orders the price would fall to about $125.00. But for only 25 orders the price would rise to about $450.00. Orders will be taken until Saturday, April 5, 2014 . The final price will be based on the number of pre-production orders actually placed by that time. Production of the PCBs will begin at that time and shipment of orders will begin around the beginning of May. If the final price is lower than the pre-production cost of $225, refunds will be made before shipment. On the other hand if the final price is higher, an additional payment will be required before shipment.
  This option powers the camera switch on when you sit in the driver’s seat and engage Drive or Reverse. The camera switch powers off when you exit the car. This method preserves 12v battery power when the car is parked. There are two options for this “switched” power method. Both methods are described in more detail in the instructions below.
  Using a PosiTap tap power from the yellow wire with purple stripe in one of the three wire bundles behind the driver’s side kick panel. This method is highly recommended, as the fuse tap solution below requires running a long lead from the #3 fuse box through the fender channel with the camera cable into the driver’s door jamb area.
  The OBD2 connector provided with the camera switch kit provides both a 12v and ground connection. With this method the camera switch is always on and thus uses power from the 12v battery. If your car will be parked for long periods of time (10 days or longer) without access to a charger, do not not use this method.
