Front parking camera -- questions on how to wire it up - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

I have a Eonon GA9153A (MTCE_HT_V2.84_1) in my 2014 VW Beetle. I am already using a rearview backup camera that automatically activates when I go into reverse gear (the camera is wired up to the reverse light for activation).
I would now like to add a forward facing camera for parking assist (probably mounted at the front license plate). My Eonon unit appears to have a second video input (no. 19) right next to the rearview camera input. Is that the correct one to use? I also went into factory settings to tell it to switch to the forward camera for 10 seconds right after disengaging the reverse gear. But how would I wire up the forward camera, meaning how would I supply the forward camera only with power when I just disengaged the reverse gear (meaning not all the time)?
There's a device that came with the radio that is called a "regulator relay" that I suspect may have something to do with this, but there are zero instructions explaining what its true function is.
Below are the schematics of all inputs on the device.
Thanks!

[REQ]Mapping Volume-Buttons on Apple-Headset?

Hey guys,
just asked me if it is possible to use the apple 3gs Headset completely?
I mean this one with 3 buttons:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you plug it in, you can only use the middle-button to play / stop the current song. There is no use of the + / - Buttons.
I managed to enable the skip-function by installing playpause 4.0a from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3548894&postcount=21
Now I can skip a song by holding the middle-button.
It would be nice if the other both buttons could be used too, for adjusting the volume for example, for what they were originally made for
Any suggestions or interested programmers know how to realize that?
I could imagine I am not the only one who would be happy to use that feature.
Not even some people interested in having this feature? Are you all using this crapin' htc-headset?
i recently bought a pair of klipsch s4i headphones with the remote and mic and i can't really use any of the functions of the buttons or the mic. So I'm in the same boat as you. I was wondering whether it was a software thing or a hardware thing. bc if it were a software thing, couldn't you just write something that would translate the apple commands on the buttons into commands that android would recognize? idk if that could be done but it would be cool.

Power switch part number?

I was wondering if anyone knows the surface mount part number for the power button on the TF101. My kids not only broke the plastic but also knocked off the surface mount switch.
I've downloaded volume on/off apps but sometimes you need a real power button when flashing and what not.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Have a look through these parts, you might find it here
http://www.asusparts.eu/en/partfinder/Asus/Pad/Eee pad/TF101
I saw that on another thread but they replace the entire unit i think. I'm sure there has to be a digikey equivalent or something for just the switch right?
I mean I can short the two pins and it powers on/off so i'm sure the the module is fine. I just need the switch.
That site is just a parts site, they just send you out whatever you ask for, I just linked to it because they list the part number on the items
It's just a micro switch really, you could probably find one on ebay, it's only job is to press to connect and release to disconnect, any micro switch that you can find to fit should work
Few here

Program android device to display car information?

Hi all,
I'm considering / planning an android project to upgrade my car stereo system/screen, and I need your opinion regarding an aspect.
So as for today, my car has an old school stereo and an old school screen that displays basic information, and I'm wondering if I can remove these two modules, and replace them with a single android device that will provide same functionality.
The following picture shows the desired transformation:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
as you see in the upper picture, lower part of the dash has the stereo, and above it is the screen,
I'm sure that an android device can fully replace the original stereo and provide same functionality.
As for the car's original screen, this is the tricky part for me. This screen shows information such as the configured AC temperature, AC fan speed, fuel consumption etc. and I'm wondering if there is anyway to develop some android application to read all of this data and display them on the new android device?
anybody done something similar?
Thanks.

Question I got a new Head unit, I need a lot of help, please

Hi, guys I'm new at this, so bear with me, I got a new android 10 unit from AliExpress, https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLwdGdk, the t7 with 4gb 64gb storage. I got here and checked and it's fine, same specs. My car is a Peugeot 508 2013.
Everything is working according to the specs, but the canbus setting are very different from what I've seen in other units alike this one. The seller has been trying to help me, but is hard due the language barrier and the time difference, 12 hours. I have the code for the factory settings. 3368, dunno if that is helpful.
First I can't seem to find how to put the front camera after reverse with the lines, I tried one option and swaps, but stays on it doesn't automatically turns off. Also there is no option to change the resolution of the camera in the radio.
I saw another video and that unit got messages from the car into the unit.
That's a canbus problem, if it is can I buy another one? Or can it be upgraded without bricking it. Is a launcher issue?, I'm lost.
Also is it safe to install any other launcher via the playstore?
Any tips are really appreciate it.
Thanks
This is the canbus I have installed...
