Upgraded Stereo/Video in F350 issues
I installed a new stereo in my 99 F350. Choose this Panasonic AVH-X2700BS unit.
It has a large screen with a DVD player and inputs for a backup camera. It's all wired in now except for 2 wires one for the emergency brake and one for the backup wire for the camera.
Before I started checking into this I kind of wanted to be able to play videos for the little ones while driving down the road but I also realize the dangers of distracting the driver and the law.
I wondered if there is like a swing out visor to block the drivers view of the screen while videos are being played.
The other issue is the backup camera, it would be nice occasionally to be able flip on the backup camera while traveling since it is difficult to see behind you with a large camper on the truck. It would function like a rear view mirror so quick glance would be all you would want to do keeping your eyes on the road.
Would like to get your inputs/thoughts/suggestions on these issues.
For those who have already dealt with these issues, what did you do?
Thanks
