    It appears that all we need is the correct connector to add to the Meso cable that comes with the switch kit to keep it plug and play. I’ll remove the switch and get the numbers off the connector tomorrow or Tuesday and let you all know what I find.

    How does the switch plate come off I don’t want to pry and break it if it’s secured somehow?

    I did but I’m talking the left side view switch panel not the ECT panel that one is fairly easy and you can’t reach behind

    Ohhhh that panel. Depending on which switch panel you have, I find it easier to pull that whole panel and push it out from behind. Doesn't take too long, few 10mm and she's out.

    I've also been asking for a plug and play solution for the left side button to turn on front camera and the right button to turn on the rear camera. I know @Puppypunter has been looking into for me. Let me know if you find a solution please.

    You make it "complicated", one button to cycle from rear to front choice. The MESO switches are momentary.

    Yeah I realize it's more complicated the way I want it set up. I know I'll need some relays and some latching switches to make it happen. So how does one button to cycle from rear to front work.

    The button would be a pulse to a/the module that tells it to switch camera input.

    So you would have to be holding the switch in the whole entire time, correct?

    Nope, pulse (momentary). One press to switch.

Now all we need to figure out is which of the four wires from the male side we hook the two wires from Meso switch and the correct female connector I will take the time to thank you for the help now!

    Thank you Caribe! As I have demonstrated I’m no electrical genius, do I leave it hooked to the switch and cut the black wire arrow is pointing to and wire the Meso switch in between?

    No need to cut, I hate 3m t-taps, you could use those to tap the wire. One of the connectors to the head unit uses that same connector that switch goes to. I sure there is a matching one somewhere to be had.
