nav-tv front camera/vim bypass

[Reptar]

Just finished installing in my 2013. Everything appears to work great. I can confirm that the blue guide lines are not available when you force the front camera, but they do return when you meet all the original requirements for it to enable.

Is that a 2013 only thing or an update to navtv because they don't work on my 12

Noah,

I'm planning on installing this Saturday. I believe we need 2 wires (for the front cam) that didn't come with the kit (or at least they are not long enough to reach). What length and gauge/type do you recomend?

18ga wire is fine. this is a data signal so it is not a high current wire. no need for a thick set of wires.

i might add, i used 18ga speaker wire for mine. because the speaker wire is molded together as a pair, it made it easier to run. just remember which wire is which.

I'm not sure. I've only tried it on my 13 with the nav I just got from Noah and it works fine.

Im in the middle of my install and everything is great so far. Things were not this easy when i did this in my late teens early twenties but that may be because of my experience and patience or the vast amount of proper tools i have acquired through the years.

One issue; as i ran the cables through the firewall i discovered a cut line under the hood. See the picture below you can even see the black electrical tape beyond that appears to be detached. Anyone else have this or know what it is? Is it supposed to be cut?
