I was told that the reversing camera switch sold on ebay and also sold by Carbon Car Systems wont actually work on the DDX918WS , pays to check compatibility before you buy one.
Or just buy a two way rocker switch , connect the purple rear view camera SW wire from the stereo unit to the center pin , connect the Reverse wire (red / white under the steering wheel) to one side of the switch and a 12 volt positive supply to the other side.
Easy way to get rear view camera while driving.
Edit : if your reversing camera is powered from the reversing light or reversing beeper then you will also need to run a wire back from the above switch so it provides 12 volts for the camera when you want to view it while driving , which might require the switch to be 2 pole 2 way .
You don’t want your reversing lights to come on when you have rear view activated while driving . Cops might hit you with those big sticks.
