Well, you will prbably not like the answer, but you will need to get ahold of the eclipse backeye cam 4 pin connector. The 2454 should have an open connector designed specifically for their camera. You would need to a) get that Eclipse plug--not likely without the camera or b) solder onto the 4 pins on the back of the radio--I can give you a pinout of the plug. Did you install a video switcher to change from cam to cam? You will need to select the cam view (info menu then camera I believe) to get the video you want while listening to another source. By selecting VTR, you have locked into whatever is fed to that input; you can't select 2 sources at once. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Excuse my ignorance (and/or stupid questions) but when I get the plug and/or solder the ends in, how does that help? Again, my apologies, I'm not much of a stereo guy.

Please explain what the plug in the back will allow me to do.

Yes, I used a switcher to flip from cam to cam. I ordered a real nice switcher that was like 80 bucks from one of the companies that makes interfaces. It didn't come in so we used a 12 dollar video switcher box until it comes in.

One last question. While waiting to drive through the freakin 2 hour wait to watch the "festival of lights", I shut the key off and when I went to adjust the volume on the steering wheel, it called OnStar...wtf?

It did it several times over the evening but only when the truck is off and you can use the power that stays on for 10 or so minutes. When the truck is running, no problems.

We used the OS2 bose interface and the SWI or ISW (forgot the abbreviation) steering wheel interface. (also the chime one too)

Thanks for your time,

Mark
