Default backwards video

S oI installed a keyhole camera on the front of my car( just for fun, if you can y not?) but...turns out that the keyhole camera is setup to reverse the horizontal signal coming out and going to the HU. This means that when I turn left, the video goes right So the question is does anyone know of something I can put in-line with the camera to switch it back to normal, and by the way no I can't do it on the HU, only for the backup camera, and that's already taken. Now I know some people are gonna say y do you need a camera on the front of your car, and is it legal to drive with it on. NO to both, but who cares...I mean I would never do anything illegal

on your HU you should be able to switch the polarity of the camera input thus reversing the signal.

no, i would say...why wouldn't you just use the view in front of your windshield rather than a 6" screen?

but seriously...you might want to get a small piece of clear bra and cut a piece for your camera. that thing is now a rock magnet and you have more chance of cracking the lens when in front of the car rather than the back.

I have already checked that and it doesn't have that function for the video 1 or 2 line-in.

And Jetlounge I knew someone would say it, but acatually I'd like to get it to where I can record the video so that I can capture some of our runs around the PHX area, or a canyon run or two in Cali...stuff like that. And I already broke the glass outer lense while trying to clean it, so I cut out a circle from an old CD case with a dremel and it works great(thicker, plastic, and just as clear on the monitor)
