Mito Corp. Back-up Camera for '07
Found Mito's ad in Autoweek. Their website is Welcome to MITO-Auto.
I think there concept is doable in that it uses a portion of the Mito rear view mirror for the image. I don't think it is electronically feasible to try to use the OEM navigation/audio screen; and this seems to offer a solution.
I contacted Mito asking for an installation manual a month ago. They've not responded. Their local dealer is out of business.
My guess is that Mito powers the camera from the positive lead to the back-up light. But Jaguar's back up light is a pulsing light. If the pulse signal is sent from the dashboard, then you'd have a corresponding flashing on/off camera image. But, if the pulse signal is contained in the back-up light itself, then the power to the back up light would be continuous. Anyone know?

Currently you must have navigation selected; that is the drawback. My next project is to look for a way around this limitation.
