TE-TSI Turn-Signal Video Interface

This works really well in my skoolie conversion paired with a cheap Joying head unit. I picked up some cheap cameras and my head unit reverse input now also gives me left and right camera feeds! Worth the extra money so I didn't have to worry about converting the pulse input of the blinkers into a constant signal.

Works well for my Excursion 2009< mirrors. Great if you are towing.

I wanted to add side-view cameras as well as a rear-view/reverse camera to my aftermarket stereo head unit and was struggling finding an easy way to do that. This unit met all my requirements and isn't too difficult to install. I was able to tie the power and ground wires directly to the stereo, and the "DVD Video" output wire directly to the Alpine reverse signal input wire that automatically triggers the head unit to display whatever camera image is being sent from the iBeam unit. The iBeam has separate trigger wires that tie into the turn signal wiring circuit, as well as to the reverse light. When either of these circuits are active (left/right turn or transmission in reverse), the iBeam automatically powers that camera on and sends the video signal to the head unit for display, using the DVD Video wire to trigger the head unit. The thing that was important to me is that even though the turn signals are a flashing/pulsing signal, the iBeam is smart enough to keep the video from blinking at the same rate as the turn signal flasher.About my only complaint is that after displaying the reverse camera, when you put the transmission in drive it will automatically display the front camera input from the iBeam unit for a few seconds. If you don't have a front camera, you get a black screen for that time. I haven't found a way to disable that, and it only happens for the reverse camera. The side-view cameras switch back to the normal head unit display pretty quickly after they are turned off.This is the best setup for a multi-camera install in a vehicle. The lead wires to tap into the turn signals and reverse light are very long and should work for even long vehicles like pickups and possibly even RVs. Its pretty small and easily sits behind my Alpine iLX-650W head unit (which is very shallow compared to most units). There is a little bit of a spaghetti mess of wires, but the unit has removable plugs to help with adjustments. I highly recommend this over other items on the market, and it works better than what a local stereo shop used in a different vehicle when I had a similar system installed.

I installed this and had several issues. The picture flickers and is sometimes warped for that reason it gets 1 star, sometimes the picture stabilizes, but not always, Yet if I connect the camera directly to my monitor it works fine. Second thing that may be just with my installation is that I tried to just hook all the cameras to be on full time by connecting positive power to all 4 leads and it does not function that way, whatever you have plugged into the reverse camera port on the block will always be the default camera. So then I tried to connect a cam to the right and a cam to the left and only the right would come on. So there is no way to get all cameras to be on at all times while flipping through them with the switch. I'm sure that is not how the system was meant to be but no way I could figure out to rig it up that way. I instead decided to get a 4 way DC power splitter to power all the cameras and a simple 4 way AV selector to flip through the camera feed manually the same way you would switch from your VCR, DVD, Playstation etc on your Living room TV. Hope this review helps others.

The leads were to short for truck installation.I did a work around by mounting the controller in the tail light housing.

Works very well for outputting multiple cameras to a single screen. The cameras stay active when a signal is to it or pulsing like a turn signal.

Works Awesome absolutely no problems works as advertise easy install instructions going to buy 2 more for my other vehicles a

With this video switch, I was able to connect my rearview and lane watch cameras to my Alpine HU. Worked great in my 2017 Pilot. This is a well made and designed product, though one of the camera input wires was poorly crimped and failed, but I only needed to connect 2 cameras, so I used one of the others that were supplied. One interesting thing I noticed, and this isn't necessarily a negative, but when the unit is powered on, it seems to go through a self test and brings up the cameras on the HU. So, after you start the engine, you're going to see video for 10 seconds or so. I don't think this is a big deal and I'll get used to it.
