Yeah. If you have to use the built-in backup camera circuit that is true. I saw one a few weeks ago that bypasses that. It's made by Axxess Interfaces.

There are a couple of companies that have ways of tying in auxiliary cameras into the console display. The one I've read about is made by Axxess Interfaces.
