Hooking front blind-spot camera feed into LaneWatch signal

[Andrew Grant]

Hi! Brand new Clarity owner here, bought a 2018 Touring on Jan 1st and am really liking it so far.

I've been wanting to add an aftermarket backup camera to the front of my car, and I'm thinking maybe I could it split off the LaneWatch feed so as to keep it all on the stock infotainment system.

So, I'd hit the turn signal to view the camera on the right side, and the LaneWatch button to toggle between the right side view and my new front camera.

Anyone have thoughts on the feasibility of this? I'm much more comfortable messing with software than hardware, but I'm definitely up to the challenge.

Pinouts, wiring diagrams, links/videos to other's digging into LaneWatch (this is my first-ever Honda), etc. are all greatly appreciated.

Small update:

I bought a cheap Clarity LaneWatch camera module on eBay, but have not been successful in wiring it up without the infotainment system hitting me with the LaneWatch aiming calibration message :/

Maybe I mistakenly did something to trigger it, but as is I can't be calibrating every time I want to switch from the front camera to the turn signal one haha

Work on the software side miiight be needed. I know this infotainment is vulnerable to the HondaHack exploit chain (and I'm familiar with Android modding/custom ROM scenes), but I'm not sure I want to mess too much with my daily driver because a bricked system is $$$$ to fix
