I didnt make a tutorial because the method I used is not very convenient. It requires the dismanteling and sodering of the remote. I have 3 Lilliput screens so I had extra remotes. I tried to do the hack directly to the screen and it resulted in the screen not working currectly due to me not knowing how to read and understand curcuit boards. So what I did is I first melted the soder holding the IR bulb to the remote. I then added a red wire and a black wire and attached the bulb to the end (basically extended it) I then opened the screen and placed the bulb right next to the IR reciever on the screen. I did this because I was worried that if someone were to block the IR, the screen would not switch to reverse. I also added a connector so that I can disconnect the IR wire to move the screen. I then sodered a micro relay to the button on the remote that is required to switch between PC/AV1. I ran a line from the 12v+ of the reverse light to the micro relay. So basically what it does is when I go into reverse the micro relay clicks, which simulates a button press, which causes the screen to go to AV1 where the cam is connected. When I leave reverse the micro relay turns off and clicks the other end simulating another button press which brings it back to PC mode. Also as a note, you have to disable AV2, otherwise the screen will not change to the disired spot.
