I am not real familiar with POC (power over coaxial). Just trying to figure the wiring out now. Shouldn't be that hard once i have the wiring figured out. or i may just disconnect the rear camera cable from the mirror and connect the front camera directly to the mirror. Don't use the rear view mirror camera anyway.
A few things....
The camera connected to your rear view mirror is a “specific” camera. So you cant just connect any camera. So far, the cameras that can be used are either ones pulled from 2019-2020 spoilers, sharkfin antenna cameras on 2020s, or 2019+ Silverado cameras pulled from high mount stop lights. The poc cable uses connectors called “fakra”. I recently found a fakra video switch. I’ve been thinking of doing what you are attempting. I was able to get a camera that was pulled from a 2019 spoiler. Besides that all youd need is more wire to feed the new camera.
