I'll also get around to building your Auto-top Arduino eventually, especially now that I have a glass rear window top,
I also have a double din touch screen (Cheap Chinese version) but what I need is
the reversing wire to go to ground to enable the backup camera.

Is any of the auto-top interfacing/logic able to provide a reverse signal?

If not I may need a microswitch or something on the gear shift linkages
or a relay on a backup taillight to trigger it.

Any ideas.
