No... back up camera shows up automatically whether you're using iDrive or the CarPlay smartbox. Camera disappears after moving forward for a few seconds and goes back to whichever screen you had been on before backing up.

You do not have to splice into the reverse light wire. The carplay box does that for you (which is awesome).
Thanks. I'm keen to install a front camera also. But not sure how to do it as the smart box only has one video in?

I thought about splitting the two camera outputs to the smart box but then that only work if the smart box has an option to turn on video feed when not in reverse?

Have you thought about a front camera?

Lastly, where did you route the camera cable to get to the rear number plate?
