Working on tweaking my newly finished install which includes a backup/rearview camera via USB and CarPlay/Autobox via CPC200. The rear camera is set with a GPIO trigger which works great. When CarPlay is running, the display switches from CarPlay to the rear camera when the car is in reverse...and back to CarPlay when out of reverse.
Unfortunately, when Autobox is set to automatically connect wirelessly, that initial connection between Autobox and iPhone takes over the display from the rear camera. The issue is that initial connection is often when you've just started the car, are already in reverse and want to be using the rear camera (e.g. to get out of a parking space.)
Here's the order of events:
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? What can be done to maintain the rear camera display when Autobox is connecting wirelessly--ideally having that connection happen in the background so that you're into CarPlay once you're out of reverse.

Here's the order of events:
- Car is started and OAP boots.
- OAP initial menu screen is displayed.
- Switch to reverse and rear camera is displayed
- While still in reverse with rear camera displayed, Autobox starts connecting wirelessly to iPhone for CarPlay and takes over the screen--the screen goes black for a few moments and then into CarPlay. Only way back to the rear camera is out of reverse then into reverse again...or menuing out of CarPlay and into OAP interface to manually select the rear camera.
