Where are you displaying the camera feed if you don't have nav?

If it's not on a HU with a setting (i.e. OEM nav or aftermarket DIN), then you will probably have to wire up a switch. The power will need to come from accessory power that is always on. The switch then activates the camera display instead of waiting for the reverse wire to activate it.

I'm guessing he's referring to the rearview mirror display. My '12 has a back-up camera that displays in the rearview mirror when you put it in reverse.

Same on my 11 Roadster. I bet the camera is wired to the reverse lights circuit.

This is what I was assuming. It should be very easy. Add a switch in line with the camera power that allows you to turn on/off the power independently of the reverse signal. You can leave the reverse signal connected so that it still works automatically when you put the car in reverse. This just adds the manual option for camera power when you're not in reverse.
