I did some searches on the forum and asside from a 300$ Lockpick device, I didn't see anything that talked about any way to enable the back-up camera while in drive.  If there is an existing post, can someone point me to it?  If not, has anyone figured out a reasonable way to enable the back-up camera while moving forward?  Would be really handy to have that camera functional when I have the back of the traverse full of other stuff and can't see out the rear view mirror anyway...

The problem arises from the fact that the rear camera is controlled by the Body Control Module. So it's not a simple task to just flip it on. Hacking into the wires will most likely cause the BCM to have issues if not blow.

I would suggest a wifi/bluetooth hitch cam as it would be cheaper
