So you have a camera spliced into the quadlok connector as well as an emulator? I would remove all of that and use the RVC input on the CarPlay box. For one, this CarPlay interface is also sort of an emulator in that it taps into and manipulates the canbus line. It’s not really a good idea to have multiple canbus devices spliced in, especially when it’s just not necessary.

Also, the RVC interface on this device has the dynamic steering guidelines. The $3AG emulator route doesn’t have this capability.
