Anyone setup front camera on their CarPlay unit?

Recently got a CarPlay only headunit off AliExpress. Got the backup camera and everything setup but having a hard time setting up the front camera.

Anyone successfully done it? I can't seem to get a 12v reading so there's no signal.

Is there a setting within the menu to turn the front camera on? I have joeyauto so I have different menus. If you can't get DVDPOW to read 12v with the settings then I would use an add-a-fuse to power it off of the cigarette lighter 12V (fuse #8 for my E92).

Yea that's what I ended up doing. It seems they didn't power the 12v so I just tapped it from the fuse box
