Rear dashcam 1.2.0 for Gen5W head units (Android 4.4), as a NEMESIS package: the recorder service, the Dashcam playback app and the Digital Rearview Mirror app in one install.

Changes in this version:

Rear Dashcam 1.2.0: Digital Rearview Mirror, no more camera flash between apps

  • New: Digital Rearview Mirror. Hold the steering-wheel Mode button to show the live rear camera full screen, mirrored like a real rear-view mirror. Hold Mode again, tap the screen or press Back to close it. A short press still changes media sources as before. Holding Mode no longer opens the car's Mode Settings screen. The mirror works without a USB drive too, and gives way to the car's own reverse camera.
  • Fixed: the camera picture flashed for a moment when switching between apps. It now stays hidden unless the car's camera view is showing.
  • Recordings are back to 720x480, the backup camera's own resolution. Larger sizes were only stretched copies of the same picture, and used more CPU for no extra detail.
  • The camera debug screen is gone.
  • The Dashcam app shows its version number under the title, and has a button to buy me a coffee.

As always, reboot the head unit after installing or updating, so the camera picture stays hidden under Android Auto and CarPlay.

Install gen5-codec-patch (media.codecs 2.1+) first. It's required for on-device video playback. Needs NEMESIS 1.16 or newer. Only for the IONIQ 5 SE and SEL (no 360° view); the installer refuses other cars.

Install over ADB with nemesis install --update dashcam-1.2.0.zip, or by USB: extract dashcam-1.2.0-usb.zip onto the root of a FAT32/exFAT drive and plug it in. Reboot the head unit after installing or updating to activate the camera overlay fix. Recordings and the recording on/off setting carry over when you update. Check downloads against SHA256SUMS. DashcamPlayer.apk and DigitalRearviewMirror.apk are the apps on their own; the package already contains them, and the mirror needs the package's recorder.

If the reverse camera ever fails to come up, stop and report it, and uninstall the package until it's fixed. Details in the README.
