Brand new old guy here - the site is asking for a profile emoji but I couldn't find one for "stupid" but I'll keep looking.. As stated I'm an older guy that, probably like many of you, likes to tinker. My background is retired Navy aviation electrician with an additional 25+ years in auto electric and with all that, I still don't "know it all".. Before discovering this forum I've spent countless hours on YouTube and other resources trying to find a solution to what I initially thought to be a fairly simple task - here it is:
I own a late model Toyota 4runner that is factory equipped with a rather small display screen for the Nav and backup camera. So I purchased a rather expensive Samsung Galaxy 8" tablet with the idea of not only having a larger Nav screen (which works fine) but also having a larger screen to display the backup camera plus and additional camera up front. The problem is the tablet will not recognize the backup camera using an OTG (On The Go) adapter that allows you to connect the RCA camera feed to the tablet's USB-C connection. I got far enough to debug the tablet's USB but even doing that it will not see the USB device. If I was a little younger I would have easily passed the frustration point of no return but now I just keep plugging away hoping that someone a whole lot smarter than me can figure this thing out.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond should you have any helpful suggestions.
