So I initially installed this camera from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VVV4T3V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it worked great, but I didn't like the way it stuck out of the grill. I used the following pins yellow 21, black 22 to hook it into my 8.4 radio and used JScan to enable the cargo camera. After a couple months I ordered the Z Automotive Front Camera Kit and added the included RCA input to the following pins Yellow into pin 24 Black into 25 since I already had the previous RCA installed on the required pins. I used JScan to enable it but this time using the DTV Front Camera setting to enable it. So now I have two front camera's one in the grill and one under the bumper but what ever camera I have hooked to pins 24 and 25 only work when the Jeep is not moving. After I start driving I get an error of Video not available in motion and if I am already driving the Camera Icon is grayed out. So is there away to enable Video in motion on AUX-1 video input? My intension is to move the Amazon camera under the Jeep so I can see if I am going to clear an obstacle, I just haven't found a good mounting point and made a suitable bracket. Here are some picture's for attention.

Here is what the Amazon camera looked like installed in the grill. It didn't look that bad it just stuck out more than I liked.
