I'd be interested to know what you were thinking, given that the button on the RNS-D cycles through the available inputs I thought that might make it very difficult.
One thing that could potentially be automated would be to switch between a front camera (mounted beside the bonnet release catch?) and a rear one, possibly using control signals and/or the switch for the parking sensors to activate them via relays.
The light in the parking sensor switch would be a simple source of a control signal for overall/front power on and reversing lights for deciding which to display.
