Front facing camera

[deputy]

Has anyone installed a front facing camera on a 2016 GMC Sierra?

Using the same cable from the rear camera.

 

I am looking to add an on/off switch to power the front camera.

Can this be done?

You can't just add a front camera to the rear input since the camera only operates in reverse. There are a couple ways to do this: Rostra has a module that allows up to four cameras & HDMI input to be added: http://www.adcmobile.com/multi-camerahdmi-module/ or a brand-new module that adds a front camera only: http://www.rostra.com/manuals/Rostra-250-8425-Install-Manual.pdf

I don't understand the value of a front-facing camera. Can someone help me out?

Maybe you can bluetooth it to your phone and see where you're going while you're texting?

Thanks Walt...it makes perfect sense now!

I love the rear camera and how wide the angle is on it.
If I could source a camera just like it for the front, Id love to add one on.

I would just cut a nice hole in one of the blank OEM dash buttons and mount the included push switch there.

Or could make it a slightly cleaner install by getting an OEM blank from amazon or somewhere that does printing on them and have it listed "Front Camera"

More dollars than sense.

I always wondered how front cameras work. What triggers them? Surely not just putting it in Drive. Is it manually turned on?

I have been interested in the topic as well. Sometimes these trucks have a big front end when parking in front of a tiny car.
