There is a thread in this forum that has a discussion about this and additional reverse cameras etc; It has links to equipment etc. I want to add a front camera as well.

This is it in motion...obviously a phone recording isn't gonna do justice but you get the idea!! I use this everyday in tight parking spots or whatever I want or need to see up front. Sent from m

Lerbud, when you installed your camera, did you have any problems running the cables and was it a plug and play or did it require a visit to the dealer for programming?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

All plug and play.  Hardest part was getting the cable through the firewall grommet.  You dont even have to run a power or ground as it uses the factory stuff.

Thanks Lerbud, that is $60-70 less than best I had found.

When it's all installed, just hold the back button on the infotainment system for 3 seconds and it switches to the front view and it will stay on the front camera until you hit the back button again!! What's cool is, you can drive with it on all the time

Is there any way to do this with the backup camera?

Yeah I installed one in my Trax, very handy come insurance time.  Practically invisible and records 1080P.

Installed it in front of rear view mirror where both wipers sweep and keeps the windshield clean.

Someone asked earlier about having a backup camera that can be controlled while in motion. I have the Rostra interface installed on my truck and put a 3rd brake light camera on as an option. This system also lets you mirror your phone, and can add a 360* view with cameras if you’d like. Easy to install, just takes time to make sure wires get tucked cleanly behind the dash. I’ve been running it for a month now with no issues.

I just purchased from shopchecyparts.com and received the 5% new customer discount.  With the cheapest shipping, at $19, and with the discount it came to $399.61. 

 

From what I have read, it seems like a pretty easy install.  I am hoping with this kit I can upgrade to additional cameras in the future.

Update, I received the Echomaster Intellahaul front camera system.  Extremely easy install.  Just watch the videos on Youtube by Echomaster.  The hardest part was going through the firewall.  There is a rubber grommet, where the main wiring harness goes through, but there seems to be multiple layers to it and under the dash you can't seem to get your hand through all the mechanicals to even get to the grommet.  In about an hour or so it was complete.  The instructions state to put the camera right under the bowtie but I chose to go lower after what Jmiller11331 recommended.  All in all I am very happy with the result.

      Joke Thread

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
