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.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
