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?

Does it record or just real time?

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.

 

 

 

this is what you see looking in from the front.

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.

Who has the best price on these front cameras as of now?

[edz71]

I have been following this too, the best so far is from this site www.shopchevyparts.com $399.20 down from $499.00

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.
