Adding front cam. Is it possible?

Offroadman00 · April 13, 2021

Hello everyone. I am interested in doing the rear view cam mirror mod that is listed here and about to purchase all the parts. I also want to know if its possible to add a front facing camera too or will that need something to be reflashed by dealer or WAMS?

2019 Sierra 1500 AT4 without 270/360 cam. Only have rearview cam

Don't order one. I have one with harness.

Question is, is it possible to do it with what i have stock with the truck or will it need to be reprogrammed?

and when you say dont purchase one because you have one, are you sending it to me

Here is the approach I used. Not exactly what you are thinking of but it works well for me.

I did something similar with a wireless camera from amazon. It was part of a camera setup I installed for towing my travel trailer. After I sold my trailer, I also gave up my dependence on cameras. Pickup trucks have always been a challenge to park but with practice (and perhaps a few bumps ) you can get pretty precise with the placement of your front bumper. I'm not adding this as a criticism to camera technology as my next vehicle will have 360 view! When you watch the coming and going of trucks in a crowded parking lot you'll see some drivers park their trucks like it was a smart car. Others, need two stalls and several attempts to dock their trucks. I like to challenge myself to park quickly and precisely using only my windows and mirrors.

Here’s an aftermarket solution.

If you wanted oem camera system it would be hard to add on a truck with no VCM but might be possible if you had ios or iot radio. I had an RST with a VCM because I had bedview package. A truck with only rearview cam does not have a VCM. I was able to add oem front cam by swapping VCM with a 360 one.

Which one did you use?

I bought the Haloview wireless system with 7" monitor/recorder and camera for behind my trailer. I added their licence plate mount camera for my front view.
