I just purchased a 2020 Chevy Silverado RST and I want to add a front camera. How do I know if it can be added to my current system. 

Hi Randall

I searched this and then  asked this question. Short posts and trailer hitches sticking out are impossible to see.  OEM Cam is too complicated and expensive. Finally. I got one off Amazon at a decent price. Wolfbox G900 for under @200 US.

I installed it under the license plate holder. Drilled a hole to fit it. Barely noticeable. This Display clips over the rearview mirror and is very clear.  Cool thing about this is you can have a split screen with ground view and forward as it's a dash cam too. It also toggles up and down with a swipe of your finger. Easy to install. Just one wire through firewall to cam, from rear view mirror. Then power cable from Acc plug to display.  I was quoted $600 US to have it professionally installed. 

I can see the paint markings on the ground now, and have a dash cam recording in case we get cut off and ditch.

Not yet, can post tomorrow maybe. Check out Cam on Amazon. I glued mine into place under front bumper, below license  plate. It is clear, touch screen, swipe to change views. It's meant to be a rear view Cam...but we have that already. I like hoe it pans up and down with a swipe of  your finger

Here are some pics, video won’t load 

it can zoom down to see something this close, or pan up with a swipe of your finger 

the drill is very low! 
pretty easy to install. Parts fit under the Onstar plastic housing at rear view mirror

That badass , do you have a link

 

On Amazon.

I got the Wolfbox 900

you don't need to wire into reverse light . The cam is always on. I have a kill switch to cut all power if left on one week at airport.

I think I have an idea for this.. 

 

There is a mod for the illuminated mirror in which the camera/spoiler is swapped for those who have standard mirrors. Couldnt you just remove the camera and mount it to the front of the truck?

 

That way you can push the button on the rear view mirror and see the front of your truck in the rear view? 

 

Anyone have any ideas on this?

So you lose the original rear view unless you power off?

yes, just touch base switch to blacken display and it's a reg rear view mirror. It still records. Just touch screen anywhere to see cams.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
