Default Adding a Front Camera

I have a Kenwood DNX691HD and a Pyle rear parking camera. It works great so I'd like to add a front to avoid hitting curbs. What is the easiest way to install so that I could just hit a switch when pulling into a spot, possibly even if the radio is off, which the Kenwood will do when backing up. Also, where have people mounted their front cameras on C5's? BTW, my car is a lowered C5 Z, in case anyone needs to know.

Pyle plcm38frv-forward facing camera
Use the audio video input on the radio

You will have to manually switch it on but this will work

Just a hunch but I suspect a front camera will catch too much crap from the road the be of much use, unless you clean it constantly. Even the backup cameras get blurry fast.

The front of my car doesn't get too dirty, I try to avoid driving it in bad weather. Has anybody added a front camera on a C5, I'd like to get some ideas of what others have done, if any.
