Default Forward camera to avoid hitting parking curbs

2014 C-7 has no forward camera. It only has a backup camera. I bought this Solar powered backup camera and mounted it on the forward license plate to avoid hitting parking curbs. It only takes two screws. There is No hardwiring for power or display. Since I park for days in a dark garage, I turn camera power on and off for each drive. I drive 4 times a week and have gone for two months without having to remove the camera to recharge it from a wall outlet. I have a small mirror that I put under the camera so I can see the on/off switch and confirm the LED on and off displays.
$129.99 from Type S website


App connects to my iPhone

Requires heads down to select from menus

I place red line at base of parking curb

I avoid hitting the curb

Hmmmm, definitely liking that. I HATE pulling forwards into a parking spot with my "Impossibly Long Hood" C3.
