Default C6 front camera

Looking for recommendations for a front (backup) camera to help with parking without scraping. Car came with one but getting no signal to the head unit. So I am sure it is dead or the wiring is fried.
looking for something that is water proof and how to protect the wiring from the engine/radiator heat (car gets driven from Houston to Phoenix a few times a year in the summer).

thanks in advance.

I’m assuming you have an aftermarket head unit, if so, you may have to change something on the settings to display it, also there should be a fuse on the cameras wiring, did you check for that ? What aftermarket head unit are you running ?

kenwood. Fuse is good. I swapped out the inputs for the rear camera and that worked fine as the front. So I need to replace the existing front camera. Just want to know what everyone recommends to use.

Well it just depends on how much you want to spend, I have Pioneer systems and use the Pioneer cameras, Kenwood also makes a camera, but they’re around $100. Others have bought cheaper no name cameras and seem to have been happy with them, I’d just say if you go this route, don’t cheap out to much, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Another option would be to go to your local car audio shops and see what they offer and recommend.
