Default Front camera

Anyone install a front camera on a C3 to protect the nose while parking? Location of camera. License plate frame possibly. Does anyone have experience with rearview mirror attachments such as Wolfbox. Do those cameras give a good enough view of the nose to determine if there is ample room to park without hitting/scraping cars/parking meters in front of you.

Look into something called CURB ALERT if you don’t want the hassle of putting in a monitor of some type. I had one on my c6 and it worked great. It gives you a beep when you get too close and you really don’t need a picture of what you are about to hit. Just a warning.

I did one "while I was at it" Display is built into the mirror, switch under the dash to turn in on. Anticipating adding a front air-dam at some point eventually



I back into most spots anyway but since I was in there anyway...

My new radio had provision for front and rear cameras, so I installed both.
