New stereo with front and rear cameras installed

Safety Car
Can someone please link me to the cameras that work with this and summarize if there are any tricky spots in the install (or if it is pretty much plug & play)?
This unit is on sale near me and while this upgrade wasn't on my radar (so I'm out of touch with the details), I would definitely enjoy it.
TIA

Rear- powered from tapping into the reverse light wires so it comes on when put into reverse
Front- I powered the red line running with the yellow video cable tapped into the center cigarette lighter and then I wired the black ground to a bolt below and in front of the Alternator.

I wired the Pyle cameras like this

I came up the drivers side, unscrewed the triangular piece by the door next to the wipers and lifted off. Routed the wires underneath that, opened the door and up high on the frame you will see the rubber gasket has a seem where the 2 pieces of gasket meet, I pulled out the lower part a little then fed the wires through, then pushed the gasket back in, then under the dash and up into the center where the stereo is. I used an electrical fishing wire from inside where the stereo is down to the pedals and taped the wires on and pulled up into the center. If you want I can take pics

Thanks. I think I can manage from your description. I have an older Kenwood in my 08 and I'm about to install a new one (DNX574S). I already have a rear camera with the current unit, but would like to add the front one for parking. The best thing for me is that the wiring harness is the same from the old unit to the new one (according to Crutchfield), so other than adding the front camera, it will be plug and play (I have no steering wheel controls either). Besides all the great features of the new unit, I'll finally have bluetooth (the bluetooth add-on module for my old unit is no longer available, could not even find a used one on eBay). Enjoy your new setup, looks great!

Great install on your Pioneer! I installed an AVIC-8200NEX in my 2013 Grand Sport about two years ago. It was a real adventure tearing the car apart to get things in. Everything went well except I was never really satisfied with how I had the rear camera mounted and I ultimately removed it because I thought it looked ugly...
I really like how you have your rear camera mounted and wondered what model your Pyle camera is and where you purchased it? Also, could you share any details about how you mounted it since that was my greatest problem. Thanks so much and enjoy!

Just FYI on the cameras I saw where someone installed a C7 factory backup camera. You remove the key slot in the back and it fits in there perfectly. Then you move the key slot to one of the holes next to it. Looks factory on the C6

A couple more questions if you don't mind.
1) Why did you choose to run the front camera wire to the driver's side vs. the passenger side?
2) Where is your bluetooth microphone mounted?
Thanks!

I myself ran mine up the passenger side then through a harness penetration behind the battery. I ran the wire for my microphone under the dash then behind the pillar on the drivers side and mounted the mic by the Onstar mic.

That was just the way I found to go in easily, I am sure you can go both sides, the camera is in the middle of the car so it's the same distance to the stereo either way you go in.
I did as madsonp did put the Mic in the same place.
