Go with OEM location, much cleaner and less obtrusive than license plate holder. Here is mine:

Put the Pioneer camera on mine to go with my Pioneer system. I've added a front camera also, handy for pulling up to those parking blocks.

Agree, should have said "OEM like" as opposed to add on.

Here is my front camera. Front is adjustable. You can turn it 180 and obviously adjust the angle by bending the tab. I am using 3m tape to hold in place. Both cameras have the grids on the screen. Once warm enough I will set the warning zones via my head unit.

My rear camera sure looks sweet since it’s a clean oem look but there is no adjustment. This means its a tad to low but still covers what it needs to cover and works lol.

not to nitpick. But. Like others have said ,the c6 never had a backup camera. So it’s not OEM.
The c7 only started having back up cameras.
So saying it’s OEM is the wrong terminology.

OEM refers to something made specifically for the original product, while the aftermarket refers to equipment made by another company that a consumer may use as a replacement.

I know what oem stands for lol. Camera that I have for backup is mounted like a oem. This means there are no screws, tape or anything like that. Plus it’s molded into the rear.

If you knew what oem meant you wouldn’t be calling it OEM. It’s not original equipment to a c6 Just sayin. Lol the c6 never had a back up camera.
