I wondered the same thing when I heard him say that about the front camera. Wonder if that footage wasn’t put together and that clip was perhaps taken after the 2015 was announced! I was number 9 in line for a C7 at Hendrick in Cary NC and Rick picked up his car only about a month before I got mine. In the film there were other C7’s in the shot where he mentions the front camera. There were no other C7’s in Cary when I picked up mine in early October; they were receiving only customer cars. The Hendrick guys in Cary were great to deal with.

Out of curiosity....
Do we have the ability to add a front camera? I'd do that if it were something that we could add.

I expect it was originally supposed to be with the 2014 model, either as option or included , because the camera mount is already in the C7 and the software/hardware took longer than expected !
Cost maybe another factor

From the info and videos we have seen the PDR is going to record video and overlay data on a dedicated SD card that has a slot in glove box. Probably would be a massive distraction to have it on the head unit, and wiring another input to the HU would likely be an issue as well.

I don't believe the PDR will display on the head unit like the rear, back up camera does when you are in reverse.

I'm confident that the OEM PDR will be able to retrofitted into the current C7!

Since the infotainment system can have apps added to it, the SD card slots and camera mounting point exists, a retrofit should be possible.
