Default New 2016 Front Camera System
Look what I found on the new camera system. See these links: http://www.faqs.org/patents/imgfull/20150077560_01.

http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20150077560. and finally:

http://www.faqs.org/patents/imgfull/20150077560_03. does this car drawing look familiar.

GM patents of course.

Enjoy. I did.

Very interesting! So does anyone know if this comes standard with the 2016 2LT and 3LT? Or is it extra cost?

Should definitely be fitted to all Z06s/Z07s

I wonder if you have to press a button to view it in the screen, or if it automatically shows at low speeds

Standard on 2LT/2LZ and 3LT/3LZ. Pricing released on Monday, remains to be seen if these packages will increase in price.

Activates automatically at speeds of 7mph or less in 1st gear.

Nice feature to have. This will save many front spoilers from getting damaged.

Pricing is coming this Monday or was released already last Monday (6/15)?

I have a TPW date for my '16 but no final pricing yet.

Thanks!

Nice feature, but something other brands have offered, and done more completely, for quite a while.

Nice find! Side view cameras are the next logical addition to the Vette. A "surround view" option will be available sooner rather than later IMO.

Also from the same inventors: http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20150042799 - GM's version of a driver assist, collision warning system that incorporates four cameras.

Can the front camera be added to a 2015 z51 and price??? When I ask about adding it, I mean can it be hooked up into the existing hardware already in the car? I know there will need to be some new items and possibly software to install.
