Front camera-C7
I have a 2015 LT2 coupe. Front cameras (park assist) were not an option. I checked with my local Chevy dealer, and there is not a GM conversion kit for the 2015. I believe the 2016 corvettes had the first front cameras. Is there an aftermarket kit available? Thanks, Luvcrzn.

I don't know if the is a conversion Kit, but I use mine all the time. It also hooks to the "flight camera" so it records the drive and the head up display on a simm card in the glove box.

Sounds like he is asking about the grill mounted camera used for parking not the PDR camera which records your driving experience. There is no "fix" that I know of. I think the issue is the infotainment doesn't have an available input.

There is a product that will work but it wont be exactly like the factory setup. You could however put a split screen type device and have it display 2 front cameras instead of the single one it supports.

It also would allow you to add other devices to display, like a HDMI device. I have been looking at it for another project since I have a 2016 and it has the front cameras. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to answer them.

NavTool. It works. Only need a single front camera to make it happen.

Awesome write up.
P.S. I just noticed we live in the same area. I'll buy you dinner if you help me do the install. I certainly have the skills....and you have the experience.

What do you mean "only?" That's very impressive, but maybe more work than the average owner is willing to get into?? Don't get me wrong, if it was a quick mod, I'd be all into that. For me, as little as I park head-in, the WIFI version is plenty.

In recent month I have tested it all, at the end of the day only NavTool does it all. There is nothing else out there. With Navtool you get it all plus you can mirror your smartphone for waze. I spent over $2000 dollars playing around with OEM stuff etc. only after I purchased NavTool it all started to work they way I wanted it.
