Default Front view camera

Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to hook up a front view camera on a 2015 Stingray. I can buy the 2016 grill with the cameras attached, but have not heard how to hook up to the Video data recorder. Hopefully someone has figured it out.

That would be because you can't hook up to a PDR unless your car comes with it.

The car doesn't record from the front bumper cameras anyway if you have the pdr. There's Navtool or there was this thread about an inexpensive wireless camera for the front:

If you want pdr-like recordings you should be looking for a dash cam of sorts. If you don't want to beach the front end of your car, you should look at navtool or the other thread.

If I understand you correctly, you are asking if you purchase a 2016 Z06 grill w/camera's, is there a way to wire camera's to work on a 2015 Stingray? The answer is still no. The 2016 infotainment head is different and the systems are integrated, which makes reverse engineering not possible.

I understand wanting this feature I refused to buy a model without it.
