What model year did the front camera become available? Is it standard on all Corvettes after this model year?

Also, my wife's 2016 Buick Cascada has a front parking sensor that comes on under about 7 or so mph. It is a graphic that comes up on the DIC showing bars that light up and a series of beeps. When the last bar is lit and the beeps become a solid sound, you must stop or you will hit something. No need to call it up, it just comes on anytime speed is low and you are about to bump something. Much easier than what is on the Corvette.

2016 added front cameras. They are not standard. I think you need a 2LT or 3LT (I know a 3LT for sure, too lazy to check about the 2LT).

The Corvette does not have parking sensors, which are more "passive" versus cameras which require you to look. Sensors are not included because there isn't really a place to put them (in the front), and they kept melting (in the rear).

The app tray is nice, when you get it setup to your liking.

I have the Camera, DVR, GPS, SMS and Phone always on top.

I didn't mean to offend you. I just couldn't find it. You might want to read the posting more closely. And I will try to read the manual more closely.
The thing is this, as somebody who often provides assistance to others especially with computer/tech issues we like to see that the questioner has done their due diligence to attempt to figure out the problem on their own. As such you should try a few times and note down exactly what you did, what you expected to happen and how it failed to meet your expectation. Answers like "I tried that and it didn't work" are annoying because as the helper the first thing that pops into my mind is "Really? How did it fail?". I've been known to ask the question "What was your first indication that it failed?". That gets right to the heart of the issue doesn't it?

And for gawd sake, do not make up terminology! In the tech fields nomenclature arises to precisely describe terms and processes that are often new. Choosing to call it something else and ignoring the documented terms for the various things does nothing but muddy the water. If they call it the "pick list" in the documentation don't go describing it as "that scrolling thing" or some other name you invented. Use the names they've used. It goes a long way to being on the same page.

Additionally we like to see you made an effort to attempt to research it. I've had quite a few times when I take the questioner's question verbatim and paste it into Google with their exactly solution on the first page. That's incredibly infuriating because it shows you didn't even to the slightest bit off work to try to work it out on your own. BTW using the proper nomenclature in the search does wonders too!

All of this falls under the category of teaching a man to fish so they can be self sufficient. Even if you do your due diligence if you describe what you did we can provide pointers of how to do research better next time. It's a learning process.

And do not give out that lame excuse "Well I'm old". Unless your dead, can't type or read (all of which would be pretty much negated by the fact that you read and typed in your question!) you still can learn. I know, I've had relatives in their 80's who could learn and figure out things and I've also had relatives in their 20's who are essentially technologically illiterate. If you don't make at least the minimum of effort how can you blame us for thinking you're just lazy or want somebody else to do your work?
