Default Add Front Camera?

Is there any way to add a front camera to my viewscreen? I think I really need one.

Here are two possible options:

1. NAVTOOL - Tends to be a bit pricey, but well made and worth every penny. The camera video appears on your Infotainment screen. Hard-wired to your vehicle. It also has the function of mirroring your smartphone to the same screen. This is what I have on my ‘15.

2. WiFi camera/transmitter - Can’t recall the maker. Low-cost option. Relies on WiFi (sometimes glitches). Requires an add-on screen such as your smartphone. Had this one. Didn’t care for it.

Are you happy with Navtool? Did you lose any functionality at all? I heard you lose steering controls. Did you install the wireless harness?

I am happy with NAVTOOL. I wasn’t aware of a wireless option, so no, I didn’t use that. I’ll admit the installation was tricky, but the outcome is worth it. When I DO find myself in a situation where I can’t back into a parking spot, I simple press/hold the button on the infotainment center and watch that curb. I also love mirroring Waze or similar Nav screens too.
