2014 cameras
what is the best way to get a front camera and also the all around looking from the top down camera system?
I have a DYI front camera, but it requires using the iphone to access the camera and takes too much time..
thanks

My camera is front looking and works on the NAV screen as does the stock system. It can be turned on manually and stay on OR it will come om when you put it in drive after backing up and the it will go off around 9 MPH.
I hooked mine up to Navtool. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...tallation.html

Recommended by who? I have it. It works flawlessly. So, I would say at least I do. If you have some other source that doesn't use a phone or extra screen or need something in the cubby to function or function as the stock camera on the later years did, then go for it. I know some other vendors don't like it but it is their competition and nooooo vendor would bad mouth a product that they don't sell?
I can only tell you what I have and it worked since 2016. I've helped 2 other guys install the product. Theirs is still working as advertised.

As I remember, when the navtool first became available for the 2014 corvette, there was a delivery problem... many missed promises .. but I didn't follow through to know if these issues were solved... I don't think there was ever a reliability problem,..

Navtool can be an option. Wouldn’t mind having it in my car.
