NavaTool is what you seek.

There is a big write up on it in the above section.

You sound like a perfect candidate for a self driving car.

I don't know what you are trying to say but I'm sure that came up when they had mirrors in cars. Some macho man probably thought he'd do it better without them. Same with seat belts and rear cameras.

That said, with all the accidents and stupidity from the totally human controlled cars, I certainly believe self driving cars can't be worse besides the effect on the human ego that he can be replaced with better.

I don't know why you keep referring to ego, macho, perfect, etc. I do think that backup cameras are a necessity. I don't think a front camera is a necessity, although as I already stated it is a "nice to have".

I don't know what self driving cars have to do with front cameras on cars can easily skin the nose on concrete parking blocks but here we are.

If I am driving YOUR car, you are right. It's nice to have. When it's my car and I have to pay for the repairs should I make a mistake on any of my lower slung cars, I'm going with "necessary". Go to the mechanic shops and look at the cars in the air and see how many lower slung cars have nose damage. My other cars with 360 cameras are even nicer since they help me get my car centered without having to get out and look.

As others have said I have a 1lt Stingray no front cameras but I have A129 Pro Duo from Viofo. I recently took over my Stingray from my father that installed them when new. I like them. Not sure if they still make them or not.

OK, can we get over the peanut gallery-esq comments about whether we need a front camera or not? I'd still like to hear from anyone who has installed an aftermarket camera.

I installed an aftermarket video interface from NavTool and added an inexpensive camera from Amazon. It works great for parking assist.

Late to the party. In the forum, a gentleman spoke of a specific brand a wireless wi-fi front camera install, but the brand/model is no longer around. If anyone has lately performed a similar install, could you all advise the camera that was used? Just looking for a small camera to install in the front grill. In advance, thanks much!!!
