C8 front camera
I have a 2LT Z51 Coupe, how do I turn on the front camera so I can see the curb I'm pulling up to ? or the work bench in my garage, so I don't run into it.
Thank you
Thank you

I think the forward facing camera is sufficient. The bird's eye view is confusing and doesn't seem to ad much value.

This camera is one of the best Daily Driver devices on this car. It makes parking worry free which you need with a DD where you can't see the end of the nose.
I don't know how many times it's kept me from running into a concrete block I couldn't see.

I will say compared to the overhead views in my other cars, the Corvette’s is a really short view. I don’t see curbs until I’m like a foot from them.

Anyone adapt this option in a car without the option ?
I know this is a very old thread but have been searching and found nothing.
I have a 2024 1LZ Z06 with PDR and for some reason when I ordered the car I thought I would have a factory curb alert but bettter … one with a camera not a beep 😉 Obviously I was wrong.
I back into parking spots most of the time, don’t want a string with a tennis ball hanging from my garage ceiling … anyone have any ideas on this ?

I think he means the fisheye view. It’s so distorted, I’m not sure what it’s supposed to help with. The top down view tells you everything you need to know.
