I was reading about the NavTool NAVRGB3.0+CRVT system for sale at $220. You can use the current nav screen I have in my LS3 2012 grand sport. You can do DVD, cameras front and rear, wireless smart phone mirroring adapter, for apple phones, I think. Do not know what that smart phone mirroring is. Front camera is $75, rear is $75, wireless smart phone mirroring is $100.

I like that I can plug and play with my current screen with this add on.

Anybody have any experience with this product ?

I am looking at the same product as I want front and rear cameras but I also want to keep the factory NAV unit

But its FAR from plug and play , you have to take your navigation unit apart and replace the ribbon cable that goes from the electronics to the NAV screen with the cable that NAVTOOL supplies , the NAVTOOL unit just cuts off the video feed from the Navigation radio when you put the car in reverse , chose to play a DVD or flip a switch/push a button to see the front camera

Not that it cant be done but if you don't have experience doing this kind of work .... there are many posts were guys have either broken the ribbon cable locks or have received error messages after installing

Also the cameras are all over the internet for less than 20 bucks , you don't need any special camera


Good luck and let me know if you install it before I do lol

$470 + pain to redo wiring or:

pick up a pioneer AVH-1300/1330/2300/2330 for about 300 on crutchfield, 80 for a steering connector harness/install kit, 20 ea for two front/back cameras, 30 for a "microbypass" and you have a better sound setup, apple/android hookup, and a lot more for the same price.

Looks relatively stock minus the giant PIONEER logo....

Seems like a great kit, I've had good experiences with Pioneer in the past

it's easy if you take your time and have some experience taking apart electronics

I’ve been wanting to see more about this myself. Like the idea of using oem screen. Keep us informed on progress!

I installed it last summer and I LOVE it! yes it is a little tricky doing the install if your not good with electronics, If you follow the instructions and take your time it will be well worth it. I too wanted to keep the appearance of the factory Nav unit, this is a great way to do that and gain front and rear cameras!

where did you get power/ground for front camera? is your front camera on all the time (when the car is running)?

I was planing to power the rear camera from the backup lights. that way it is off unless in reverse.

Thank!

I powered the front camera from the fuse panel under the passenger side kick panel, yes it is powered when ever the car is running. Navtool has a button option that when you push the button the front camera is display on the screen.

The rear camera I powered from the reverse lights so it only gets power when in reverse.

I like the way your switch panel looks. Do you know if its still available from your Ebay source? If so, can you tell me any specifics? Thanks!
