Default Install Curb Camera on a 1LZ?

I've got a 2017 C7Z with Z07 package but the trim is 1LZ, so no front curb cameras.

Are there any options for installing the factory curb cameras (even one would be fine) on my car and making it work like factory, or close to?

I use Navtool in my 2018 Z06 and it works great for front camera plus phone mirroring. Last, I have another Navtool that hasn't been used if you like this idea.

Which navtool should I use if I only care about adding a front camera?

All overkill. Can buy a "completely wireless" camera with associated monitor in which the camera is rechargeable through USB and doesn't require any wired connections at all. The battery lasts several months and when it needs it I connect it to a USB/12V adapter using the frunk socket. I've got the monitor on the driver's sun visor and it gets its power from the socket under the glove box. You can see the outside camera if you look but it's really unobtrusive. 5 minutes install and under $100. In the spirit of my $59995 LT1 I think.

If you've ever used Amazon, you'd know that turns up a sea of cheap Chinese garbage. The person I'm replying to specifically csaid he has one that's rechargeable, works well and has a battery that lasts for months, which is why I asked for the specific item.
