Live View Camera - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My newest mod was adding that nifty new Live View Camera to the car. My main reason for adding it is because I think it will be easier to see what’s behind me on track, rather than having to look through and see my rollbar, tint, and wicker bill. It is SUPER clear. I was very surprised with the quality of it all. Very impressed. Couple things to note, if you want to piece the parts together, the mirror is from a 2020 Silverado/Sierra that we need. NOT a Camaro. I originally sourced one from a 2020 Camaro and Gen5DIY told me that was not right. As for install, it was kind of a pain. I have my interior torn apart quite a bit in the back from my roll bar and rear seat delete, and I don’t know if that made it worse, but it was a pain back there. The antenna does not sit completely flush, as Gen5 points out on their website, but it’s not terrible. I thought about trying to get it to be more flush, but was under a time crunch at first. So I was trying to have it painted and everything. Now that I have time, I might try to source a non camera one and do some modding to make it fit better. Other than that, it seems to be a great upgrade and can’t wait to use it on track.

Cool and nice work, Had all the parts to do this to mine for a couple years now but still havent taken the time to do it...seems I have lost a bit of interest in the ole Z

Yeah it’s pretty cool. Oh and the other thing is that the cover to hide the wires doesn’t work since it’s not made to fit the video cable. So I am going to try to get one from the Silverado to see if that fits better.
