Front Camera Using Camera Fin
I know A-A-Ron here has done this but anyone use the camera fin and rear view mirror from a 2020+ as their front camera?
I have a 2018 ZLE and was tossing the idea around of using a 2020+ antenna camera and rear view mirror. I would take the camera out of the fin of course and put it into a different housing mount and since its already wired to the rear view mirror, I'd just run the wires and replace my current rear view mirror with it. I know gen5diy has a $800-$1300 front camera kit but not only is that pricey i dont want to have to send them my head unit. Besides the cost, their install seems more complicated than my idea. Obviously I would have to do more research so any thoughts and experiences are definitely welcomed. Thanks in advance.

I am very curious if the 2019+ cars can get the HMI reprogrammed to accept an additional camera. A front camera is something I would have paid big money to have on the car.
Sounds like a good project for White Automotive and Media. Maybe I will send them a message. https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/ BK |

I would check to see if the antenna camera has the fish eye effect or not.

I'd gladly pay money for the option if Gen5DIY had it, but that kit is not for the 2019+ like I mentioned in my post.

He disconnected the Camera in his Rear Spoiler and did put a Camera in the front and connect it to the rear view mirror. If you would like to keep the rear camera in the Shark fin ( if you have it) then you would need a splitter. |

Someone said around here that even with a splitter the image would be mirrored incorrectly, not sure if that's still an issue or if you'd care about the image mirror

If you do not have the Live View Mirror and the camera in the back, you would need these parts: - Live View Mirror, GM Part #: 84566425 - Live View Mirror - Back-Cover, GM Part #: 84348115 - Gen5diy Harness - Klick on me (if you have the auto-dimmed Mirror currently you need part # 220600, if you have the manual dimming mirror then 220605 Klick on me - 6m Fakra RG174 Cable: Klick on me - GM OEM Camera (all others will not work) Camera only instead buying the Shark Fin: Klick on me - Grommet (if needed): Klick on me The installation is very easy... take look at this video: Klick on me I did the install on my Convertible last week (unfortunately I had to buy a 2019 Spoiler with the camera integrated and got it painted). So all the same, only the the camera location is different. |

yes.. if you are able to find salvaged parts, then you only need the Harness from Gen5diy for $99.

Picking up this thread again.
Just saw that the newer Chevy Silverados do have a front cam with FAKRA connectors as the Live Mirror rear cam from the Camaros. As these from the Silverados ar Front cams i guess the Picture would be correct. But I do only not know, if the Camera would work with the mirror. found this one for example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/23488807091...Cclp%3A2047675 If i would live in the US i would give it a try.. but just for buy and try to get it shipped to Europe it would cost me to much. Maye someone willing to test? ;-) |
