Anybody Add Front Camera?

[Deleted User 38384]

I really hated Sync3 so I tossed it out and replaced it with a Gen6 Linkswell unit. My only sacrifice was the overhead image of my parking sensors when I approached an object. I still have audible sensors but I can't see which sensor is closest to the obstacle.

*weird thing is,,, that image DOES appear when I'm in reverse*

I just bought the Wolfbox so the front cam will show me I what I'm about to smash into. I chose the dash mount to fit in the 'taco warming tray' because I don't want to cover the factory mirror. Also, I don't want to sacrifice power supply to my Cobra SC220C Dash Cam. I will be having a bit of a "tech overload" in my interior but,,, I should have every imaginable option at my fingertips.

As far as front camera mounting is concerned,,, I'm tossing around 3 ideas.

1) Stick it to the bottom of the front license plate bracket. OR,,,

2) Purchase an extra Rear License Plate Mounting Bracket from Wolfbox to use on the front.

3) Mount it to my Grill.

Oooo that bracket is a much simpler idea than I had to put it on the lower grill.. I was thinking ok I gotta remove the upper grill and reach in to tighten the nut..etc, etc….
With how TRuCK is right now it’s a bit more of a pain to gauge distance ..
Also kinda like having the front camera to show off…. I wonder if I can wire it all up so my aux switch 6 can have it pop up on the oem screen like the reverse camera does when put in reverse….
modification triage is what I’ll be doing for the next couple hours.
Thanks again guys.

It's DIY...not the cleanest solution but it gets the job done...the bumper camera mount is 3D printed...

Of course it’s a custom mount ..
3D printed sheeesh… my son asked me for one and I know nothing about them.. I’m more of a hand tools and hit it with a hammer when it makes me frustrated type..
if I can’t have it wired in with the aux6 switch maybe I’ll look into those fancy rearview mirrors that have the screen in them.. I’m a side view mirror person so the rear view is just there to look at to make sure I still look pretty..which well yeah not pretty but I won’t get into that.

I can't believe the 3D printer technology advancement in the last 3 years since I bought my first printer...I just upgrade my setup to a massive Bambu Lab H2D that runs circles around my old one...still kept the old one for old time sake...
