Want a front camera

[elleykaye5]

Has anyone done a front camera? Use to have a bronco and miss that. Afraid to drive to far up on a parking stop.

A front facing camera for parking lot stops would be great. Full 360 cameras would be desirable. Does Honda/Acura offer 360 cameras on any model?

I have one, it's a Cobra dashcam with built in front cam plus two video outs. I ran one to the rear and one to the front bumper. You have to buy the waterproof exterior camera in addition to the main unit, for a total of 3 cameras. Only downside is the front image is flipped and I haven't found a way to fix it yet. But it serves the purpose, which is to not ram the front into a curb. I'll attach some pictures when I get a chance.

Sorry, it is. Just looked. Is it just plug and play or needs to professionally installed?

I sometimes wonder how I ever managed for 40+ years with just my eyes and spatial awareness when driving and parking. There is enough on the car already: parking sensors, front and rear; blind spot monitoring; rear cross-traffic alert; rear camera. I mean, come on, I have been driving 50 years and have NEVER hit the front or damaged any car I've owned on anything ever.

Well, 50 years here and I've hit and not hit plenty of things. I embrace tech, im not perfect and I'll take help where I can get it.

Amd pics as promised. That orange bag was about a foot in front of the bumper.

Certain tech is great, but I didn't need it for 45+ years, and most of it gets on my nerves: speed bongs I can't turn off for going 1mph over the limit and the steering wheel being tugged when I go down narrow lanes, of which there are loads here in England. I'm a bit old school when it comes to things like that, though I must admit that in the narrow dark street I live in, rear and front parking sensors do come in handy in the dark.

Yes, agreed that all that is annoying. Thankfully it can all be turned off. Not sure about Euro-spec cars.

Would like something like this if it could be more hidden in the bumper and also hook into the standard screen. I do miss having a 360 view.

No, it can't well most of it and none permanently, more's the pity.
