Anyone with front and rear cameras or just rear?
Like the title says. Show me your cameras and how you mounted them. I'm thinking I need a front camera more than a back up. LOL! I can never get close enough in the parking spot, afraid i'm gonna hit something. Also how you routed the wires to front and rear? I have a 2011 GS coupe. Thanks.

I definitely think this is possible (and something I will be looking in to when I get my system setup next spring) but not sure what a good way to mount it would be. On a wiring standpoint I do believe the picture could be in reverse since most cameras are made to face backward, so they reverse the picture so it looks "correct" to you watching on the headunit.

I understand your concern, but I've found that even if I leave a wide safety margin from the curb, the car is so short it doesn't stick out into parking lot traffic.
One of the cooler camera installs that I have seen posted on the Forum used a camera from the BMW X5.
Here's a pic of the install in the rear above the license plate.
Sorry I don't have any pics of a front install. The front cams get dirty fast and because they are so exposed, they can be easily damaged.

I'll have to take a pic, but I've got the same camera that **** Jockey posted, mounted just above the exhaust pipes. Not as visible from the back. The wires were run through an existing grommet in the rear, and then up the center console.
