I have a friend that has a C5 and put the back up camera on it. Post on the C5 section and I am sure he will answer.

I have a back up camera hooked up to my Pioneer Z2. I am not too sure about the stock nav unit though. The Z2 is just incredible when it comes to features. It far surpasses any of the expectations that I had for it. If it were gonna cost me 600 to upgrade the stock unit, then I would pull it and opt for a D3 or Z2.

[QUOTE=Coachman;1565882772]Installed this BOYO VTL 420 camera along with the Kenwood DNX 8120. Don't know if it can be done using the stock Nav head unit. The little squigglies in the photo are from my camera and NOT from the BOYO. The backup picture is perfectly clear.

That's really a nice setup. It appears that under normal circumstances, you can barely see the camera lens unless you're actually looking for it. The backup cameras in my LS430 and Denali really have me spoiled. I can't see anything when backing up in my vert with the top up.

Do a search in C5 General, there is a bunch of owners of C5's that have them....

But will the C5 version work on a C6.

The C5 search should show different locations on the car and what equipment others have used...

LPP as a parking sensor, while it can work, isn't the best solution as a parking aid. Economically to be able to achieve a good resolution of feedback, would be incredibly expensive - you could install a more robust and accurate microwave or ultrasound system. :)

The only things that you will learn on this forum are:

1. That somebody will say that they have a backup camera installed that works with their factory navigation head unit but have no clue how it works; and/or

2. Others will go on and on about how they have a backup camera that works with an aftermarket head unit that was designed for it it the first place, why not tear yours out and get a different brand; and/or

3. Still others will babble endlessly about how they have seen a cool backup camera in some other make and model of car that has nothing to do with anything; and/or

4. A few geniuses who tore out their power window motors and air conditioners will regurgetate some tripe about why a Corvette shouldn't have a backup camera.

Backup Camera
 

I Had it installed about 3 years now on my kenwood excelon after market nav works awesome .I put the car in reverse and it shows up on the screen.:thumbs: :cool: :flag:

Ding,ding,ding! We have a winner!:lol:

Sure wish GM would release a backup cam addon.

I checked with several companies that do nothing but install backup cameras and each told me that it is not possible to hook up to the factory nav.

The simple solution is as was posted earlier in this thread. Buy yourself an aftermarket NAV unit that supports backup camera feed, like the Kenwood unit and license plate frame camera.

This is exactly what I plan to do with my 2009. I purposely did not buy the NAV unit so I could save the $1800 and spend it on a Kenwood unit and additional goodies (speakers, camera, Ipod for storage).

Nice, I want to do that with my Alpine head unit.

It will be great too, to have a camera installed at the front end (under the spoiler) area to save spoiler from getting all trashed up.

Gotta love that orange peel.

Unfortunatly you cant hook up a camera to the factory Nav which is the sh*ts:( but you can modify the unit and have a plug spliced in that will allow for a camera :thumbs: BUT it will void your warrenty so on that note :nono: I wouldn't do it.

I'm trying to find a a place to put a mini monitor so I can have a ft and rear camera,:thumbs: The place has to be just right so it wont look all jerry-rigged, so until then, it's on hold.:toetap:

I saw this http://www.mitocorp.com/flash/gentex...lay-mirror.htm
but you would have to replace your mirror and loose onstar. Not a bad thing though, unless you use it.

Camera
 

Boyo VTL425 slim line camera over the top of my license plate frame and controlled with a Lockpick 360. Both installed yesterday. I need to tweak bright and other settings now with the remote control. It is AMAZING! And YES it IS displayed on the NAV screen.

3 Years Old!!!!! Time to lock mods......
