Front/Rear Cameras So I have a question regarding cameras. I would like to know if it's possible to have a front and rear facing camera both wired to the same display in my '02 Z28? For example: I'm parking, and I need to park my vehicle close to another vehicle in front. While I'm generally pretty great at estimating that distance, I feel that if I had the option of having a video feed (something I could switch to kind of like the rear view camera) but that wouldnt affect my rear view camera being activated in reverse. So is it possible, and if it is, any recommendations on how to accomplish it and with what products? Thanks!

You need a radio with screen that can accept at least 2 video inputs (or a switchbox) and also have at last two cameras mounted where you want them.
I have a double-din radio and a rear camera.

I know some of the android units that are on ebay (joying) accept two video inputs. then you would just need to backup camera's.
This is honlestly something I thought of as well. My driveway is pretty long and I tend to make a semi circle and back in at a n angle to make pulling out easier. Trouble is there is a retianing wall that I nose up too pulling in. When I bought my head unit it came with a back up camera which is a bit too chunky to be mounted on the GTO but would fit the front behind the lower grill just fine I think so I had considered playing around with it.

I recently completed a dual camera install in my 03 Blazer
lighted pushbutton switch that has NO and NC contacts,a relay I run the video inputs thru.
Ive got both mine in the rear(one off center to take care of the blind spot) only aftermarket parts I used are the cameras(gms suck)and switch. I added a mirror from later model GM that has the onstar and video display which is the ****. you can pick up a mirror for about $60 on fleabay.I have one powered off the reverse light and the other thru the switch so I can turn it on while driving.I also replaced the backup lamps with some killer LEDs so its like daylight when in reverse and the camera loves it.
