I have NAV TV front camera installed on my RS. Figure about $1500 installed. My first NAV camera crapped out after a couple of days. My installer along with NAV TV fully replaced the unit. Quality product that they stand by. I believe they are located in Florida
I have the front and rear Nav-TV cameras on my 2016. I did my own installation. I paid around $1,600 or $1,700 for parts including modification of the console switch panel by 12V Nick. He changed 2 of the dummy buttons into working switches to turn the front and rear cameras on and off manually. The rear camera still comes on automatically when you put the car in reverse. The front camera is a big help when parking. I installed it behind the grill because the lip on the bumper is too small.
This is a picture of the screen on the pcm. You can kind of use the grill to tell how far you are from the curb.
I think Nick has an easier front camera mounting solution if you are installing a front license plate.
I have front and rear on my 2015. 0-60 is right about the total price, but we do use the same installer and vendor. You can install them yourself, but it will require a good deal of time and you are pulling a lot of interior and exterior pieces off the car and then reinstalling them to do the job properly, so you need to be comfortable with that work. Mine have functioned perfectly for three years so far and I find them very worthwhile.
Not a bad pic at all. Yea I'd prob do the front camera also. I am going to run a front lp also. Tx rules not mine. The dummy spot would be good for toggle switch. Thanks guys for the input
I added front & rear cameras w/Nav-TV to a 2015 GT3. My installer is in the Bay Area and pricing was ~$1800 installed. He trimmed the front camera surround to make it fit in front of the grill. Double clicking the front defroster activates the front camera, while the rear comes on automatically with Reverse engaged. I would have preferred PTGFAR's setup with dedicated buttons, but still very happy with the installation and would recommended him.
I opted to have the Nav-TV backup guide/scale disabled since it doesn't reflect the actual path and other posts show the guidelines being narrower than the car which could have led to embarrassment. Now that I've lived with the camera, I think I would have actually preferred having the static guidelines. Seems like I have a lot of cases where it would be nice to more easily align backing up.
Good review also. Ok. I'm in houstin but it seems like all of you guys paid around the same for parts/install. I have a guy who said he just installed one on a 911. I'll ask him Monday for pricing in parts/labor. Appreciate you guys. Btw I'm loving driving his car more and more. Gas mileage isnt bad at all if you dont get into it too often. And cant say enough about the u turn ability. Today my wife was driving and I told her to stomp on it from 65. She had the biggest grin but it scared the **** out of her. Lol

you can renable the guidance lines in your PCM under the “CAR” settings I believe. At least I can for my NavTV installation.
There is also CRUX unit and Maxspeed Motorsport unit that are way less. I have been quoted $350 for labor and these units are around $300-$400. So about $650 to $800.
