I'm about to start a project on my C4S Cab that includes replacing my stock head unit with a double-DIN unit from Kenwood. Additionally, I need to take both bumper covers off to find a rattle and repair/replace a radiator. Does anyone have first hand experience with any of the camera types out there? I'm leaning toward getting one of these for the front:


and one of these for the rear:


...but I'm open so suggestions about which style fits best on the bumpers

A prior owner had a Passport 9500ci professionally installed, so I'll probably run the wiring the same way from the bumpers to the center stack that they did for the radar/laser system.

Any advice that anyone wishes they had before they started their camera installation project?

Thanks in advance!!

WOW good prices. Question quality but not a big loss if doesn't work well. I put a Kenwood double din system in mine got the rear camera from CAI Expensive but no need to remove rear bumper. Comes with a perfect size drill bit and the camera snaps perfectly into the hole. If I was aware of these I might of tried the cheaper on first! Get the cheap install kit from METRA

I just did this and it is the best solution I could find and much less expensive than any of the others. Comes with trim for relocating the AC controls.
Wiring takes time but much cheaper than buying pre-wired harnessesi. TEST everything before final install of the unit or you will take everything apart again just to check wires... Ask me how I know

Care to share a post-install pict of the rear? I just bought one, trying to mount it as inconspicuously as possible, looking for ideas. thanks.

The camera is covering the S in the license plate bracket. Virtually invisible.

PERFECT! Well done

Where did you mount the front camera?

Optionman1

if that's directed at me i only installed a back-up camera, nothing front facing other than radar detector/laser diffuser. both front facing and rear facing radar are hidden within the bumpers, though the laser units are visible thru the slots in the front fascia.

Dumb question:
Does anybody make a wireless system that sends video to cell phone?

While ^^^This looks like a great product, it's been discontinued... maybe it wasn't so great, or just didn't sell... bummer!

It's not wireless nor intended as a backup camera, but the new Escort M1 streams to your cell phone in real time.
