I'm used to having a b/up cam but have none in the 'vette.
Anyone fit a cam and is it wireless? (have navi).

Colin. When i bought my car the fellow had installed a Pioneer Z110BT Nav system with rear camera. If you look close you'll see it just to the right of the LP.
I'm going to try to find another place this winter to hide it a little better.
As soon as you select reverse the camera comes alive and the view has unbelievable clarity. you can also select split screen while going forward and it's rear view and nav at the same time. Really nice to see who's riding your bumper.
On this one, a cable routed through the car to the nav, so I don't know if wireless is available.

PS The mike on the dash is for a Blue Tooth phone in the nav

Mine has a Kenwood Navi w/ backup cam installed by the previous owner. Cam is really visible from the rear but works awesome. Still getting use to all the features as the manual is missing.
Hey Terry.....I've checked on a few websites for a cam compatible with an OEM navi to no avail.
The best I can do is a separate screen or a cover screen on the rear view. neither of which would be very good.
Thanks for your info.

Excellent links, Rob -- thanks.

I'm guessing the curb-alert negated the urchase of a back-up cam, corect Colin? What was the problems with looking for a cam? I'd love a back-up Cam, and have NAV as well. Very hard to see where the rear-end is in this car (C6), and prefer to back-in to stalls for safety sake.
Still in the market for one -- just haven't pursued yet. Yes rear visibility is lacking.......would really love to get something this year.
One thing I haven't done yet is to talk to Manny. He has some experience with this stuff and would be my choice as installer.

Hi Colin, I have looked into the Coastaltech before but put off buying it..Supposed to be pretty good...A few interface connections have to be made on our factory Nav`s and its good to go.....
Cool, Peter -- I'm sure Manny will be familiar with that --- I'll have to talk to him about it.
Cheers,
Colin
I've fired off a pm to Manny for info. I'll post back with what he says.
Also want a set of LG coilovers which are on sale right now, so we'll see what happens.

Yeah looked thru that a little while ago -- seems fairly straightforward and doable but Manny would be better at it than me I'm sure.
I'll see what he says. If it's not gonna cost an arm and leg I'll go for it.
Yeah been doing a few mods -- trying to keep interested and up on the car so I don't get temped into something newer.
It's working: The more I spend on it the less I want to get rid of it.
It's the lesser (cheaper) of 2 evils

How about a nice ZR1?....lol
That or a 427 -- I've considered it a few times. What's holding me back (thankfully) is the lack of an automatic.
What seems more feasible is a blower addition to my LS3 ..
If I had an extra 20 large hanging around I'd definitely be tempted....
C.
Yeah a nice blower will do the trick.....I had a Paxton putting out 8.5 pounds of boost on my 88 Iroc back in the day and it was like night and day when hammering the accelerator ....Awesome power
....Awesome power
