Rear camera install
- Thread starter Vetroy
- Start date
Hi and welcome to the forum. I suspect it could be done but would be far from straight forward. Unlikely the required wiring would be in place for one thing. Do you see a recess in the panel at the top of the engine lid? A quick search with Perplexity found this .....
Yes, but it is usually a retrofit rather than a simple factory-style add-on on a 2023 1LT Corvette. Forum owners report that the 2LT/3LT rear camera setup can be added, but it may require the correct rear hatch/body panel, wiring, programming, and potentially expensive parts and labor .
What’s involved
The factory-style rear camera on higher trims is tied to the rear hatch panel and related wiring, so the 1LT may not already have everything needed behind the trim . One owner noted that the panel housing the camera would need to be replaced and painted, and that compatibility of the existing wiring is uncertain .
Practical reality
This is possible in principle, but it is not usually cost-effective compared with buying a car already equipped with the system. A forum reply estimated the total could get expensive once parts, labor, and time are added . In practice, many owners instead choose an aftermarket digital rear-view mirror or camera system, which is often simpler to install .
Perhaps an option here if you could figure out how to place the camera.
