Front Bumper camera - anyone installed one yet?
Since my IS is not my full time daily driver yet, I haven't gotten the hang of gauging the distance of my front bumper yet. This is especially critical since I lowered my car. Figured I would install a camera in the front bumper (using the backup-type cameras like this )
Was wondering if anyone has attempted this and if so, any tips or suggestions.
I also need to research where the AV feed is located on a 2014 350 FSport w/Nav and ML.
Thanks in advance!

Pretty in-depth and complicated install, but front camera install non-the-less.

Page 173 for AV input location thru USB port.

Confirmed that Beatsonic has something in the works for the AV without bypass.
Looks like I will have to go with a bypass system and AV adapter in the meantime. Beatsonic said the new cable will connect into a different port, so theoretically, I can use the front view camera and connect to my phone simultaneously via different adapters. Was looking at the VAISTECH system and Beatsonic. Eric (Beatsonic) has been really great at answering questions and working with me on getting the right wires for my set up (plus they have the AVC38 AV harness) so I decided to go with them. Will try to take pictures and a DIY of my install if all goes well. I'll probably go with a RCA 2-way switch for now to toggle between phone/dvd and front view camera once I get my harnesses in.

If you also have the AVC38 adapater installed along with the DVD bypass, then theoretically you have the capability of the Front camera via FCA, and connection to the phone via AVC38 + DVD bypass.
