A dash camera sure. I've never heard of integrating a front camera into the navigation screen for aftermarket. I'm sure there's someone who has tried it.

Why do you need the integration with the nav? Wouldn't a dash cam with storage to capture the video work?

Can't we just tap the reverse cam and add a switch from front to rear?

^^^ Good call. You'd have to figure out a way to tell the factory navi to display the video feed when you aren't in "reverse" in order to view the front cam.
