Haven't seen the complete details of how much work it would be. Another alternative is the giant folding aftermarket towing mirrors (this thread) for about the same price. Maybe belt and suspenders and do both!
I've followed that thread off & on.

Yep, early on, it (Cameras) was a Nightmare...The cameras aren't cheap. I use em all the time and would hate to not have the front camera in my tight garage. I also have front alert.

Camerasource is a company that wanna make sure yer happy...I Am-->

@husker (do mentions work in this forum?)

I looked at that thread and honestly my head hurts, is there an updated step by step and what/where to buy the stuff? The OP doesn't have anything, and the entire thread is so huge, it's hard to grasp what I am looking at. I wish someone in Houston had this done so I could go see what they did etc..

Contact CameraSource. They will be more than happy to provide you with step-by-step instructions.

Will do, last thing, does this all sync up or able to be viewed/connected to the Sync3 system like the backup one is?

Well I said I would ask and I did. The thing on his dash was not a camera. Some kind of radar detector. Please spare me the embarrassment. Thanks. Reading the thread I see you found info you were looking for.

It's on the Sync screen but works differently.

Hover yer mouse over the screen & click the 4 cameras to see how it works

I am very confused on what to get though. The setup thing is $550 and doesn't include the cameras from camera source, but there is another camera system from Rostra? Do I need to buy both?

Yep, the turn signals will activate the side cameras or ya can push a button and chose a camera to leave on. Sometimes when I'm in heavy traffic I'll turn on the camera for the lane next to me.

Contact Camerasource for details and prices.

They gave me a link, looks like it will run $900 for the setup.

https://camera-source.com/automotive...8-display.html

I would have been willing to go $600 that k.b. was talking about, but $900 I don't know if it's worth all that, I will have to definitely think about it.
