    Wanting to upgrade my front view camera to an emblem embedded one. The posts I’m finding are older so I’m wondering what people think of the ones they have? What would you have done differently?

    brand and model please and where you got it would be nice.

    stock 2016 OR Grill

    thanks

    I have one that bolts to the badge. It is non-wide angle and looks a bit like Gonzo's beak. There is another version in the link below that snaps into the side opening and is wide angle.

    With the derp'ed grille, it is hardly noticeable.

    Yes, the inewcow camera is still available but these posts are from 2017 and there were a lot of reports of them (The inewcow) only working for a short period of time. Just wanting to know what cameras people currently have, that fit into the emblem like the inewcow and Have worked and lasted as one would like. Have they fixed the inewcow issues?

    My current camera came with my any time backup camera and it works fine I’d just like it mounted in the emblem.

    thanks

    It is working just fine. I had to R&R it for the derp'ing and it lives here in the Seattle area with lots of rain exposure. We have almost no corrosion issues though.

    I still primarily use it for the same reason, parking in my tight garage, judging a mark on the wall.
