    I just put in my anytime rear camera mod and now I want to add a front camera. I know most people have that one camera off Amazon (I forget the brand) but I was wondering if there are any compatible cameras that have night vision or even FLIR.

    Does anyone have any cool ideas for a front camera?

    Most of the ones on Amazon claim night vision. I have never used my Natika at night so can not say how well it works.

    Just replaced my head unit and connected this camera. I still have some work to do to get it mounted, so it's currently not in use, but I'll try to report back with night usage if people remind me. I should have it at least temporarily mounted in a couple of days.

    I have the Natika camera, works great, night time is super clear. I have the car solutions unit, super easy plug and play install. I mounted the camera in the center of the garnish on my OEM Pro grill. Looks factory installed and uses the steering controls to operate. Super easy, rear camera functions perfectly normal, the putting then truck in drive the front cam comes on. I like it better because I didn't have to add a dash switch.
