    Lots of threads... search for the anytime backup camera mod. It has options for a front camera too. There is also an option for a steering wheel controlled system.

    I put in a kit from Anytimebackupcamera.com. Their wiring harness and switch are great, but I wouldn't buy the actual camera from them, because it is complete shit, as many people on here, including myself have found out the hard way. Do some reading on this thread, and go back further if you have to, to find out everything you need to know, including the camera off of Amazon that is FAR superior to the the garbage one that comes in the kit.

    Also read this thread here, to see some pictures of what the wiring harness install is like, and what it entails. It was a pain in the ass, but it didn't have to be, only because the "instructions" from ABC were so vague. Mine still works great (with the aftermarket camera I bought) and I don't regret installing it, just read up on it first.

    I had a camera installed on the front license plate and got a new rear view mirror with a camera built in and installed a switch so anytime I can view the front.

    Arb summit bumper. Morimoto led headlights and new grill. Grill and lights have sequential turn signals.
    I have the anytime backup camera and front camera on my 16.
    Love it and have no issues with the camera that came in the kit.
    I put the switch in the spot for the backup sensor that I never use.
    That puts it in the center of the switch cluster under the climate control.

    Welcome to the forum, this is one of the easiest mods to do if you have any experience with auto wiring. The threads listed here will provide all the guidance you need. My camera is mounted below the Y and O and instead of running wires through the firewall I installed a wireless transmitter and receiver.
