Factory front camera useful?

[OnlyKetchup]

I've got my order in, and did not add the Front Camera option. I go back and forth on changing my order to include it, since adding it later seems to be a PITA.

It's not all that expensive to add to the order, but how useful is it really?

Yep it is very useful once you get a bypass unit from the car stereo company..

i did not order a camera when i ordered my truck because at the time there was no bypass available. now there is one and it is very helpful. i ended up using an aftermarket camera instead, but you are better off ordering oem unless you are familiar with vehicle wiring

^ agreed. I'll be ordering one soon. I won't be off road much but it would be nice when parking.

What they said. Very useful with the Bypass. Makes pulling into a tight parking spot easier now that I can see what is in front of me. I still prefer reversing it into parking, but that isn't always possible.

yes will be very useful with the bypass and like it been said it's a pain to install after better off getting the factory one.i can't wait to get mine also it's on my mod list just want to do a few other mods first.

If I had to do it again, I would buy the factory front camera and a NavTv unit from Noah at The Car Stereo Co. But you can buy aftermarket cameras mounted in the factory housing which is what I did. The front camera was not an option on my 2011, or cooled seats, or MFT, or beadlock wheels, or back up sensors, or a front locking dif, or, I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

Anyone ever figure out a way to get the front camera to work when the tailgate is removed?

I use it when playing in the hills. Can see the other side of the crest be for going back down.

Extremely useful off-roading; with the bypass...Perfect!
