I mounted a wired camera to the front bumper and fed it under the left wing. Fed thru a hole in the firewall on and under the door sill back to the cubby where the Nav system is. This is where I fed the rear camera feeds as well.

I was going to hardwire switches into the console but decided i really wanted a fully removable system so I opted for a remote switch. Its about $25 bucks on amazon. Once wired up, I can turn on the front or rear camera, the rear camera has prioriity based on the new rear view mirror system/ The rear camera comes on almost instantly when selecting Reverse ( wired to reverse light) I use front camera when parking.

Wireless remote switch -

Front Camera -

Front Cam under center bumper

Camera wire in look under wing to firewall

Rear cubby on left side

Wiringin nav area

Remote mounted in strap on door

Wire under doo sill to rear

I have some vids that show how they work but they are too large to post. One is 17 mg MP4 and other is 40 mg MP4.

61mga is infamous around these parts
create a channel on youtube, if you don't have one, and post them there with a title like "aston martin camera installation", or some such... assuming you've got the time and inclination. maybe you'll become an "influencer" and make a lot of money.

For those wanting to see brief video of how the rear view mirror front and rear cameras work.

Not great but gets the point across
