Default How to retrofit Night Vision in the C7

Hi Guys,

My car doesn't have the Night Vision option. I was wondering if anyone has tried to retrofit (OEM) Night Vision in a car that didn't come with it. Would the wiring harness of a car that doesn't have NV from factory be the same or not?

If assuming it is the same, and there is a slot to plug in the camera/processor or whatever is needed. I would assume that its a matter of programming after that.

If anyone has had experience with this, please share.

Do you have the heads up display?

Adding night vision will not be inexpensive and it doesn't add much value to your car. I use mine all the time but I don't think I would try to add it. What year is your C7?

Yo will need night vision camera, NV control unit, replacement instrument cluster, camera cleaning system, wiring.
Coding needs to be done and CP removed from instrument cluster and mileage correction.
Expensive job but not too difficult to do

I think night vision is one of those items where the sum of the parts is quite a bit higher than the option was new.

Aside from Night Vision and HUD what other functions are there exactly for that system?
