Front Camera Install

I too wanted the front facing camera on my 2020 Crosstrek Sport (before I traded it). I was told it would likely cost about $5,000 to do seeing it required a new Head Unit, wiring and labour. That ended my want/need for the camera.
LMAO FUCKING WHAT?

I bought a Belsee aftermarket unit to get rid of the absolute piece of **** that the stock nav is. It cost $400 something. Sold the original unit for $200 on ebay. Then I bought a camera on amazon for $10 and wired it up to the AV in line with an av cable I already had. And now I have a front camera for a few hundred bucks. But then I noticed that the camera light was always on so I wired it to a little switch. Now I can flash people with it. Made some guy in a truck with fucked up leds laugh.

I've never used it for anything tbh. Just saw that the unit had an AV-in function and decided to nerd out.

Here's a video I recorded asking Belsee a question (they are very good at replying). It should demonstrate how the AV-in functions as well as more of the headunit. (The answer to my question is I must use stock launcher to use it)
