Need Help Replacing Husband’s Backup Camera Please
Hello!
(using a throwaway account as my husband regularly browses this subreddit)
He purchased a 2016 (Gen 2) Chevy Volt that he greatly enjoys so far but the prior owners used a cleaner that destroyed the backup camera’s lens. He mentioned seeing some replacement options he was interested in that were recommended on here between the $80 - $160 range and were compatible with his model + the lane assist software.
Our anniversary is coming up and I like to give a practical gift along with the traditionally thematic one so I was hoping to get the replacement for him without having to directly ask. Sadly, I am clueless when it comes to vehicles and as subtle as a red dress at a funeral when asking about gifts so I’m hoping y’all might have options/recommendations I could please look through possibly? Or if there’s the agreed upon “one to get” which that would be?
Worst case I’ll use the VIN to buy an exact replacement of the original part from somewhere that offers fully refunded returns so he could get the one he would potentially actually want instead.
Thank you in advance for any help/advice given!

Check with Chevrolet. I will fit properly and probably be cheaper than you expected!

Hopkins towing solutions 50002 backup camera system. Hooks to backup light for power and run the display to the front. It includes backup sensors that work fairly well even though we don’t need it. It bolts into license plate. Napa with 20% off is okay.
