2019 grand touring I think.

it has a backup cam and the grill has a slot by the emblem. Just wondering if it’s a big project.

What is the purposes for the front camera? If you want it to back you up in case someone hits you, you want the camera up high in the windshield to show traffic from the sides. I have one of those and up by the mirror you can hardly see it. I have it plugged into one of the USB ports in the dash. If you want one to see the road, I don't see much point in that but if you have fabrication skills, something like the helmet camera I used to use will fit. If you want it for trail driving, you'll need to mount a video screen somewhere. My CX-5 is comfortable but there really isn'y a good place to mount a screen.
