Adding front camera





This solution sounds a lot easier to use than the radar idea I had in previous thread, especially if it automatically activates at <3mph in forward gear (I assume no wheel button required?)... I presume R gear will engage backup camera as always.

If this isn't a fully packaged product kit, can you at least provide a list of component parts required so that we can shop on our own?

The camera in reply #13 seems to be spoiler -mounted?
If that is a curb at the end, it makes impression of retaining wall

Usually front cameras are mounted about 2 ft above the ground, so you can see more traffic.
I also am keen on automatic switching on. I am already annoyed with my rear-view camera, that takes over GPS screen when I need it the most.

No response from my email to JasonB to date.





No, Jason has not answered my email. He may not be there anymore, in which case I'd like to find someone else there...

Thanks!




Thats probably not a simple upgrade... The 360 cam on my 2019 Ford Expedition uses cameras under both side mirrors plus a front camera and the rear camera, all those will need wiring, and the COMAND processor likely needs fairly extensive coding/reprogramming to support it, other modules may well need coding to support the feature, too.
