Keep us informed please.

Curious as to what they charged for installing.
I’m considering front and rear

they charged me 100 bucks labor

I had the ford option installed yesterday. Have not played with it yet or the app.

What is the cost of the Ford unit and do you have a part number for it ? Thanks

I had them install front and rear cameras, about $325 for the cameras and $125 install

Do you have a part number for the camera ?

Not right handy, but it listed in the accessory guide posted somewhere on this site.
It’s down toward the bottom

Was the install done at a Ford dealership ?

Yes
it is a Thinkware product
Ford # VHL3Z-19G490-E
Thinkware # DC-M1-FG

once I figured out how to connect, I was kind of impressed.
the dealer set it up nicely and I had no adjustments to make at all.
it is sensitive, I get an audible beep on some aggressive bumps, and the camera saves that particular file and won’t overwrite.

not a premium type camera I’m sure, as I have nothing to compare to, but better than I expected

From what I can tell the Ford dash cam on their site is a Thinkwear F200D with an OBD plug. $150 at Best Buy plus $40 for the plug.

im sure I could have got it for less, but I did not want to install, and I had no intention of picking the truck up for a few days.

Garmin 66w is one of the best cameras I’ve owned. Much better than any of the top rated Chinese junk.

Wondering what engine configuration you have. Im curious if your setup works on the Powerboost. I read on the Thinkware website, the power adapter T harness isn't for hybrids.

5.0.
I’m a bit set in my ways. Six cylinders don’t belong in full size trucks.
But then I have a 4x4 SuperCab with an 8 ft box.

I’ve had one pickup with a six—could barely pull itself around and couldn’t hardly even carry 500 pounds.

If you have a dash cam system installed by anyone other than a Ford dealership, does it affect your warranty at all?
