New F150 owner ('24 Lariat in Antimatter). Loving the truck.
I went ahead and ordered the FitCamx for it and it arrived today - because of how #$%! drive - and had a couple of questions for those who have them now (seems like a popular choice).
1. FitCamx requires WIFI. Obv as soon as you turn on WIFI, carplay disconnects. Seem like a PITA to constantly cycle WIFI to see the cam. Wonder how others are dealing with this. I have older iPhone and Android devices lying about. I could just dedicate that one to Cam if I really wanted to watch it (particularly for rear facing, see below).
2. I have a (unlicensed, public freq) wireless RV backup Cam. Was considering doing a longer cable run from the FitCam to the back of the RV. Wondering if FitCam will sell an additional cable for the rearview Cam run, or if that cable is some standard cable I could buy on the 'open market'. Or other thoughts on this.
Any other words of wisdom on the FitCamx - or either of the above greatly appreciated. It seems the FitCamx is a popular choice.
