I added a really cool custom camera system to my 2008 King Ranch. Check out this thread to see a video of it.

Or check out the web site I built to demonstrate the system to Ford (hoping they might want to buy it and include it as a factory option in the future)
FOUR-CAMERA Vehicle Video System

Any way, I recently traded that truck on a 2011 King Ranch and am currently working to get the same system installed on this new truck. There are a few issues created by the differences in the newer trucks but nothing I can't overcome.

Stay tuned...

I'm tuned...

 

Is there any way this can work with an Aftermarket head unit? i have an 04 F250 that didn't have any navigation but I am adding a touch screen head unit that supports a backup camera would that work with this?

 

Was this camera ever released and has anyone tried it. I love my rear camera but really wish these big beasts would come with a front camera. Would really help when parking and trying to squeeze in a tight area. Is there anything else out on the market that will work with my factory Navigation?

 

This looks like a nice system.

FORD LOCKPICKS

 

I'd like to get one of these.

 

From reading, i didn't think the lockpick would allow you to use a front camera.

 

I called 4D Tech and they said they are still in the process of getting this developed. I was informed though that it should be released this year and will work in the F250 with Nav. Keeping my fingers crossed

 

their website of where it will be released is 4dtech.com

 

This thread is relevant to my interests. Subscribing.

I just installed a rear camera above the door on my slide-in camper and wired it up so it displays on the dash Sync display like the OEM tailgate camera. While in the middle of this project I tested four different cameras and wired them up to a homemade video switch. (I'm a video engineer by trade.) I just looked at the 4D website and that looks to be a pretty professional install complete with a custom steering wheel button, and the Lockpick is cool also but yikes - the price is a bit steep if all you want to do is run an extra camera and couldn't care less about playing DVD's and having the nav controls work while underway.

What I intend to do is use one or more of the upfitter switches to control one or two extra cameras but then I ran into the problem of finding the dang wires for those things under the dash and now I'm off building a much better circuit board for those.
