It's just an aftermarket front parking sensor kit I bought on Amazon for $43. I installed 4 sensors. I spoke to the dealer, and they don't sell any OEM addon front parking sensor kit for our trucks (according to them).

 

link? how does it work?

 

Awesome mod and looks great!

 

Doesn't the Lariat come with the 360 camera package already so after-market sensors would not be necessary?

 

My understanding is that the front camera only comes with the Tow Technology Package which gives you the 360 degree camera. That is a $1700 option, however I don't believe that gives you any front sensors. Maybe someone with the 360 camera can confirm this.

Personally, when I'm trying to make a slow tight turn in a parking lot, I would prefer to just hear beeping indicating proximity without pressing anything versus having to press the camera button multiple times to get to the right camera screen with the front camera. Perhaps other users can chime in on the practicality of the Ford front camera in such situations.

 

I was going to be funny and say that the drive way had been modified by a beautiful new 2017 SD.

 

Could I trouble you for a link to the kit you bought please?

 

The 360 camera comes with the Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System as well. It's an approx $700 option.

 

OK, fine, sensors, link and a install, where are they connected to????

 

Now I'm curious as I don't have the '17 yet. What's the deal with the 3 LED's being lit?

 

Yes it is a pain when maneuvering as you have to push the camera button every time you shift to drive from reverse. But it is only one push of the button and, of course, it automatically comes up for reverse. The 360 view is absolutely great once you get used to it. I think I'm spoiled now and won't ever have a truck without it.

 

Black tow hooks?

 

a new garage organizer??? I see it in the grille's reflection.

 

He said it was $43, so I assume it was this one. I am curious where he tapped power and if it's always on, thru an upfitter or if there is an accessory that can be tapped into that only comes on when going <10mph.

 

The product you linked is almost identical to the one I purchased. Same manufacture. Model number is slightly different.


I had a local stereo shop install the sensors for me. It is connected to one of the upfitter switches. After having them all these months, they seem OK. The only problem I have is that if it is raining hard, the sensors will go off. So, during strong rainstorms I switch the sensors off with the upfitter switch. Otherwise I leave the sensors on all the time. The visual display is tucked away under the dashboard. I don't use that.

They also had to use a special drill bit to drill through the chrome front bumper.

I have my dash cam connected to a different Upfitter switch.
