Factory Backup Camera Updgrade Possible?
My 2011 F250 was from Dealer inventory and didnt have the backup camera via the mirror, (it also doesnt have the Nav Unit) and I would like to add the option. Anyone done this? Anyone have the part numbers neccessary? I am guessing I would need the tailgate camera and the mirror but not sure of other parts required or even if possible. I would bet that the wiring harness is in place for it.
I have looked at adding an In-Dash Nav unit like the Kenwood DNX9960 or the Pioneer AVIC920BT, however, it would seem they are not really ready for prime time. Many issues and quirks with them.
Any thoughts? Much apprecaited.

I'm not 100% positive 2011 is the same but when I researched doing this on my 2010 I was told that I would need to build my own wiring harness to install the factory back up camera and even at that point I might need to visit the dealer to get the option turned on. I ended up going with a cheap aftermarket camera for easy of installation, the factory camera would be great though, I like the proximity markings of the factory unit to help estimate distance.
