Yes it does play movies, until you pull it out of park. Thats where the Lock Pick comes in.

Oh really!! I thought it was only if it sensed speed because my next question was to just find the speed trigger wire and pull it out of the connector.

Definitely shuts it off when the gear lever is moved to drive. This one is on my X-Mas list. Not that I watch DVDs while driving, put being able to have the passenger (i.e. the wife) put a new address in the Nav is a nice feature. I also like the ability to add a second camera and view it while driving if I need to.

Very Very nice!! The Lockpick devices did NOT do this before. I had several discussions with the Lockpick folks because I wanted to add a camera and keep my factory camera. They were very firm (borderline rude) that it was simply not possible with their product. THey said that I could have 2 aftermarket cameras or the one factory backup but not factory + an add on. I decided to wait and hope...looks like I get my Christmas wish afterall.

I think the report was that people should "check back in the next couple weeks", hinting that something *might* be available... but they have no release date yet. That said, if someone already *has* a lockpick with the factory+aftermarket camera option... then I want one, too 
They were kinda rude to me when I asked, too. I have the factory tailgate camera, but I'd like to add one or possibly two cameras and keep the tailgate one. I'm thinking one behind the fiver and one on the cargo light to help when hitching up. I at least want the one behind the fiver... and being able to use it as a "rear view mirror" while towing would be awesome. IMO, Ford should look into this for a production feature. Those of us that tow long trailers would love the visibility

Downloaded the owners manual for the new truck and started reading it tonight. The tailgate camera has a connector under the truck in the rear. Obviously I don't have it yet but I was wondering if it was a standard video connector. If it was possible that would be a great place to hook up a rear trailer cam.

the connector is there so you can remove the tailgate (which has the camera in it)
course if you could connect the trailer cam here, you would still only need support for one camera. (at a time)

UPDATE!
I will give them a call today to find out where they stand with the factory installed camera. I agree with Porthole that the information on their website is confusing. It sounds like the new upgrade to run a factory camera and second aftermarket camera is available and ready to be purchased. But some are being told it will be available in a "couple of weeks".

Bummer. At least they "eluded to an interest in developing this feature", which is more than I got from them when I called. Not sure they realize how many folks think the product already does this and/or really want this feature.
