Adding rearview camera and PowerFold mirrors to a '10?

I have a 2010 Lariat CC 4x4. I bought it late in the model year to get in on the incentives and had to choose from what I could find on dealer lots. I basically ended up with the exact truck I was looking for except that it doesn't have a rearview camera. I've done some searching here and it seems that I can just buy the camera, plug it in and have a dealer reprogram the computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong. And if I've got that right, is it nearly impossible to convince a dealer to re-flash a truck that doesn't have any other issues?

Also, I noticed that you can now get PowerFold mirrors on the 2011s. Anybody know if there is a chance I could make them work on my 2010?

People have added the camera, as you read, so I'm guessing there are dealers out there willing to do that for you. I'm not sure on the mirrors. I know you can add the tow mirrors if you have the regular ones, but that's all I know.

Look in the 04-08 forum. Some guy made his work. Mirrors are possible, but complicated.......

You can make it work, but requires a Body Control Module program update, which would likely have to be done at the dealer.

Were the PowerFold mirrors an option on any 2010 models? I know you couldn't get them on a Lariat, but maybe they were an option on the Platinum?

Does anybody know the part number(s) I need for the camera?

Thanks again!

they were standard on the Platinum for 09 and 10. Even the Platinum owners that switched from the tow mirrors back to the powerfold standard mirrors had a hard time getting the powerfold feature to work. It does take additional dealer reprograming as mentioned above, and some dealers don't have a clue on how to do it.

Thanks SteveVFX4!

The PowerFold mirrors weren't available on '09-10 Lariats. I'm pretty sure you can get them on the 2011 Lariats, though.
