2013 XLT backup camera vs 2014

I just saw on a dealers website that the 2014 XLT has the backup camera displaying on the 4.2" screen. My 13 has the 4.2" screen but my backup camera display sin the rear view mirror.

Anyway to change it to display on the 4.2" screen?

My '11 6.7 had it in the rear view mirror.

My 13 F150 has it in the MFT screen.

I much prefer it in the rear view mirror.... that is where you are supposed to be looking.

It's probably not a change. My '13 XLT had three 4.2" screens: One in the instrument cluster, one above the radio, and one in the rearview mirror. I'm pretty sure the 4.2" screen the website is referring to is still in the mirror.

I am pretty sure that is new for the 14's. It is in the dash as opposed to the mirror. A few guys on here and other forums have already tried to convert it down to the dash (I would love this also), but it has proven to be cost-prohibitive.

Tom, it is indeed in the 4.2 screen that the radio uses. Thanks for the feedback guys.

My 08 had the display in the mirror. My 2012 has the display in the MFT screen. Having the display in the mirror was easier to use because it was right where you are looking. When I,m backing up to the trailer I do like the larger display in the MFT. Too bad we can't have both.
