2012 F250 front camera

Good Morning,
I'm looking at installing one of these in the front of my F250.


Ford Super Duty Front Grille Camera System - Includes SYNC Lockpick 2009-2012


I love the rear camera and this will be really nice pulling into tight places. Plus, it has the lockpick. Does anybody have instructions on how to remove the Navigation system out of my dash?


Thank you for your help... <!-- / message -->

I never have removed the NAV itself but have removed the bezel around it.One 7mm bolt behind each of the power outlets down low by the upfitter switches.Once those are removed gently pull/pry strait out on the panel as it is just clipped in from there.

then there are a few bolts that hold the nav in place. 4 as I recall.
here is a link to doc when I change the nav in my 08.. seems the same

Wow, I've been searching the inter-web and can't find any info on removing the radio and dash in a 2012 F250. Does anyone have instructions on this?

remove the two lower compartments, one holds the power adapter. (cig lighter socket)

small screw driver in slot on bottom edge to pop the cover out..
remove the two bolts, one in each cubby

then the wood grained cover will come off, exposing the innards..
remove the 4 bolts holding the nav unit in place. pull out towards you.

Thank you all very much for your input. Talking to the store, they made it sound a little more involved in removing the nav.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas….

I had to do it multiple times. Its pretty easy. I have a front camera on mine. Unfortunately I rarely use it but it is cool to have.

The bezel (after removal of the two screws) is just pressed into the frame much like the piece under the steer wheel is with those tabs.


Start at a lower corner and slowly pull each tab out, working your way around it.


When you lift it completely off you will see that you need to disconnect the 4x4 switch to get it out of the way.


Can't recall if the cig lighter and the 110 outlets needs to be disconnected too.


but really simple.
