2015 backup camera install questions
getting ready to purchase a backup camera system for my new 2015 f250 xlt. On my last truck (Tundra) the wiring was already there I just had to tap into it and install cheap camera in the tailgate handle and put a cheap monitor in the overhead sun glasses holder, the entire project cost me $38. Sure it's probably not the best quality but it served my purposes perfectly (hooking up to my travel trailer)
So I'm wondering if the same wiring may be present in the Superduty?

ok, after some searching it seems there is at least some wiring built into the "standard" harness.
what I need to know is:
1. looks like there is a plug in the back by the spare tire, what harness do I need to hookup an aftermarket camera at the rear end.
2. I just have the plain old rear view mirror without the compass, where does the camera harness terminate on the inside of the truck? is it up by the sunglass holder? behind the dash?
thanks,
Andy

so if i purchase the above parts, I'm good all the way from the rear to the front kick panel or instrument cluster, from there I just run wires up to an aftermarket mirror/display in the visor? or am I better off going with a ford mirror/harness from the kick panel?

I've been looking at this mirror:
OEM Replacement Rear view Mirror with 4.3" LCD Display for Back Up Cam | Tailgate Camera.com
that would put me right around $300 for all the parts. Do you know if there is a OEM harness that gets me from the passenger side kick panel to the mirror, or am I better off just running the wires down and soldering directly?

Looking at the mirror you have scoped out, I doubt you need this harness. The harness with your selected mirror routes power and video down to the dash level. I think you would have to find a way to connect the factor video wires to the RCA plugs of the mirror you have selected.

Yes, there is a factory harness that routes the video to the mirror.

Got it! was hoping maybe I could find the pinout for the factory harness plug and solder the mirror wires directly in. Found this, but not sure if it's what I'm looking for:

Got under the truck tonight looking for the plug, but did not find anything? is it possible it's under the spare tire? or not there at all?
