Nope, just the factory one. Absolutely no reason to go aftermarket though, none of them work anywhere near as well as the factory one. You can get the factory one online for just over $100.

+1. It's inexpensive. It fits in the slot made for it, so it doesn't look hokie. It works.

Raleigh, NC private shop …

can you provide the private company you were referring too. I can’t get the Ford dealerships near me to install wire and run for scan for backup camera or the trailer brake control.

thanks

It's a 15 to 20 minute job, you can do at home.

See here for the PDF to enable it. Print the PDF and take it along with you to the dealer. It's all right there step by step on how to enable it.

If you are in my area (Raleigh NC) then let me know and I know a private shop that will do it for you. Great guys.
