Just installed my Navik system.... its not bad but its also not GREAT. coming off a 17 2500HD with built in cameras that are operational during movement along with left and right turn signal cameras that come on when indicators are used. The Navik works but there are quite a few buttons that need to be pressed when you start your truck. Rear Defroster/ Front Defroster 2 or 4 times etc... Camera clarity on the turn signals leaves quite a bit to be desired as it is fuzzy and pixelated. For anyone using the system, pressing the front defroster button will get you out of the cameras. since there is no home button or back when using the system. It took me quite a bit to figure out how to get out of the setup. All and all im pleased but not sure if im $550 pleased.

I dont even have mine (NavTV) yet and I can tell you I wouldn't have purchased at $450....$250 still stings for something I think FORD should have included....but at $250 its a little more palatable.
One of the things I like about the NavTV is that it remembers what camera you were last using / looking at - so a simple touch of the OEM camera button and it returns to the same view.

since the cameras are resolution or clarity of the cameras are gonna be the same regardless of the solution, and it could be that ford never intended the side cameras to be full screen (rather split screen each side).
