Adding 360 Camera
Just picked up my new 250, and the wife found out about the 360 view system. She REALLY wants it. I know I can add an aftermarket camera, but I'd rather use the OEM system. I haven't seen any other threads discussing OEM options, does anyone have any concrete info on what it takes to add it? Obviously I'd need the camera, and a new nav bezel at least.

It's a total of 5 cameras, I dont think its something that can be done at a cost that isnt crazy. The 360 camera option is one of the options that needs to be decided on when shopping for the truck. It was a must have in my case, knowing it couldn't be added later, so the $710 msrp was worth it.

I picked up a 250 Lariat Sport/Ultimate on Saturday. I've only got a tailgate camera. What she says she wants is the forward facing camera. There are other threads talking about aftermarket options for that. I took it a step further to the 360 question. I could probably spend a thousand or so to do it. What I don't want is an aftermarket interface. No extra screen tucked away, etc. I wouldn't do it at all if that were my only option.

Just search 360 camera. There are several threads on the topic but I don't recall anybody being able to add the complete system. It's just far too complicated and cost prohibitive. Even the dealers refused to do it. Your best bet is adding an aftermarket front camera with an interface to your Sync 3.

Are cameras already there?
I just picked up my Platinum and it has everything but the 360 . However when I looked around at it there seems to be a camera in the front windshield and ones in the mirrors, and it already has the box and tail gate ones? Is it just a download Of software then? And what are those cameras looking lenses in the overhead console? Yah, I haven’t had time to look in the manual yet! Thanks

Those are not camera lenses in the overhead console, those are motion sensors so if your truck is locked with the alarm set and the windows are down, if someone or something reaches into the vehicle or if a bug flies into your vehicle, the alarm will go off.

360 camera plans
Do you have a camera in the grill below the Ford emblem?
Those are not camera lenses in the overhead console, those are motion sensors so if your truck is locked with the alarm set and the windows are down, if someone or something reaches into the vehicle or if a bug flies into your vehicle, the alarm will go off.

That is really good info on those sensors too, they looked like little spy nozzles! 👀! Hahahahahah. Thanks again for the great info!
