Add second camera screen?
My dad has a 2015 F150 XLT, he has sync but the small camera screen. He wants to add another camera and screen to better see when backing up. I am curious if the camera feed can be Tee'd into and split to another screen without adding a separate camera? Either a screen mounted on dash or a rear view mirror with screen. Thanks for any input.

I'm a little late but surprisingly, it IS an analog signal coming into the radio. Analog is still much cheaper than digital while giving decent image quality†. You can find 'APIM Extension' cables on Amazon that add a connection for a rear camera, theoretically it'd work the other way, too: factory camera feeding video to both the radio and external display.
The only caveat is that I don't know if hooking one video source to two displays works well. Might be an impedance issue of sorts. I also don't have a diagram in front of me to verify the pinout on the smaller,screen radios
(† Except when it comes to GM. Drove a 2020 Silverado for work and I think a broken Betamax rescued from a flood would have better image quality.)
