Does anyone happen to have a master listing available of the different oval hard button configurations above the sync3 screen?

I have Traction Control on the left, Flasher/Hill Decent on the right.

If I had the 360 camera option would I have a third button or another split button with traction control?

 

Try this Ford Parts website for doing a search for what you are looking for.

There would be an additional button for the camera. Are you looking to do something?

 

So, yeah… kind of long story but for the last few months I’ve been tinkering with this stuff.

Currently I have a Naviks module for my Sync3. This allows me to hold the power button down for a few seconds, cycle through 3 camera inputs.

1) Front camera (any speed, any time)
2) Auxiliary Camera (any speed, any time)
3) OEM backup camera (limited to 7mph)

There is a dip switch on the module to allow camera 1 to come on automatically when switching from reverse to drive. This is great most of the time except when I need the normal rear delay function while hooking up my trailer. I soldered a lead wire to this dip switch so now I have a switch to turn this feature on/off without taking the unit apart.

Camera 2 is hooked up to my trailer’s backup camera. This is great - but again only when I’m using the trailer. I want to add additional cameras. I just purchased an OEM CHMSL camera online fairly cheap ($180 brand new from a dealer on ebay). I’ve been stalking eBay for a while to try and find one cheap as I didn’t want to pay the $400 TASCA wanted for it.

If I hook the CHMSL camera up with the OEM harness’ the internal communication system will lock it down after 7mph like the OEM backup camera - not ideal… so I got poking around.

After doing a lot of research and speaking with some electronics gurus on here, I believe I found a way to pipe in the CHMSL video feed outside of the internal communication and directly into my Naviks unit so I can now view the video at any speed by simply switching to the auxiliary camera port.

Now I’m down the rabbit hole of how do I wire this all up so I can switch between two yellow RCA video feeds going into only one available auxiliary input.

The simple solution is to add a RCA splitter and a switch that will transfer the 12v power between the two cameras so whatever camera has power will be the one that displays on the screen.

This is all well and good but I like the OEM look. I purchased a 4 channel, 12v relay board (leaves room for two more in the future if I want). I also purchased an Arduino Nano board and a small push tactile switch. I uploaded code to the nano board that will switch from Relay 1 to Relay 2, Relay 2 to Relay 3, etc each time the button is pressed.

So my final thought and the reason for this post is wondering if I bought the OEM camera button, could I replace the small tactile button on my bench test with the OEM camera button so when I press it, it will cycle through the cameras tied into the aux feed and look OEM at the same time.

I was really hoping they made a traction control / camera combo switch as I didn’t really want to shell out the extra money for the three button bezel.

Anyway, sorry for the long post but that’s what I’ve been up to. If I ever get it work I’ll try to share a write up for anyone that is interested.

 

I gotta admit, most of what you are up to is over my head, I'm pretty much electrically illiterate....but I understand the reason for the question now. The only split button with camera button I recall seeing is the lane departure/ camera combo.

 

There is also one with the flasher / camera but my flasher is with the hill decent button.

 

Hmm, I don't know what would be involved on the wiring side(probably a nightmare), but if you were able use one of those, you would then just need a downhill assist / traction control button.

This is one listed as being for an F-150.

 

Someone here with a gas truck used the button combo from the diesel trucks with the traction control and the exhaust brake combo. The EB button was used as a momentary switch for some accessory he was running. I’ll dig around later and see if I can’t find the post…

 

Yeah, that’s similar to what I’m looking to do. Wish it had the icon of the camera though… I wonder if the front of the button be taken off and replaced?

That may be worth looking into as they aren’t that expensive.

Yes the cover of the button can be removed. Yes you can mess with the wiring. I did a write up on moving the switches around (swapping the three banks to the order I wanted). I then did a write up on how to swap the buttons. I have no idea who decided the order for those buttons but it always drove me crazy so I got as close to what I wanted that was possible. I will try to find the link.

When my 2022 arrives in a month or so, this mod will happen on day one.

 

Thanks for taking the time to make this post.

Next time i’m bored I will move the camera button over to the left side. I need to decide on one of these modules to allow me to use the camera at “speed”. Seems like they all have their pros and cons. I really just want it to work like OEM but without the speed restrictions.

I like the front camera for nosing into tight spaces but always seems like I push the button before I’ve slows down quite enough to allow it. Then you have to wait for the warning to go away…

 

These links should definitely help!! Thanks !

Does anyone have the part number for the lane keep assist / camera button? I would need this item as a doner take swap the diesel break button with the camera icon.

I’m assuming these are all momentary switches internally?
