Question is....why cant I order a front Ford Grill/Camera Emblem and enable it in Forscan?
Don't the Platinums and or Tremors have the front camera setup?
I was told by my Dealership service advisor that their is not one for my application?
I have the Upfitter Switches so I know I can do it that way, but I still dont understand not being able to have it up in the front grill.
What say you dudes...🤔

Well....researching a little closer I think the trucks with the LED Head Lamps are probably the only ones that have that option?
Looks like upfitter switch to aftermarket camera setup😉
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to add any part of the 360-degree camera systems to these trucks after the fact. The trucks with 360-degree camera systems have at a minimum a different image processing module B. It is likely some other seemingly benign modules are different, like the ABS module. Aside from the difference in modules, trucks with the 360-degree camera system have different wiring harnesses.
To illustrate the dependencies of modules in these trucks, a '22 XLT can have 360-cameras. Trucks with the 360-degree camera systems have basically the same wiring harnesses and modules as the platinum trucks. This is why features like adaptive cruise control can be added to trucks with 360-degree camera system, regardless of trim. Trucks without 360-cameras were never intended to support features like adaptive cruise control (which requires different ABS, image processing modules and steering column modules).
Your best would be to add an aftermarket screen inside the cab, add required wiring, and somehow epoxy an aftermarket camera in the OEM front camera hole for a clean install. Probably wire this all up to an upfitter switch.
When I tow I have a 360° Furrion Observation Camera setup on the truck dash ....that looks like its suppose to be there🤔😁and really works great.
maybe I will see if it could be that simple to add or tap into that monitor with an additional Furrion camera set in the grill area?
It could work?......of course it won't be that easy-lol
We shall see!

On lower trim trucks, it was a bargain back in the 2017-19 MYs. It gave you Sync 3, 110v power outlet, trailer brake controller, trailer hookup light on tailgate, etc
