I recently purchased a 2022 F150 XLT. It comes with a rear camera, but has no front camera. I stopped at my local Ford dealership and they quoted me around $500 for a front camera, new Ford emblem, and cable to install a front camera on the front grill. Sadly they did not share part numbers, and the parts rep told me I may need to purchase an additional module that would allow the truck computer to process/show the front camera image.
A few comments, to keep costs down I am hoping to do all work myself, otherwise I likely cannot afford this mod. I am NOT interested in 360° cameras, just the front bumper camera when parking my truck as I live in a large city.
My question to the forums here are as follows:
1. Do you recommend I purchase the OEM camera, emblem, and cables from Ford?
2. If No for #1, what do you recommend as an alternative?
3. Is there a module or upgrade I need to purchase for the truck computer or additional tasks to get the truck to display the front camera image when parking?
4. If #3 is yes, is there a YouTube video to do the computer modules/upgrade for the front camera?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have limited success in finding data/info on my own for this effort.
Thank you,
Z
