Our front cameras either surface mount on the grille, install in the front emblem, or get mounted under one of the cross members of the grille, depending on model and year.
I'm still waiting for a Front Camera for a '15....I have the 8in screen and factory backup cam.

The factory 360 system is really cool but requires you to press a button on the dash for certain feature activation. Here are some cool features we can do with 8" screens:

1. Front camera auto activation below 7 mph
2. Auto side camera activation with turn signal
3. Turn any camera on while moving in any gear, any speed. Including side, front, and rear cameras
4. Add a second rear camera to put on your trailer or other location that is auto-activated in reverse - all controlled through the on-screen menu interface
5. Unlock navi destination entry while in motion and DVD in motion (if equipped)
6. Stream video from your iPhone or Android phone directly to your 8" screen using Apple AirPlay or Google MirraCast

If you are 4.2" screen equipped without factory rear camera we can do the following:
1. 4.2" direct rear camera interface to add aftermarket rear camera
2. Force rear camera on at any time (requires toggle switch)
3. Add a front camera
4. Force front camera on at any time (requires toggle switch)

Our front cameras either surface mount on the grille, install in the front emblem, or get mounted under one of the cross members of the grille, depending on model and year.

Our rear cameras are either emblem based or handle based, depending on your desired configuration.

Our side cameras go under the side mirrors and are fully adjustable. These are challenging to install but they work great and eliminate blind spots.

See our full line of Ford cameras here:

Call or email us if you need help getting the right kit put together for your vehicle.

Is there any way we can use factory 360 cameras as surveillance if the alarm is tripped

I can barely notice the camera on mine. Not sure I'd call it 'giant', especially next to the huge Ford badge.

No there is nothing on the market that will allow the factory 360 cameras to be triggered on a g-sensor or movement etc. They are not setup for DVR at all but that would be a cool feature though.

We have a rear view mirror that has a 1080p camera installed where if the car gets jolted it will auto-record, even while parked with the key turned off. But that camera can only point forward so it's only useful if someone backs into you while parked.

Also do you know (I have not looked yet) if the front and side camera wiring is pre installed in a 2015 F150 Lariat 502a package?

Can you post some pics or add to your website what it looks like on the mytouch nav screen with the front camera option and if I wanted to use this to see a camera I have on the back of my camper?

Just wanted to make sure if it takes over the whole screen or you still have other functions like a PIP with the added front camera and or the assy RCA camera plug in?

Also I looked on your website and did not see anything for the 2015 yet?

1. Front camera auto activation below 7 mph
2. Auto side camera activation with turn signal
3. Turn any camera on while moving in any gear, any speed. Including side, front, and rear cameras
4. Add a second rear camera to put on your trailer or other location that is auto-activated in reverse - all controlled through the on-screen menu interface
Thanks for your questions. Here's some additional information:

1. Yes all these features can be turned off/on with either the included remote (MyTouch Air model) or using the steering wheel controls manually. They can also be configured to come on automatically below 7mph or with the turn signals but this is not required
2. To my knowledge the non-camera equipped trucks are not pre-wired
3. You can see some photos of what the screen looks like with the various cameras activated on the product pages linked below:

Here are the two options if you want to add just a front camera to your 2015 F150 Lariat or XL:

Standard MyTouch interface (will not stream smart phone, no remote control, only 3 camera inputs)
https://camera-source.com/automotive...pick-1577.html

MyTouch Air interface (top of the line does everything)
https://camera-source.com/automotive...pick-1576.html

If you want to add side cameras for a complete 360 view you will need this kit:

https://camera-source.com/automotive...pick-1579.html

If you do not currently have a rear camera and want to add the entire setup to your truck to include rear camera, front camera, and two side cameras you will need this setup:

https://camera-source.com/automotive...h-systems.html


I can also bundle a rear and front camera together with a 4.2" interface for those who have a 2015 without any cameras. Just zap an email or give a call and we can configure this stuff however you want.

I'd be interested in the answer to that also.

The Mytouch Lockpick comes with the following features:



                So there you have it all in a nutshell. We bundle the Lockpick with our camera systems or you can buy just the lockpick here:

                Standard MyTouch:
                https://camera-source.com/accessorie...on-unlock.html

                MyTouch Air:
                https://camera-source.com/accessorie...on-unlock.html

                If you have an older truck (2012 or earlier) you would need the SYNC Lockpick found here:
                https://camera-source.com/accessorie...on-unlock.html

                What information do you provide for install for a 2015 F150?

                Do you ever offer sales on this kit?
