Thanks for letting me know I just ordered it too and now I also have to find someone to install it. I know Car Toys will install but they are a bit more expensive.

Best Buy will install it also, I think around $180 for install.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you posted in the wrong thread.

I also have a 2015 F150 with the 4.2" screen and it is not equipped with the rear camera. I would like to order the camera source backup camera system that uses the existing 4.2" screen too. What is the package number and how fast can I get it delivered b/c I'd like to install it after Christmas. Also, will ALL the existing sync functions and the steering wheel controls and functions continue to work with no problems once the camera source kit is installed? I have the 2.7L XLT SuperCrew.

Also, I'm interested in adding the Navigation system and the Sirrus XM radio aftermarket too. Can I purchase the Ford equipment and have it installed?

I'm looking into installing this kit on my 2015 F150 XLT with the 300a package. Is it a simple plug and go once its installed or is there some kind of programming in the console that needs to be done?

I installed it on my 2015 F150 XL and the kit comes with everything you need, make sure you get the updated brain when you order though they should have gotten rid of the old kits by now.

I had the old brain and had some issues with it finding the camera and turning off the radio but they are very good at customer service and replaced the brain with only one phone call and the new brain works perfect.

You do have to program the brain, however it is simple and comes with instructions on how to do it.

I never got any feedback on the Camera Source equipment, so I purchased and installed the Garmin Nuvi 6" GPS navigation and the Garmin backup camera that wirelessly syncs with the Nuvi. Seems to be working very well. The Nuvi is just plug and play after you register and update map thru computer. I mounted it on my windshield just about an inch above the inset tray in the center of the dash and ran the wire down the dash and plugged into the cigarette lighter plug. I leave it plugged and on all the time. It goes to sleep about 10-15 minutes after I leave the truck. I mounted the camera on top center of my bumper - then ran the wires over to my rear left tail light fixture. Easy to access. Then connected up wires to backup light power Using quick connects (have to press hard to get connections). Then stuffed everything through the bottom opening into the taillight fixture area. Then just synced the camera with the Nuvi and adjusted camera and lines as described.
The angle is a little low and would prefer having it mounted up by the tailgate latch BUT it's wireless and that's nice. I need to buy and install 4 backup sonar alarms in the bumper to complete it.
Let me know how yours goes.

The Garmin Nuvi was about $175 and the Garmin backup camera was about $130 I think.
