This is great news for you Sync 3 guys. I'm glad there are vendors that step up and support their products without giving you any grief.

Camera Source was very helpful and supportive for me when I installed my front/sides camera kit on my Sync 2. I screwed up the harness, breaking off the end connector trying to pull it through the firewall, and they sent me a replacement right away no charge. It is still working great after 8 months.

OK, Sorry!...I used those brackets because I wanted to have the ability to aim back to see vehicles not just beside me but coming up on me...Must have, IMO!

Also, make sure you get a camera that can be adjusted for that purpose. The 1st cameras I received couldn't be aimed back due to the fact mirror is at an angle.
