This kit shows as on backorder. When do you expect more stock?
Unfortunately the MyTouch Air version is no longer produced and the standard MyTouch II lockpick will not allow for side cameras and front camera. With the MyTouch II you can do a rear camera and a front camera, or rear camera with two side cameras but not front and side. The reason is that one of the side camera ports is needed for the front camera and when the programming defaults are set to front camera mode the turn signal activation etc. is disabled.

So in the case of a 2015 with 8" screen where you want to add front camera and side cameras you must use our multi-cam interface as mentioned above.

Hope that clears up your question. If not zap us back and we'll clarify further.

Lockpick has said they were working on a replacement for the MyTouch Air but that was over a year ago and still nothing that we can sell.

Thanks,

For clarification our multi-cam interface only works on 8" screens. We can do front and rear cameras on the 4.2" screen but no side cameras with auto switching.

So for those looking for non-lockpick solution:

8" screen: can do aftermarket or factory rear camera, aftermarket front, and aftermarket side cameras (x2) with auto switching using turn signals and auto front/rear by gear selection and radio power button.

4.2" screen: can do aftermarket or factory rear camera and aftermarket front camera. Rear cam comes on in reverse but front camera must be manually triggered using toggle or our automatic front camera integration sensor (triggers camera on when you get close to an object).

Really, reaaally like this option. I'll give you guys a call later this week, traveling for business.

The MYT versions of all those part numbers are available but have some limitations if you want side cameras and front camera (it can't do both).

That being said we have the alternate interface because some people do not want Lockpick and/or need front and side camera inputs. In addition, if you have a 2016 you cannot use Lockpick because it's incompatible.

The front camera that I'm speaking of customizing for you is not on our site but here is a picture of a sample that we punched out a while back. It's the OEM bracket with our highest grade Super CMOS front camera so the picture quality is excellent. We sell the same camera in an emblem housing for $289 ($259 for forum members) but we'll build one in the 2015 OEM bracket for $199, which will terminate in RCA for easy connection into a Lockpick or our multi-cam interface.

Just give a call and we can get you setup. We would provide the finished product because our tech's have to install the camera into the mount for proper alignment. This setup is by far the best but we don't do many just because it requires a grille replacement. Since you already have the grille you're ready to rock!







Thanks!

Do you have a link to your interface device? I am only interested in front aftermarket (the one above) and factory/oem rear camera.

Thanks for answering questions

I went on your website and the max year for the F150 I can select is 2015.

Does your system not work with the 16' Sync 3 system?

The only ones we have on the website currently are with Lockpick, which does not work with 2016 Sync 3. The 8" multi-cam interface is the only one that will work and it's not on the retail website yet. I've asked them to bundle them with all sorts of camera options for you guys... I suspect there will be some options on the web before the end of the week. Otherwise, call with your configuration and we can get you set up with exactly what you need.

Another new setup we are working on is a plug and play OEM rear camera for 4.2 and 8" screens. It's super cool because you don't have to take your radio out it simply plugs into the factory wiring and comes with an ODBII programmer - 20 minutes and you're up and running with an OEM rear camera. This is rear camera only and requires that the truck be prewired.

Lot's of cool stuff in the hopper so stay tuned.

Unfortunately they are not on the website yet but I know they are working on it. I'm hoping they will all be online with several camera options in a couple days.

Thanks and glad we can help!

Just select sales (option 0) from the main menu and Tricia or Scott can help you. They are both up to speed with what I have been talking about in this forum.
