Adding OEM Backup Camera?
I want to add the OEM backup camera to my XLT. I have the 4.2" screen and my truck might as well be an XL as the tailgate area isn't pre-wired for one. So, my understanding is I need to buy the tailgate handle, camera, tailgate harness, and then run the wires up to the drivers side fender well?
And my display can be programmed with Forscan to add the camera and no need to replace the display with one that is preprogramed?? I want to set this up as close to factory as possible.
Also, I already installed the factory bed light kit so I have the grey camera plug now back by the tailgate. I would also like to install the trailer hitch light..how would I wire that up like factory?
Thanks

As far as adding the backup camera, I recently went through this on my 2016 XL. I ordered this set: https://camera-source.com/ford-f150-...ay-s-2334.html
Which includes power. Everything was plug and play, and the power module also flashed the camera into the software. Nothing additional was required. The camera has been working flawlessly. The only complaint I have is I wish it was cheaper!

Yeah just have to add a couple pins if they are not there. 6 and 12 if I remember right. Then use forscan to change the bit in the fcdim
edit. I was thinking aftermarket. There are another thread for adding backup camera for the 8” but should be the simular.
