Default Front camera on Synch 3

I read a couple of threads about adding Lockpick front grill camera on Synch 2 2015 models. Is it possible to add this on a 2016 with Sync3 ?

As far as I know... No!

At least, not yet. There are numerous tread here on the subjet.

If any one can prouve me wrong, I'd be the first to be greatful.

There are various (promising ???) product being shown on Youtube but so far seem to be unavailable to get...

These product add some more (new) fonctionnality to the Sync3 interface and hopefully add some AUX-VIDEO-INPUT (for other camera);

"LOCKPICK" interface is not compatible with sync 3. I e-mailed company yesterday and confirmed. I am currently checking with Brandmotion as they have an interface that only adds the front camera by jumpering into the video signal/wiring that looks like it would work. (does not give you all the bells and whistles of the "lockpick" but would allow a second camera. I will update once I hear back from them.

that would be nice. I just want a way for me to see how close the truck is to a wall/obstacle when I park.

I installed curb alert on my Mustang. It alerts you when you're getting close to an obstruction such as curbs walls etc. not visually but with beeps.

I'm sure if you look them up they have something available for trucks.

heard back from Brandmotion today - they say their dual camera interface (front using OEM rear) and also their 360 view system will work on the 2016 F150 with Sync 3. if you have the Pro Trailer assist they say that will no longer work.

got clarification from Brandmotion today. their 360 view system would cause loss of pro trailer function due to replacement of OEM rear camera. they are now saying that their dual view system which continues to use OEM rear camera would not affect Pro-trailer.
