I am excited I just go my window sticker for my 2023 Lariat and a build date of next week. I am disappointed that they deleted the heated steering wheel but I can live without it. But they also deleted the 3rd brake light camera that allows you to see what you are hauling. I like that feature on my buddy's 2022 model which is why I ordered it. I talked to my salesman and he said I cant add it back. Anybody know if there is an aftermarket one that integrates with my 360 degree camera?

 

if the truck still has everything else for the 360 camera setup there is no reason you shouldn't have the other camera but if you don't it can be added if you are willing to get the parts for it and run the wires. should be a simple change to the ipma to enable it. I have the helm wiring book for my 21 if you want the wiring diagram for it. don't see that having changed between years. id be surprised if at least some of the wiring wasn't already there.

 

this is light based on my vin and it looks like the camera is included

here is the camera by itself

I would wonder if those parts are actually available?? It dosen't make sense if they have parts but delete on a build ...I read something the other day the controller chip shortage is why they delete certain parts & that 3rd brake camera control chip is not available ...again ?? just saying??

 

Well check out if the wiring is there first. Ford just realized the E Mustang had a Mile of extra unneeded wire that totaled to 70#'s of extra weight.

Doesn't take long in today's production world to DROP un-need wires and materials to meet the present production requirements.

There is a list of things that Ford is not including starting in 2023......one of which is the third brake light camera.

 

dealer I went to with my grandma to order an edge had this 23 with that camera

 

Built in 2022 though.

 

Thanks for the replies. I will see if it is an aftermarket I can order later.

 

I'm curious, did the window sticker note it as a removal or it's just not listed somewhere as it was before. Multiple things on my Platinum order were removed, but it says nothing about that being removed.
