I've looked at this. They have videos online. If the 360 birds eye view is what you are looking for they don't provide it. You can only see one video source at a time.

I noticed that. I don’t need the overhead view just a front camera. I like you can watch videos with the interface too.

I considered it for adding a front view camera. I just don't want it that bad.

Is there a way to simply enable it via FORScan and add the button to see just the regular rear camera (in the tailgate)? I honestly don't care about the other views; just want the rear cam. Or would it only work if you had the entire system installed? Looks like the button is an easy swap on the center console area....

If you’re just talking about seeing the tailgate cam while moving, I thought they rolled this out through some of the OTA updates. Mine does it at least, no FORScan needed.

Can you elaborate? How do you turn it on? And what version Sync do you have? I can't do that with mine and have always had it updated to the latest OS.

I’d have to check which version I’m on, but I bought my truck in December ‘21, and it had it enabled from the start. I have a camera button above the screen, same row as the hazard lights, and I just hit the button whether I’m moving or stationary. Turns on at any speed.

Also, for clarity, I do not have the 360 degree camera option. It’s just the normal reverse camera.

Is your truck a '21? Mines an '18 and I do NOT have the button as you describe although it appears it can be purchased and swapped easily. And I'm handy enough in FORScan.

Yes, Mine is a '21. Didn't realize you had a 2018 as this is posted in the 2021+ forum.
