Rearview Camera Display options

No the factory screen cannot be used for front cam as input is triggered via can bus when vehicle is put in reverse. The factory mirror with rear cam input is triggered via LIN (local interconnect network) Bus. The rear camera can be moved to 4.2" screen if the screen was properly programmed for camera input. The only alternative at this time is to use an aftermarket rear view mirror with two video inputs so one can be used for front cam and one for rear cam.
once demand is high enough some aftermarket company will figure out how to make a module that will enable rear cam input and possibly front cam as well.

Big Blue Flame!!!
The product just came out a month ago and our customers are very happy with the system. It's all plug and play and doesn't require any dealer programming at all. The instructions are simple to follow and our tailgate emblem camera system is the best you will find, even duplicating the factory parking guidelines in the display. It's a great add-on option and you will be happy with the end result! 3 year warranty on everything so you can relax knowing we stand behind what we sell.

You have to remove your screen and the part number is on the back. However, I will tell you that we have not found an F150 yet that is incompatible. We publish the numbers as a last minute sanity check before flashing the new program just in case you have something different for some reason. Best to get the kit, remove the screen, and check the numbers. In the unlikely event that you have a different part number than what is supported give us a call and we will have the engineer check it. If it's not compatible return it for a full refund.
All of the incompatible radio series are in cars and have not affected the F series.

Thanks!

I just wanted to let everyone know that's been wanting to see their rear camera image in the 4.2" screen in their '13's that it is possible. All that you need to do is either tap into the video feed wires to the mirror or run a wire from the mirror down to the display and reprogram the display using IDS or Forscan with the as built data from a '14 with the rear camera option. It's in this thread https://www.f150forum.com/f2/reverse...246026/index7/ See post #68. Just PM me if you have any questions.
