Aw crap..... Here he goes again (as if he ever stopped). Lol. You're going to cost me more money. I just spent a small fortune but I REALLY want 360 cameras. Lol.

I can't wait to see how it turns out.

lol..This was one of those things that was supposed to be finished before the headlights, wheels, etc. but I never had the free time. I got confirmation that I will be taking vacation next week - so break open the wallet, because it's finally going to be installed

Ouch $300+ just for the front camera! I guess I will have to live without it.

Since it has been well documented (at least in this thread) that I can't keep any secrets regarding my upcoming projects I thought I would share this...
Originally I purchased this camera switch to use in the install:



But having a truck that is equipped with Start/Stop technology I was perplexed as to how I was going to use it. I didn't want to disable the Start/Stop since as you know I'm all about factory options, but I didn't want to mount the new switch in a odd area (ie: in the cubby with the USB hub)

So this is my solution, It came from a 2017 F250 that looked like a Mack truck had ran into the side of it:


The only issue with this is I cannot enable all of the functions on the panel to work on my XLT. To correct this in my mind, my chosen solution is to marry the center panel components of my FCIM with this FCIM. I plan to disassemble both FCIMs and install my controls into this panel, then on the bottom I'm hoping to cut some plexiglass to fill the area where the heated & cooled seat buttons are now. If this works I'll paint the back of the plexiglass black so that it appears to be the same as the top piece that has the airbag info displayed.

Edit: This is not possible because the temperature **** has a clear piece of plastic preventing it from fitting in the New bezel. Guess I'll have to live with buttons that don't work on the bottom Sorry Goose, I'm gonna have to keep that button

Don't completely give up hope on your button yet...I'm on the prowl for another (CHEAP) XL / XLT FCIM that I can experiment with to see if I can make the temp **** work in the tight confines of the new bezel. If I'm successful, I gladly put that button in the mail with your name all over it
