Forward camera on Ford My Touch

[millerd79]

I am lowering my car very soon. I do not want to scrape my bumper.

Has anyone figured out a way to add a forward facing camera that will work with ford my touch system?

Any suggestions or ideas?

Lock pick device will do this

What is that?


I don't know of a camera but that would be nice. I've heard of factory systems on other vehicles that will auto-sense when you are getting close to an object curb/car and it will auto switch the display to a front facing camera. That would be perfect because you know you could trust it.

On my 2010, I used a "Curb Alert" http://www.curb-alert.com/
This was pretty good but seemed to work about 90% of the time which could give you a false sense of security. It wouldn't work on angled parking curbs for obvious reason and sometimes randomly just wouldn't alert.

American Muscle also sells one http://www.americanmuscle.com/curb-alert-sensor.html. Not sure if it's aany ber/worse or maybe even the same one.

I don't think it even needs to be automatic. I figured I would just flick a switch and the camera would come on.

I googled a bit and figured out what "Lock Pick" is...they don't show support for 15+ Mustangs but I sent them an email. If they email me back with a solution I will post the info.

Looks like the "Curb Alert" has a pro option that comes with a camera. Now the questions is how do I hook it up to the existing screen in our cars or stream to my cell phone...the search continues.

Remove the camera from the trunk lid, extend wire and place on front bumper...

Does anyone know if we have A/V input jacks behind our radios?

On my 2015 F-250 with my ford touch I was able to just splice in and use a toggle switch and relay and add a second in bed camera. Has to be an NTSC camera but u can buy and aftermarket "reverse camera" I'll try and find my wore diagram I used it was very simple

I know its been awhile for this thread, but a company called Brandmotion makes a dual camera adapter (kit 9002-2781) that would allow you to add another camera such as one for the front. Its a bit pricey @ ~$300 just for the adapter so I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but thinking about it.
