Front cameras

[TonyT930]

What front cameras are you guys using on an s550 and are they connected to the rear view mirror for power? If so, include the part number for the wire/jack. Thx

Their chart doesn't have your model year, but I use Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (16-pin Type A) for Ford Vehicles. Double check power connector on the mirror, it may be same. I use it with Vantrue E1Pro. I also have different Viofo dashcams in my other cars. I think both these brands are on top of their game.
P.S. There is also Mangoal brand for the mirror power adapter that lists Mustangs for 2015+, but i am not familiar with them.

Do you mean the 12 pin Dongar that fits the Toyota Tundra with auto dimming mirror?

I run a Wolfbox 900 Pro in my GT350 R and Bronco WIldtrak. 4K front camera and 2.5k rear camera with GPS integration. I use it for off-road recording and track days as well. Replaces your rear mirror. Can also be setup to do parking lot surveillance.

I plan to get one of these. Saw this on the GT500 forum a while back and bookmarked it. I have the large cover for all the lane departure stuff and they have a replacement cover with an integrated camera and it all plugs into the mirror. They also have the setup for non large cover kinda normal rear mirror.

Mangoal Dashcam

I'm running fitcamx, the install was easy and it doesn't create any extra clutter.

I think you sold on the Mangoal!! I was thinking that since I have a convertible, I can mount the rear camera on the front windshield, but just have it face towards the back. Meh, idk. I'll look at my car tomorrow and decide. And it appears that the Mangoal unit comes with the mirror power wire for my '17 just like you said!!

Bro this badass! I am looking into it now. How do you like it? And how was the install? In terms of easiness and how clean is it (wiring etc..)?

Can you keep the camera on while driving?

Video and still quality from the front camera is amazing. Rear camera at 2.5k is also really good. Hardest part of the install was finding a 12V hot source in the fuse block. Since most cars stay in accsy mode before 100% shut down, you either a) have to be patient or b) need to know which damn fuse is hot all the time.

Mirror has 3 cables / wires coming out of the top: Power, GPS and Rear Camera. I tucked them into the headliner, ran all 3 over to the driver's A-pillar, ran power and GPS down the a-pillar and rear camera wire under the headliner and back to the rear headliner. I have my rear camera mounted inside the cabin I don't use it for a backup camera, so the lines are turned off.

I just bought another last night (Black Friday sale) for my son's Edge ST.

One more note. The rear wolfbox camera on my Bronco started acting wonky. I contacted support and they had a new camera shipped to me within 24 hours. They keep stock with Amazon, so it's a pretty quick response. Not sure why that camera went bad, but that was almost 2 years ago and zero issues since.
