Backup camera
Has anyone installed a backup camera on their MMH or FEH? I picked up one of the VR3 wireless backup cameras off of e-bay pretty cheap and have decided to give it a shot. I think I am going to mount the camera to the underside of my hitch so it is more descrete. I believe I am going to mount the screen on it's pedestal on the flat portion of the time & temperature area on the dash. I will post pics up when I get it finished if anyone is interested.

This can all be done and is done all the time in units designed for it, but its very doubtful that the factory unit has any of this built into it... unless they intended to offer such a thing themselves.

It is the same. My 08 nav is dealer installed, and they mistakenly gave me the Navigator NAV supplement. It has the steering wheel controls, the mirror interface, bluetooth, back seat dvd controls, and a backup camera.

OK....That would definitely raise the chances something might be done. If its the same unit with the option just disabled, or without the camera, it might indeed be possible. The funny thing is if it were you'd think they'd offer the option. Hey as far as the ford is concerned it would essentialy be free money (engineering already done).... and thats something they need!

There was a posting that one of the "unused/unknown" pins on the back of the '07 and earlier Nav system, would accept a video camera. However, I don't remember the person making that claim, ever coming back with which pin it was.
