Adding a front camera

[Fordmandan87]

I have a reverse camera kit for my 05 f150 that I never got around to installing and after seeing how cool a forward facing camera can be offroad I was curious if there was a way to activate an rca plug camera feed into the radio to display like the actual reverse camera?

I noticed FORScan had an option to enable a forward camera. @RCMUSTANG seems to be pretty good at digging up add-in modules, maybe he would have an idea where to find one for that?

Some of the F150 guys have used this vendors module with success. It looks a bit spendy but appears OEM quality..

So, on some quick research I found this and getting my own camera would be cheaper than the other one Washashore listed.

Have you done this on the Ranger?
If so, what was it like?
I've seen one guy on Youtube do it to his F-150.

I have one that was supposed to be delivered today but they didn't leave the package ...

I hope you get your package soon.
On the F-150 install, there was a huge amount of space behind the Sync screen/head unit in which the guy stored the box in the kit after completing the wiring.
I'm thinking with the Ranger there won't be so much room.

See my build thread as I installed the module.

Do you have a link to your build?

The hardest part if running the wire into the cab.

LOL...tearing the dash apart would be my pick...

It's pretty easy.
