Bought a Bronco a while ago but I still have my 2011 Limited. Wheels are curbed to heck and tires are ready for a replacement. Gonna give this car to my kid who got her learner's permit. She grew up in the car and I want to keep her safe. Looking for rim and tire recommendations that would keep her safe in normal driving, light snow and just reliability. My 21's leak constantly so I keep an air compressor in the car. Looking for options for rim size and a quality AT tire to keep her from sliding into a ditch.
Hello everyone,
I’ve been following this thread with a lot of interest — great work from all of you digging into the 360 retrofit! I’ve been wanting to achieve a similar result, but I decided to take a different approach.
I went with a third-party 360 AVM kit and set it up to integrate with the SYNC screen on my 2023 Ford Edge. There really isn’t anything compatible out of the box with the Edge, but I noticed the Edge and Ranger share similar hardware and modules. And notice I said similar — not the same.
It’s been a long process — I’ve done tons of research and a fair amount of trial and error to figure out the video inputs, CANBUS integration, and DIP switch configurations needed to get everything displaying correctly with the factory screen and triggers.
With this I do have dynamic guidelines, parking sensors, multiple views along with the top-down bird view. Also I did retain the factory camera and camera view, and I can jump between factory view and 360 kit view.
It’s still a work in progress, but going this route gives me more flexibility compared to being locked into the OEM restrictions. I’ll share more updates as I continue refining the setup.
Next steps will be to mount all the cameras
Yes a seal, but I'm not messing with it without a backup. They say you should replace the bolts too if removed (It's a kit with plug and blots). I'm still under warranty, so no matter what I'm good with pulling half of it every 10k and leave it be. Why they couldn't put a drain plug in it...frigging cost savings.
Hi. I finally got round to testing the battery with the tester you recommended. I have a photo of the result. I guess this means it is good? Any further ideas? Now that there is no hot weather there is no way to recreate the conditions to check if any solutions work; which is annoying.
No, mine does not have a cooler. There is a plug where the cooler would go. I tried finding a spare plug but it's often an unavailable part and it's close to $70 if you can find it. I'm not pulling it without a spare incase there is an issue with it.
