I finally wrapped up the full camera system install on my Edge.
Front Camera
I swapped out the factory grille for a black one that already had the camera mount integrated. Definitely the cleanest way to do it — no drilling and a perfect OEM-style fit.
Side Cameras
The side mirrors were straightforward. Routing the wiring and lining up the cameras was easy. Just a bunch of plastics to remove.
Rear Camera
This one took the most work. Like I mentioned in my previous post I wanted to retain the factory camera and system, and just add the new camera for the 360 view. I had to get creative. I decided to embed the camera in the logo. Marked and dremel’d out a custom recess behind the Ford emblem. Mounted the camera flush and secured it internally. Ran the wiring through the hatch. Calibrated the image afterward so the lines lined up correctly
Honestly, this was the toughest part, but I’m happy with how the end result looks.
I think I could have done a better job, or maybe could have thought of something else. But also I really wanted to finish the project.
I think I'm going to redo the calibration after the holidays to get a better results but overall it's good.
If anyone has ideas for cleaner mounting, I’m all ears.
