peet Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I've read what I think are all the threads and as of yet have not seen anyone do the 2010. Did the NAV change in 2010 or is it the same as 2009? Please no guessing! Second, I read a thread that we have pin inputs for camera that essentially just need a plug adapter to connect to the camera itself. I much prefer this over hacking the screen ribbon cable (frankly while creative, that's butchery). So does the 2010 allow this unused cable block to be used for cameras? Lastly, how does one program the NAV to recognize that a camera is attached when it finally is? Thanks everyone, I look forward to tinkering with this very soon!

wil Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Peet - you read my mind. Ofcourse I'd like to do more than that. I haven't taken delivery of my Edge but I'm doing research on things I'd like to change about it. I came across this unit on ebay - has anyone used it or heard of it yet?? Reading the description it seems you could add a backup camera without butchering the ribbon - good call - I wouldn't want to try that either! I'd love to enable the screen to watch DVD's while in motion and before I get slammed - I mean for my passengers - I don't mean for the driver as this would obviously pose a great theat. http://cgi.ebay.com/2009-10-FORD-F150-TRUCK-NAVIGATION-DVD-RADIO-UNLOCK_W0QQitemZ180455939778QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Audio_In_Dash_Receivers?hash=item2a04031ec2 Let me know - Here's video I found,... http://www.coastaletech.com/synclockpick.htm Looks pretty awesome! And no cut wires is a plus! Edited January 15, 2010 by wil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peet Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 WOW, a rip off in play! $255 on ebay or $239 directly from Coastal. http://www.coastaletech.com/synclockpick.htm So here's my take. If I dont care about all the additional features, how can I attach just the camera? Also - anyone have a PDF of the installation manual? Issue I have with these "hack" solutions is that they usually go inline in the flat ribbon cable from screen to core processor/dvd/nav unit. I really think that's sloppy especially if the 2009-2010 units should take a camera input without fuss or hacking. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 might try Sam at http://www.avelectronic.com/, I know they have stuff for 2009, but not listed, so might have a 2010 option.. maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
