Reverse Camera HELP!

I have an 08 Limited F-150 that does NOT have a factory reverse camera. I would like to install a camera that I can hook up through the factory navigation screen. I have done some looking, but can't come up with too much....if anyone could give me some info/links, it would be VERY appreciated!

I would prefer just a cheap aftermarket camera that attaches to the license plate, but if I could find a tailgate handle or Ford emblem cam for cheap, I would go with that!

I dont think the factory NAV in the 07-08's is cabable of having the rear view image show up on the screen without some serious modification or aftermarket pieces. Have you looked into Lockpick ?

Lockpick makes one, the 360-2. I'm considering this for my '08 F150 KR.

I just installed one this past weekend. It took most if the day but works very well. It does though require the disassembly of the nav radio.

Bob, I notice you installed a new nav system, what I am looking for is the lead that activates the vedio on the nav. I know when you place gear in revearse it comes on, what I want to do is tie a switch in line in order to turn on the back cam. I have added a cam behind 5th wheel and it works great while backing up but would like to be able to turn it on by switch. Do you know what lead does this?? roger
