Adding Additional Camera into Sync 4

[RoverDude]

Soo, I am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to add an addition camera into the Sync 4 system.

I have a FE, so it already has the 4 cameras, but is it possible to add (1) one more, (somehow?), then active that extra camera with Forscan?
My goal is to have this extra “Bonus Camera” selectable via the touch screen, for all intents and purposes, be part of the Sync 4 system.
This would be an addition forward camera, I don't care how it comes up on the screen, AUX or Trailer, ect in the system.

Just like the other cameras, this “Bonus Camera” could be selected while driving.
I have look around and not found really much information pertaining to this, an help or insight would be GREAT! Or just pointing me in the right direction.

I added IR Pod lights to my truck. Then I removed the IR filter on a cheap old dash cam. I was really amazed by the results. It work much better then I thought it would. I would love to have that “Night Vision” on the 12” Screen.

Interesting question so bumping... there was a similar discussion here but no real conclusion, yet.

I would think that worst case scenario you could buy an identical camera as one in use elsewhere and T them off with a switch.

Interesting concept...adding a camera that looks at a car seat(s) in the second row could be amazing...

See this post for more of what I was thinking; very similar but maybe for different reasons. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...cam-front-and-rear-recorder.26896/post-937025

So I have been having conversations with XirallicBolts, and in theory made some progress.

I should be able to test something within a week.
I have been able with forscan to get the icon for AUX AND Trailer to show up as a source. But I never had an input there. Currently I believe you can only have 4 digital inputs with 2 analog/RF(RCA) inputs.
The 4 digital input are being used by the 360 camera, the analog input should/could still be available

My goal is to have
(1) camera for my infrared pod light, I did test and it work REALLY well, I just want that on the 12" display.

(2) Camera mounted on the bumper/rear on a spring/bendable attachment facing forward to see what I am about to hit/ clearance underneath.

Again, this is based on information based on a similar F150/250 setup.
In theory it could work.

Interesting, please keep us posted. I would like to do the same thing and can probably do myself after reading how.

Any news on this? I too would love to be able to hook up a extra cam to the system.

I have not made much progress. I don't have any documentation on the pinout for the IMPB. I don't know if this module is used in other vehicles (not that I found)
I have not tried to see if I could input this into the sync 4 module behind the screen. (For me , It's a lot of dash to take apart to test)

If anyone has any information wear a fifth AUX input would go, I'm all ears.

I'm very optimistic that it is possible though.
