you dont really want it on an aux switch.
I just ordered the Thinkware U1000 and it's on sale now until Sunday.They are on backorder and will arrive by May 21. I also went with the ODB cable as it's an easier instal. It has a switch on the front to turn it on/off which is nice if you're just going to have your vehicle parked in the garage for a few days there's no reason to video the wall. I don't leave my vehicles parked anywhere for extended periods so I didn't get the radar module or the iVolt battery but they're easy to add later if you need them.
I have a Blackvue 650GW 1-CH on my current vehicle, and I’ve had it for a few years on multiple vehicles. It’s been great and I still find it to be fantastic quality, even though it’s not a brand new camera. Sure, it’s not 4K but it’s still HD. Enjoy your Blackvue!I just purchased my first Bronco mod, is a camera a mod?, and it was the dr750x-2ch plus. It seemed like a good middle of the road option. I’ll let you know when I get’er in the mule.
This is easily what they should do from the factory
Give it time… I bet most manufacturers do, like some of the safety features we take for granted today. I would be shocked if this wasn’t mandated, like a back-up camera is.
Tried to order these cameras from my local Ford dealership today and they advised that they would not sell them to me because they have had too many problems with them in the past and the problem still hasn’t been fixed.It does not appear as though you can use the built-in 360 cameras at this point as a dash camera.
In the Bronco accessory catalog there are Ford dash cameras listed. They are the ones that you can already buy from ford for their other vehicles, which include integrated wiring harnesses for a clean plug-and-play install.
No idea how they intend to mount the rear camera considering the rear window is removable (and not always glass).
One could hope that an OTA update to Sync4 would enable the use of the 360 cameras for dash cam use... but I haven't heard of any plans for that (and you would have to solve the video storage issue... maybe with an attached USB drive of suitable speed.. but that's a pipe dream for me right now).
The breakdown of those are:
C - Front facing only
D - Front and Rear Facing
E - Front and Driver Facing
This Dongar Technologies adapter works. Listed on their site as working with the F-150. Installed today on my Bronco and it works great.Anyone know if this will work on the Bronco?

I've got the U1000 in my Mustang and really like it, I think its the best of the 4k dash cams. Only issue is the shape. It works fine in my Mustang, but I didn't like it in my wife's Explorer since the box around the mirror for the collision assist/rain sensor/etc makes it hard to fit. We run a Q800 in it since the tube style hides behind the mirror better.
Not a bad idea at all, although most dashcams that I'm looking at has a "Parking" mode which requires constant 12V from the battery. If I'm running that wire to the fusebox to a fuse-tap then I may as well run the ignition powered wire as well.
