Footage of the 360 camera view with winch!

[buzpro]

Hmmm, then what is considered the trail camera? And on my F150 the 360 "drone" view is made from stitching together the front camera, rear camera and the two cameras in the side mirrors

personally, i want to have a better view under the car and between the tires

That isnt so bad i guess lol. You can technically still see the road!

Not bad???? That's useless. The point of a front camera is to see over a hill you're cresting or the edge of a mountain shelf road of 11k out here in CO.

Well, I've installed 360 degree/front facing cameras on both my f150 and wife's grand Cherokee, so it appears I'll at least be relocating the front camera elsewhere and I may even add 1 or 2 undercarriage cameras where I can switch between views.

Ford needs to come up with a better view for the front camera with a winch. This isn't a good enough view.

Underneath where you can see tire placement would be better. [but hard to keep clean]

I just find it hard to believe that with Ford looking to target the off roaders, that the missed the #1 tool that off roaders use.

Maybe they thought we wouldn't notice

At this price range (an optioned out BD and UP), we should be getting a camera like the Defender!! WTF Ford?

Beautiful, huh? Maybe with the latest Sync4 and OTA updates, something like that can become available down the road.Except this vid doesn't show the 3D view.... That's the one I'm talking about.

I mean, you’re sticking accessories onto the front of the car, you can’t expect them to engineer for every scenario. Maybe aftermarket bumpers will offer a better solution that won’t obstruct.

For FACTORY available stuff - YES I can expect them to engineer for it.

Besides, Jeep figured it out.

is the solenoid the thing on the top?

if so if you look closely at the image , that wont be enough. You would recover some of the view but the problem here is the winch is sticking out from the bumper itself , not really that its too "high up" in front of the camera

If you removed the top part it would still be too long and cover the trail in front of you

I've been saying this since I saw the angle of the camera at super cel east. Moving the solenoid won't improve the view much at all. The only fix for this is to relocate the camera, or get a new bumper that puts the bumper closer to the vehicle.

Relocate it left or right, little higher. Does it really need to be dead center? That controller box on top of the winch can be relocated also.

What you guys aren't considering is that there is the top of the bull bar right on the other side of that solenoid package that will also be blocking the camera as soon as you remove the solenoid. As I said, this is extremely broken.

Im thinking a quick connect plug with extension harness and additional camera mounted under the bullbar tube. When removing the winch, just disconnect the camera, winch wiring, unbolt the winch mount and reconnect grill camera.

What is more concerning for me is how several potential buyers have been asking Ford staff to see the camera view with winch attached. We always got the same run around. It took Justin, an independent review, to finally get what we needed. What else is being hidden? I guess the story can also be these issues will be fixed in MY22. Nice!
