Rear view

[Chief1301]

its a safety issue .... they dont want you taking your eyes that far off the road for long periods

Understood, is that a Federal DOT law now?Maybe Bronco will be different, considering the cameras are used off-road? One of the Broncos selling points is the camera views when off-road. I don't think camera views will be disabled for on-road goat modes? I've seen a video showing the 360 overhead view while driving.

Check this out. There's hope.

Its a GLOBAL law ..... every country around the world enforces it

Not sure but I think the 360 camera functionality is speed restricted .... again, not sure

I almost never use my rearview mirror. That's what side mirrors are for.

I once borrowed a car that didn't even have a rearview mirror and it took me two hours to notice.

ok, so far I've gotten 2 1/2 pages of NOTHING .... the question is: where to mount a rear view camera? if you can't make a suggestion or help please let this fkng thread DIE!

My boy Sammy will look out the back window for me and give me the “woof” all is clear!

^^^^^ Since the Bronco has not been released into the wild yet, and small companies have not been able to produce products for it, the following is only conjecture.

In some other world, that shall not be named, the center of the spare tire is a very popular place to mount the license plate and several companies have produced brackets to accomplish this. I personally use the bracket I have to mount the rear facing flood light. If you have noticed the Ford factory rear camera mount looks very dorky, if not just plain phallic. My best guess is these type brackets will be produced shortly, and it would be a place to mount your camera.

.... the question is: where to mount a rear view camera?

The spare you pictured has plenty of room in the wheel opening 'spokes'. Just have to be careful when you R&R the spare.

I agree with the OP. So many vehicles now come with the ability to have review camera vision on the review mirror.

On our road trips with the back of the Escalade packed with things all the way to the roof there is no visibility, so the rear view mirror camera is a really handy feature. Yes, I can use a side view mirror, but it doesn’t give you as much full visibility as a rear view mirror camera.

Yeah. I love the one on our Escalade. It’s HD and gives a fantastic view. It’s got to be dirt cheap to implement, I wish it was an option on the Bronco.

I realize it is not necessary to have a rear view mirror, for everyone chiming in with that comment.....but it is really nice to have. I would add one to the Bronco if I can figure a way to do it. I don’t think it can be mounted above the current camera, as then you couldn’t remove the spare. Someone will figure it out though...

You'll figure it out once you get your hands on your Bronco and can investigate all the possibilities.

All my cars didn't have any camera of any kind, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing.

Initially I thought above the spare was a good spot until I saw it in person ...... @Fly by Nite figured it out

THAT'S IT .... mount it behind the spare looking thru the spokes ....... that's the answer
.... EVERYTHING LOOKS SO EASY, ONCE YOUR GIVEN THE ANSWER!!

@Fly by Nite THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Now i can design my bracket!
