Question:
Hi I was wondering if you could suggest a good backup camera I have a 2016 ford f250 xlt crew cab it has the self dimming mirror is there a kit with camera and a mirror I can buy like a plug and play Im sure theres pig tails on the wire harness to plug into for the factory one?? I dont see a kit from ford I dont want battery powered really or something I gotta put on and take down like a magnetic camera I was looking at the Hopkins hm5002 but I dont need rear sensors because my truck has the sensors built in already any input or direction you could steer me in would be helpful Thanks

Unfortunately, there isn't a system compatible with the factory auto dimming mirror from Ford. You can replace the factory mirror, but the wiring will still require running wires and you will unfortunately lose the factory functionality in order to upgrade. The system I recommend is the Rear View Safety G-Series Backup Camera System - Auto Dimming, # RVS-776718-D. Although this doesn't plug into your factory system, you will still have the auto-dimming available to you.

For the tailgate handle camera, I recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System for Ford F-150 and F-250 Pickup Trucks, # RVS-718-F150
