Has anyone found out if it’s possible to install the 360 camera at a later date on a 2023 ST Explorer with the 360 camera credit option? All the physical cameras came installed on the exterior (or atleast all of the camera lenses in the places that the camera should be). If so, how difficult is it? Cost? Etc.? Would someone knowledgeable who has worked in car electronics in the past be able to do this? Thanks so much for any input

I will have to check when mine was built. I picked up mine early September and it has them.

I just checked mine, it has cameras in mirrors. The dealership took delivery of it on 9-18…I picked it up same day. Had the $500. 360 delete credit.
Possible to do the upgrade? Or is it a service issue with a software update?

not trying to hijack OPs post, just giving additional relevant info.
Thanks

I kind of wonder how come they can't just use one out of a premium Ford F-150 I have one of my King Ranch that works just fine

Any further info or possible solutions on this issue? I picked up a 2023 in March of this year with no 360 camera. However, I found a front camera in the front grille, but don't see cameras on the mirrors.

^ As another person in the thread mentioned it, that could be the denominator.
I don't know how that works out for you. On one hand, most of the "deleted" features I see, still have harnesses to connect units to and don't have a different wiring harness. On the other, I don't know what the mirror harnesses normally connect to.
It may be possible to gain the functionality by getting camera-populated mirrors and having the dealer turn the option on, but I couldn't say.

I had to go in to schedule a service appointment. I mentioned this all to the service rep. He saw I had the cameras in the mirrors and front gtille too. He said he would look into it and let me know when I return for the other repair.

I asked my service manager if there was a way to at least turn on the front camera since everything is there and he said no because the mirrors don’t have the cameras in them.
I said I don’t really care if it has 360 camera that I just wanted to add the button for the front camera only. Again he said it couldn’t be done. My build date is 11/23.

Mine does have the cameras in the mirrors. I'll have to ask the dealer.

You'll still need a module iirc.

There used to be a company that sold something called a "lockpick", that would enable camera features, but I dont think they have one for newer models
