Question - Signal Mirror Cameras

[Yonder_MN]

Does anyone know if the cameras in the side mirror can be activated when driving and the turn signal is turned on? I’ve seen this in other manufactures like Honda and it would be a nice feature.

No - there would need to be major software integration to show the camera feed on one of the screens when signaling - also the side camera point down and not really to the blind spot so not sure how useful it will be as the side cameras aren’t position for blind spot viewing, they’re positioned for 360 parking

The side view mirrors should have blind spot detection in them though?

Good point in looking at the mirror and using the blind spot detection system.

Yes, for my Raptor there is a setting for that in the Mirror settings but it may only be enabled when towing.

The side cameras actually does point to the blind spot. The 360 view is just how the software stitches the images together. For some reason Ford decided to only allow viewing the side camera view when the truck is hooked up to a trailer. No one has been able to enable it without a trailer using Forscan as far as I know. Someone linked a device in this thread that can be used to trick the truck into thinking it has a trailer:

I'll take a peek and see if that will do what I was looking for when I get the new vehicle! Thanks

Finally had a trailer around to try out the mirrors cameras and it does a nice job. Yes, only had to have a trailer plugged in to have that work!

Now to figure out the trailer backup wheel setup!
