OEM Ford Bronco Full Display rearview mirror, option?

[mcinfantry]

I mounted my camera on the roll bar so I can take the top off still (it’s not waterproof)

Unlike my Land Rover, I don’t believe the Ford version can also be toggled on/off to be a “typical” rear view mirror - it’s always a screen.

You guys say you want this but aren't realizing what you have to deal with as well. I installed the Wolfbox G900 pro a couple months ago. The wide angle view is awesome, helps big time with blind spots. The downside (which I'm sure the Ford one has as well) is, when it rains, water sits on the camera (road spray, rain, whatever) making it unusable. Driving in the dark, big time halo/glare from headlights, making it near impossible to gage distance behind you, even worse if camera is wet.

On the flip side, I love my Wolfbox, have camera installed behind my spare and looking at ways to deflect water (road spray) away from it. No more blind spots. Currently have a '21 with a soft top (can't see out rear window due to fine scratches) with the JBL soundbar, so my rear view was very limited to begin with. For what mine does, I'll gladly trade off the 2 issues that come with these digital rearview mirrors. They are in no way perfect, and I imagine Ford's version won't be anything better, even at twice the price of the aftermarket versions.

Happy to know you like the product. Rain-X can help with droplets.

I've gone the Rain-X route. Unfortunately didn't help much. Eventually I'll design some sort of shield and see how that works out. Otherwise though, big improvement from what I had.

Any chance of integrating the camera into the new oem brake light lens?

If you look at how the camera lens is mounted you can see a series of recessed "pockets" surrounding the camera as well as the camera lens being recessed as well. I'm going to go ahead and assume all this is to eliminate/minimize obstruction from water/dirt collecting on the lens itself

Why wait for this version from Ford when you can already purchase a much better set up from WolfBox. Their new G900 Tri Pro will far out perform the Ford version and you can get it right now!

Because i want it integrated in a factory looking bracket and placement. I just flat out trust fords camera to have less glare, dirt, and water droplets. I would be open to using the wolfbox mirror and other parts if they can utilize oem lense and placement of the camera. Take my money

That I can understand, provide of course that it is indeed as good as it should be. Time will tell...

You can replace it as long as our cam can fit into the space of oem brake light lens.

No shit?

Digital mirrors are fantastic, and I’m glad they are finally an option. I have a 2021 Badlands soft top, and the OEM mirror was useless when the top was down. I got the Brandmotion Clear View mirror, and it’s great now. No backlight issues at night either. Wolfbox has a great setup too.

 

[thegoatman]

Looks unlikely unless the camera box is redesigned. Probably too much work for these guys for it to be worth it and package it with a new lens.

I like the way the cam is inside the brake light. That is a nice setup. I would like to do something similar with my wolfbox, because with the raptor, I cannot mount the cam inside like I did in the Badlands.

Bumping this up in hopes someone can get more info to us. In love with OEM integration, wanting to (hopefully) be able to add this to my base along with the lighted/homelink vanity mirrors and factory upfitters
