Has Anyone Opened the '25 Pre-Collision Sensor Housing Yet?

[silliasaurus]

Has anyone cracked theirs open to see what changed from the '24's? Or have the service manual instructions to safely open it?

I want to see if Ford may have pre-ran the power for the auto-dimming rearview mirror there so I can power a dashcam off it. Also, just a bit curious what the heck they are hiding in the much larger right side enclosure.

Thank you!

I have a 23 that had an auto dim mirror. I purchased a homelink dimming mirror and the people that sold me the mirror made me a harness with an extra hot and ground. YOU WILL NEED A STEP DOWN DONGLE 12v to 5v for the dashcam (or at least I did). Other than that works perfectly on my 23. Also, if you massage the wires and connectors in that housing, you can tuck all the wires up behind that cover.

Opening it is careful use of a trim tool.

It's on there pretty good but I had some free time this weekend and opened it up. The additional part on the side is just a plastic holder for the cable. Pretty anticlimactic. I did get to cleanup the little defroster cables (I think) that were hanging out of it and annoying me.

Can't tell if a cable for the rearview mirror is preran or not, didn't have time or desire to tear apart the whole upper windshield trim to look. Big Bend /w Black Diamon Package for reference.
