4D Tech CANopener

Saw that @Svtweb used 4d tech for getting his OEM ambient lighting project finished up. So, i started looking around their site and found this 4D Tech, Inc. | Ford Navigation Upgrade Kits and Accessories. Looks like a viable option over nav tv / lockpick etc. But I'm wondering if anyone has gone this route and if so, what there experience has been. Maybe @The Car Stereo Company has some input on this...

Interesting...

I like the name

Like what they did with the phone button and looks like more features than the flaky Nav-TV. I cannot tell though if it works with the factory front camera as that is why most get the Nav-TV.

wont work on the front camera. nav-tv has that under protection. but it seems it will work with all other features

Yea I reached out to them earlier today. Going to see what they say...not a bad price for dual cameras either. I like how they were able to reprogram mft to work with the oem ambient kit

I have a NAV-TV unit in my desk drawer waiting to go on, otherwise I'd consider this.

Have you actually installed one already to see?

After reading the website it looks to me like the CANopener can handle the front camera. Hopefully someone will be the guinea pig for it!

nav-tv copy protected their software so any company saying they can over ride the front camera can be held liable in court. also reading the info, it does not mention the oem front camera. you can add a second camera for the front though.
