I am a new member and just picked up my 2012 Silver Raptor. It did not come with the front facing camera in the grill. Does anyone know if you can add it later through a local ford dealer? It was the only option that it did not come with and it would really be helpful if I had one. The grill has the mounting bracket for it but I don't see a wiring harness. Thanks

I don't think that this question has ever been asked before. Welcome to the forum and I am sure with a deep-enough pocket (like anything with these trucks) anything can be done! Would be nice with a plug-and-play install and a computer re-flash!

It is suppose to show up in my display under truck settings but it is missing that icon and is suppose to when enabled be able to view in the large display in the dash just like the rear camera as long as you are going less than 5mph.

If that's all it took... we'd all have front cameras!

(the plug and play part... my pockets aren't deep enough)

Under the hOod on the twelve raptor do you have an empty connector by where you front camera should go?

Yes. If there is putting on front cam might be easier then you think. If it doesnt Im assuming the wiring harness is on hood if you trace that wire harness back to its connection count the wires on each side. There might be chance the wires are already ran for the camera.
