AVIC F90BT install done and other stuff

[Mark Stadnicki]

I finally finshed the camera hook up; found the rattle in the console (Ford just shoved remote start box in console), moved remote start antenna to windshield, better range now; some pics are repeats... Plus I got to fix the airbag light trim, looks like it got caught on something, not flush.

Day camera view, right now it's about 1' from the bumper, I have back-up sensors but I'm still going to adjust it down some more.

Camera at night- works realy well in low light!

this is where the dealer shoved the remote start box that rattled.

Good Job, looks nice. I might have to look into getting a camera....HHHmmmmmm, more $ to spend on the ST....

Great work... Thanks for sharing...

Looks good. Tell me about your rear view camera, is that the factory tailgate handle trim? Did you do the rear view cam cut-out or did you buy a tailgate handle trim that already had it integrated?

 

[Mark Stadnicki]

I used the factory handle, there is plenty of room using the Pioneer camera. I don't remove my tailgate so I wasn't to concerned about the wire. I might add a disconnect to it later, just in case.

How do you like the AVIC F90BT? I'm leaning towards that one as a replacement but have read that the start up times take 30-45 secs. even with the ver 2 firmware and the voice command is basically worthless. Thoughts or opinions? Are there any comparable Kenwood, Clarion, or Alpine products that offer similar features for the price?



Thanks for any help!
