I use the backup camera as my fourth verification method after three mirrors and my eyes. Its best feature is the wide-angle view. TBH, my rear sensors catch things before the camera (or my eyes) do.I have no real problem with the recalls — just means Ford keeps fixing my BS for free for as long as I own it.
Back up camera’s nice, but we’ve become way to dependent on tech. I backed up for @ 43 years (first car I had w/backup camera was 2007) without one. I actually didn’t trust the camera for the first year I had it; kept looking to see if it was “right”.
That “swivel joint” at the top of our shoulders is among the best “cameras” I've found, you can see things along-side and behind with mirrors and head turning.
Just my 2¢ worth
How have you been liking the Wolfbox? I'm looking at the same one (front & rear). Is it permanently mounted, or did you use the straps?The grocery store parking lot is the place I find the backup camera and object detection to be the most helpful. Example: Impatient drivers zipping past while you are backing up and small children walking behind the vehicle, which with a high lift gate you are likely not going to see.
Even with the OEM backup camera, I replaced the OEM mirror with a WolfBox mirror dash camera with a rear camera so I have evidence for my own protection.
SYNC 3.2 was released in mid 2017 and updated through 2018.
I've had a G850 hardwired in my '10 Mustang since December 2022. I used the straps in order to keep the OEM mirror which has the microphone for phone calls. Wolfbox sent me a replacement G850 mirror when I reported the compass would incorrectly report NE heading when traveling in the NW direction. They eventually fixed the compass heading problem in a firmware update. It's been working great, even in the Florida hot tropical sun.
Great info, thanks!
That is why I always back into parking spaces, and my driveway, you always have the birds eye view of your surroundings, plus it is illegal to back onto a roadway.The grocery store parking lot is the place I find the backup camera and object detection to be the most helpful.

That works if the parking lot has perpendicular parking spaces. Most malls and grocery stores where I am have angled parking spaces to maximize density since the lanes do not have to be wide enough to allow two way traffic, but that does not prevent some idiots from traveling the wrong way. I'll just sit there blocking their path and make them backup and turn around to teach them a lesson.
