You can DIY install a OEM camera.
Highly recommended parts
*FORD EXPLORER WIRING DIAGRAM SERVICE MANUAL ~$20.
Needed parts
*Buy a lift gate harness that has a camera. There are a few part numbers that work with different options like power liftgate w/camera, power liftgate wo/camera...etc. The manual lists the part numbers. I bought FB5T-14A58-GB4WA FA You might have to search portions of the part number and not the whole thing. The silver “GA”: was my old harness and yellow “FA” was the new harness.
*Rear liftgate camera and bezel EB5Z-19G490-A $~250 (camera only! you need the bezel too.) or car-part.com and call the junk yard and request the bezel be included. I recommend the junk yard option.
option 1 rearview mirror screen
buy rearview mirror with camera BU5Z-17700-L ~$800
Fordpartsgiant.com is the best to find the sub part number DB5Z-14334 that has the rear mirror camera example below , as the harness installed for me did not have the needed wires.
Option 2 for screen in dash
buy pigtail "WPT-1161 AU2Z-14S411-BC", others will work, this is just the one for the radio. So I knew it would work.
The main harness had the wires ran from the liftgate connection C494 and C935 up to the rear-view mirror and BCM.
This is connector C934. You need wires in pins 1 and 2. They run the BCM.
This is connector C935.
Look for wires:
Position, color, function
Pin 2, VT-BN, VPWR
Pin 6, GY-VT, LIN 3
Pin 8, WH-GN, Video +
Pin 7, BN-VT, Video –
Pin 9, BK, Shield
(3 and 4 are reference wires)
You can see I was missing wires for my original tailgate C935 connector below
The PIU's had rear view video in the rear view mirror because the laptop blocked the radio screen. You can buy the mirror and plug it in or you can get a pin and release the two wires from the connector in the A pillar and reroute them down to the radio.
This is connector C317. For the dash video, you need to pull out:
Position, color, function
Pin 2, BK, Shield
Pin 7, BN-VT, Video -
Pin 8, WH-GN, Video +
You will need a small pin connector to add it to the oem radio electrical block. Finding this part was hard. I called FLVP to see if he could tell me what the part number was but he said no. Even after i offered to pay him to provide me with nothing but a part number..... so for anyone who cares, buy a ford pigtail 3u2z14s411sa (Front control / Display interface module) It is 12 pins.
This will give you the length and correct pins to add to the factory radio block.
The shield I think I just ran to a ground as seen in the picture.
Add the WT-GN (video +) to pin 6 in the display connector.
Add BN-VT (video -) to Pin 12
Look for the plastic bar to figure out what one in + and -.
I might need to do a few edits, but the family is back and i need to go....
