New guy here, just joined the forum. Just got a 2025 Tradesman Power Wagon and I'm wanting the same thing. Even the base XL F-250 with the small screen comes with 360 cameras. I have the regular wolf box on my Mercedes Sprinter van I work out of, it works great. This may be a good answer, but I would also like a good way to integrate it into the massive screen thats already in the dash. Your setup looks good man, nice work.

That looks great! I also see you’re another Ohio guy too! How did you get the camera attached to your grill? I’m about to purchase and really like your clean install

Thanks!
Im a recent transplant to Ohio, but unless something insane happens I’m not moving again.
As for the front camera, I just used some small screws and screwed the mounting plate right to the grill.

Easy and straightforward enough. I appreciate the info

I probably should have asked you a couple weeks ago but do you have a tradesman wagon or bougie wagon? I have electronics in my rearview mirror and I don’t know if this would work how you installed it in mine

This is what I have. Look up dash cam install HD rams on google. It works much better than the search in the forum does (at least for me) and it should point you in the right direction if you need more

try to figure how to wire a single, up front dash cam, Are you saying it can be powered off the cosole that has the digital rearview mirror atached to it on the top centre windshield? thanks

Sorry, just saw this. It's a tradesman PW. What electronics are in your rear view mirror? I did something similar to this with my Wrangler I had before this truck and It was actually easier in one important way. I was able to use the 12v +, ign +, and ground connector that was going to the auto dimming mirror to power my wolfbox in the Jeep.

Mine is the auto dimming mirror. Is there a way to cleanly tap into those on the 2500’s?
