Ford Accessories is the last place I would think of shopping for a dashcam and a Ford Dealer is the last place I would think of having a dashcam installed.

The only reason I had them install and ordered from was because I wanted it hard wired and didn’t want to void any warranty. But your trolling is noted.

You can buy a quality dashcam with exactly the features you want at a great price on Amazon and if your not handy any audio installer will install it, hard wired. Zero chance of your warranty being 'voided'.

It is crazy to me that dashcams are not an OEM factory option. Crazy.

id be willing to bet it is a legality issue on them being a factory option.

Come to find out, THE CAMERA DOESNT HAVE WIFI CAPABILITY even though the description on the @Ford Motor Company website CLEARLY states that you can “Configure dashcam settings with easy to use software” and the photo shown is a Thinkware Q200. The model I got was a Thinkware F70. Now the Thinkware F70 Pro has the connectivity to the app and sells on Amazon for $80.

So,

It said on the box. ‘WI-FI’ capable ?
You didn’t say that in your post OP

Personally I wouldn’t blame Ford.
Correct me if I’m wrong but,,,
Was It Indicated on the box ?

Or did you make a mistake ?

A bit of a pathetic rant for sure.
Use Amazon and whine to them.

What's this Ford dash cam look like?

 

[oysterville]

Works as advertised. OP clearly made assumptions based on functionality instead of seeking out an online owner's manual prior to purchase.

Some lessons are best learned through pain, or else you can just blame Ford for it. Yeah, just blame Ford.

Whelp, lesson learned.
