Has anyone installed a front camera? How hard would it be to get it connected to the display?

My wife is shorter, the driveway angle isn't extreme but it's just enough she can't see very well to get into the garage. I saw a few F150 yesterday with camera in the front, that may help. But how much work would it be to integrate into the Maverick Sync display??

-I assume I'd have to get a switch connected to trigger it turning on? or select from a menu if the system recognizes it?
-or would I need to switch Sync modules to one from a Bronco/ F150 that has the front camera option?
-rearview cam on a license plate bracket could work too but I don't care to clutter things with another screen.

You can buy a rear view mirror back up camera on Amazon. It’ll replace your old rear view mirror with a digital screen. and you can install multiple cameras on it.

Thanks, I thought about that but the screen would be too small for what we need.

I got a rear license plate frame camera from Costco and placed it on the front plate. It’s not the best but works for me.

This is a wireless camera that can be mounted on the front of the vehicle. It has a 150-degree viewing angle and includes a 4.3-inch monitor that can be installed on the dashboard or rearview mirror.

I like this idea.
Where did you mount the monitor?
A photo if possible.

Would that screen fit in the little cubby next to the current screen in the Mav?
