I would suggest getting in contact with the people at blackboxmycar.com. That’s where I have gotten all my dashcams from for mine and my parents vehicles and the cus service is amazing and they can answer every question you have
Check out FITCAMX dash cameras , they mount to your rear view mirror stud and look factory. They power with either OBD connector or hardwired to the fuse box. They have front or front rear facing. I love mine.
Technically, almost all dash cams have the exact same CMOS and SoC combination, produced in a couple of factories in China, then subsequently incorporated in a variety of different models and makes at different prices. That includes the Thinkware models Ford will sell to you.
So if you feel handy, you can purchase a front-and-rear combination cam for 15-25% of the Ford price and install it yourself, secure in the knowledge that your installation is done to your own levels of performance expectation, and that your quality is no less. Almost no dashcam on the market uses a CMOS chip that is any more current than five-year-old technology.
Here are pictures of my camera set-up, which uses the exact same SoC and CMOS image sensor as the Thinkware model, branded as Ford.
The added bonus is that you have the opportunity to route the connective and power wiring to suit your own tastes.
And by purchasing an obviously cheap-o model, no one will want to steal it, but at the same time it is so obvious that you can point to it in an emergency and say, "I got it all on camera."
After doing research on dash cams I ended up buying the Viofo A139 Pro front & rear 4K dash cam with a 256GB Pro High Endurance SD card & had a reputable shop install it. Super clean install with no wires showing.
