@boggle Smart move. I never tow so when I bought my Lightning I didn’t care about the tow tech package, not realizing that that was the only way to get the 360 cameras. Lesson learned.
Though I will say I really enjoy this kind of stuff. Researching all this kinda became a hobby of mine.
I recently successfully installed the 360 cameras and front parking sensors on my 2023 Pro ER. As a simple way of giving back to this awesome community, I put together a Lightning-specific write-up in hopes that it will help others. You can find the write-up here:
F150 Lightning 360 Camera +...
Followed the guide created a few years back on the ICE F150 forum, then made changes accordingly for the Lightning. Still working on the Lightning-specific write up. Will post it here on the forum soon when it's finished.
I agree with what @B177y said now that you know you don't have the wiring going from C134.
If you want to make it even easier I would just buy a pre-made wiring harness from @Jesse-Infotainment that runs directly from the CCM to the IPMA. That's what I did for this mod.
Yes, you could do that to check if your existing bumper harness has the connector for the CCM. That's a good point.
You likely have the needed wires going from C134 to C265, but that's what you'd also want to verify. If you do have those wires but not the connector for the CCM, then you'll...
You'll need to remove the little plastic cover over the wires. Its just a zip tie holding it on though. Pics attached, for example.
You do you, but buying a whole new harness will be more expensive and more work than creating your own.
Not the bumper, but you would need to remove the frunk and the front trim piece that contains the front parking sensors. You can see C134 easily without touching the bumper.
EDIT: I'm not thinking. The front parking sensors are in the bumper, which makes it even easier. Just that front trim...
@primer Got it. Since you have the parking sensors, then there is a chance your existing bumper harness (with C134 on the end) already has a plug for the CCM/Radar, but isn't being used. All that to say, you might only need the CCM, bracket, and screws.
Someone that has installed the ACC/LKA...
@primer It looks like you have the correct wiring preinstalled. If you really want to be safe then check the wiring at C242B at the IPMA (driver side footwell). It's quick and easy to check the wiring there.
And just curious, I'm assuming you have the tow tech package? (front parking sensors +...
I just added ACC/LKA to my Pro this past weekend. Haven’t really had a chance to try it out to see how I like the lane centering. I know some just add a one pound wrist weight to the steering wheel to trick it, but that kinda scares me from a liability standpoint. I’ll try turning the lane...
