Brucifer Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I have an '07 Edge SEL with back up sensors, navigation, and 6-CD capabilities. I believe the head unit is the same in the '07-'08 vehicles (Ford/Lincoln). Is there a unit that came with back up cameras built into the screen? I don't think there are, but I wanted to check with the thinktank here to double check. I know some units had a Phone button, but I'm not concerned with that as much as I am wanting a OEM camera. I'm still planning on the mirror version, but had to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Been discussed here before. 2007 head unit is not adaptable to incorporate a camera. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/1624-factory-nav-backup-camera-input/ There are still options such as an aftermarket head unit or wire it to a LCD rearview mirror. There is one other option: http://avelectronic.com/NavigationVideo%20Camera%20Interface.html Edited November 24, 2015 by enigma-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucifer Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I know the '07 head unit can't handle a camera unless you have it upgraded by avelectronics (which they do anymore for the '07). The real question was can the head unit be replaced with a newer model from either the Edge or MKX? Looking over EBay it seems that the mounting brackets change in '09. I also imagine that putting a THX head unit in without the THX amp is a waste of time, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
