    Torn on installing dash cam via mirror tap vs fuse

    Your arrows are correct that's where I ran it and yes the "end cap" on the dash where the AirBag symbol is was the spot I went into the under dash area. One of your pics shows arrows pointing to the gap at the base of the A pillar trim, I DID NOT use that path. I went from RVM area at center...

    Torn on installing dash cam via mirror tap vs fuse

    You don't have to pull the A pillar trim you can use a plastic trim tool and tuck the wire behind it. Mine is an OBDII tap and you see nothing, front and rear camera wires totally unseen. I thought about mirror tap as well but it was suggested to me that with the new vehicles the CANBUS...

    Do I need special lug nuts for the PIU rims?

    I figured it out, you guys have the new center cap design. I have the old one from CVPI. Your's are the correct ones for that wheel, mine are not.

    Do I need special lug nuts for the PIU rims?

    How did you get the center caps over the stock 21" Performance Wheel lug nuts? I had to buy the police wheel steel lug nuts at $5 each. Torque specs on the Police wheels were a little higher than retail I think it was 110 ft lbs

    Dashcam install (heavy pics)

    Thinkware uses micro USB on my Q800Pro I bought their OBDII power tap so no need to buy fuse taps, very clean easy to pull out if vehicle sold.

    Dashcam install (heavy pics)

    Great write up I did almost exact same install. For anyone looking at a F/R camera consider Thinkware Q800PRO. The entire Thinkware line up is good.

    Wi-Fi updates????

    Fair comment but........ It's not difficult to have a system that the owner predetermines downtime for updates. i.e. Windows 10 Update Program Windows asks the owner when the best times to do updates are and only does them and the subsequent reboot during those times so user experienced...

    Wi-Fi updates????

    I actually got to speak to some people in the know in Dearborn about this very topic as the OTA updating system in SYNC3 is a disaster. What I got back absolutely astounded me but makes sense as to how poorly executed this system is. Apparently the thought was no owner would want their vehicle...

    Inner Wheel Liner

    That's very odd as that felt liner material isn't easy to tear. Both sides same location? Any chance that happened when the winter tires went on?

    can I use the roof rack holes for a CB antenna mount?

    Antennas are a big part of the Police upfit, Ford Engineers have looked at the structures of the roof aluminum and supports. I would recommend you read through the Ford Police Interceptor Modifiers Guide before adding anything.

    400A vs 401A package... Confusion when building a 2022

    We are creatures of habit, anything we don't know how to use comfortably is often disregarded as useless. I felt the same then after multiple uses and a developed muscle memory it became second nature. I would suggest very shortly you wont get a choice it will be standard on new vehicles.
