Ford Lightning Dash Camera Guide

At Safe Drive Solutions - Dash Cam Specialists, we’re excited to share insights on installing dash cameras in the latest Ford Lightning trucks. Whether you're looking to enhance your vehicle’s safety or capture clear video evidence on the road, installing a dash cam is a smart investment. This guide walks you through the key components and wiring essentials for the Ford Lightning, with references to our detailed wiring videos for Ford F-150 models from 2015 through 2024.

Locating the Viofo A229 Plus Dash Cam

The Viofo A229 Plus dash cam is a standout choice for its advanced dual-camera setup and Sony STARVIS 2 image sensor, delivering sharp 2K Quad HD recording for both front and rear views. For the Ford Lightning, we typically mount this dash cam discreetly behind the rearview mirror. This location keeps the camera out of sight but ensures a clear, unobstructed view of the road ahead.

Rear Camera Installation on the Rear Window

To complement the front-facing camera, the rear camera is mounted on the rear window. This setup captures everything happening behind your vehicle, providing a complete picture of your surroundings. Proper mounting on the rear window helps avoid obstructions and ensures optimal video clarity.

Fuse Box Wiring and Using Fuse Taps

One critical aspect of a clean and reliable dash cam installation is wiring. For the Ford Lightning, we access the fuse box to tap into the vehicle’s power supply safely. Using fuse taps allows us to connect the dash cam’s hardwire cable without cutting or splicing factory wiring, preserving the integrity of your vehicle’s electrical system.

Both fuse taps are installed securely in the fuse box, ensuring stable power delivery to the dash cam. This method also supports features like parking mode, which requires constant power even when the ignition is off.

For those interested in the full wiring process for Ford F-150 trucks from 2015 to 2024, we have a comprehensive video available on our YouTube channel. Feel free to reach out if you want us to share the direct link or need assistance with your specific vehicle model.
