Just bought 2 15 pass vans & dealer was supposed to install factory rear vision camera. looks like the just added an aftermarket with the viewing screen hanging from rear view mirror.

If you have a factory, where is your monitor?

Depends on the stereo options. If you have the 4.2" LCD above a CD player, it should be there. If not, it would be in the rear view mirror.

If it was added aftermarket, it would be pretty obvious.

It is aftermarket. Dealer states there is not an option for camera in rear view mirror on a 2015. I just need to know if he is lying.

Does anyone have one in a rear view mirror on a 2015?

I test drove a '15 XLT that had one like that. I didn't take a photo, but there was a screen hanging down from the mirror. I sort of assumed that it was aftermarket, but the camera was the OEM-style in the rear door.

That's how this one is, hanging from Mirror.

The base-model cargo vans I test-drove (in Nov '15, don't know if they were '15 or '16 models) had the screen actually inside the rearview mirror, at the left end. Really sharp, clear image.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure it was someone here who mentioned they got a cargo van with NO windows, not even in the rear doors, and they still got a rearview mirror because that's the screen for the backup cam.

My 350 has no windows and has the camera in the mirror. It's factory installed.

For those with a true factory-installed camera, does it stay on all the time or is there a switch to turn it on so it stays on all the time?

 

[RandomJoe]

No, factory setup is only on when in reverse. Someone recently posted a mod to the screen in the rearview mirror to keep it on, but the screens in the radios apparently get their signals over the CAN bus.

That means I'll have to get an aftermarket one since the rear conversion will block the outside view.
