Does anyone here know if we're going to get access to the built in cameras(see pic) via APP in soon future?
I'm considering buying my own dashcam system if not.
Tesla owners have access to all cameras, and these starts recording if someone approaches to close etc.

Thanks!

I have been asking the same thing and thinking about getting a dashcam that gives me 360, plus activates when someone walks by my MME.

The cameras used by the MME are not in ideal locations, don’t have sufficient resolution, or are not oriented correctly, to act as a dashcam substitutes. Or to mimic Tesla’s sentry mode.

This has been repeatedly discussed here.

Yes, you will not be able to see faces with the camera positioning, which is completely different than Teslas. Not useful to record.

Go to an empty lot
Turn on the parking cameras (this is very easy now that ford has implemented the button in sync)
Have your friend walk around the car in a 360 degree circle and approach the car from various angles

Now, come back and tell me HONESTLY - is the camera system on the Mustang Mach E suitable for what you want to do? REALLY? And you’re sure you’re sober? Haven’t been indulging in any edibles? Perhaps some other party favors?

Tell the truth now guys, the Mach-e cameras are great at recording socks and shoes.

That’s not how the actual images look if you were just looking at the recording made by one of the cameras. I’m not sure why everyone keeps suggesting it, that’s not an accurate view of what the actual cameras see. I am not saying the camera angles aren’t bad for sentry mode, I’m just saying this “test” is pointless to determine that.

According to the MME vehicle engineering team, it is possible. Also, Ford partnered with ADT for this feature to rollout.

I'm not so sure the IPMA is able to export video files to USB. It would take 2-3+ years of software development at Ford's pace to even attempt something like that. Maybe the 2026 Mach-E will have video recording, but pretty sure Ford will charge a monthly subscription for it. It's not happening on our cars, Ford can barely handle rolling out a UI tweak right now.

And Jim Farley said on Twitter that I can go to my ford dealer if I want my frunk release “immediately”. I’ll be calling them on Monday. That will be amusing. Ford has issues with making statements to the trade press sometimes 😀

Well … he is correct. You can go there. They can update the modules for you. He said nothing about Ford paying for that or having a button in FordPass. :p :rolleyes:

More importantly, I expect my dealer service writer to respond with “what’s a ‘frunk’?”
