I'm curious about Ford's down dashcam for the Puma, which appears to interface with the Sync system.

Does anybody have it? Anybody know if it's any good?

I had one on my first puma , I wasn’t that impressed with the sync interface and the phone app wasn’t the best. I got mine for free but for the price I would say there are better ones available and cheaper.

The camera was ok (only front facing) and did as it says

I have had one in my puma since new. It had to be moved a couple of times as the shading below the mirror was showing in recordings but this means it is now somewhat conspicuous as it is midway between mirror and passenger door. It works but the current price is way more than I paid and I wouldn't buy at current price

Just a quick input on the dash cam. I've had my puma about 4 weeks. Wife drives mostly to work etc and wanted the ford dash cam. I first tried to order through the ford shop. 8th May. Two days later order cancelled and refund given due to them saying un compatible. Even when it clearly stated it was. After various emails. They accepted it was their mistake (catalogue error) and I reordered on 14th May to be fitted 26th at my dealership. Wed 24th I contacted ford shop (email only) to be make sure it at been sent to dealership. They tell me problem with their system and not sent. Advise me it would be sent out 25th to get their by 26th. Today 26th. Still not sent and they say ongoing problem with system and will let me know when it's sorted. I've had to cancel two oppointments now. I don't buy in to their system problems. I will be cancelling and asking for a refund.

See my earlier post regarding dash cams. Loads of choice and plenty with rear view also. Most are a straight forward DIY fit. Good luck.

Does it even intirgrate to the Sync3
I read that intigration to the Sync3 wasn't available in the UK??

Maybe it's changed but yeah you think they would design a Rear cam too

It does intergrate with Sync 3 but it was pretty basic , they might have updated it but only had it in my previous Puma
