Bought A New Truck 2010 Lariat SCREW

My check engine light came on last week for my 2007 F150 XLT Screw w/ 58k on the odometer. I knew it was the electronic throttle body failing as it was replaced once before with the same symptoms. As they were repairing it, I ended up buying a 2010 F150 Lariat in Oxford White.

I have added the following so far:
Line-X spray in liner
Changed the interior bulbs to LED
Replaced the stock speakers w/ Infinity Kappa 682.9cf
Purchased a V1 radar detector

I do have a question that a search of the forum was not able to answer; Is it possible to purchase a plug and play reverse sensor system?

Thanks

The obligatory pictures:

I haven't heard of anyone being able to add the reverse-sensing system after the fact. However, I have one and find it useless since I have the rear-view backup camera; that thing is priceless. Skip the sensors and get the rear view camera.

I thought the sensors were included with the Lariat package? Maybe not, mine as the camera and sensors, the best of both worlds.

I think that system only comes with the Lariat Plus Package. Mine has both too, and it makes a big difference. I wasn't sure I would like the camera, but I use it all the time.

I would upgrade the headunit. The factory one will not push those infinitys to their potential. Bass will sound like s*#%

I have not. I am keen to the factory look. How would one go about improving sound w/o replacing the head unit?

After going through some 'Vette forums, I found a gentleman who makes a custom mount for the V1. $33 shipped rather than the $90 for the blendmount:




Also purchased a decal from Patriot:

Not a bad deal. I got the BlendMount and Invisicord for $90 shipped. Does your guy do the mount for the Escort? Mounts on the rearview mirror stem? In your pic is appears that it doesn't sit flush with the front of the mirror.
