I totally agree with you, it's just my opinion.

keep us updated if you ever get this on your car.

The CANopener has to be dong stuff that we should be able to do with FORScan. Just need to find what block it is changing.

Also, I would be VERY careful of using the CANopener if you are tuned at all. Play it safe and uninstall any tune before trying this.

Someone already figured out what to change in FORSCAN. There is a thread on it, just had to figure out the wiring.

Got a link? The harness is only $50!!

[MENTION=17]CarGuy[/MENTION] Can you share how to activate the rear camera with Forscan?

 

[CanadianGuy]

I have received this response from the 4DTech team concerning if it works.

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, the Ford Camera Programmer will work for your Fiesta. I did not come up in your search because it is a brand new product and has not been associated with any vehicles in our search function yet.

The harness is a nice quick install for the car to have the video in. I have ordered the cable for the FORScan if that works out the harness would be the only extra I need to purchase. Else I get the programming module they have.

I may just pick up this harness too. I haven't been able to work on this project for a few months now.

Well just ordered the harness and a cheap camera off ebay. Way too many selections on camera and they are almost the same. Decided to get an OE look so just a non fancy wedge that requires a 1/4" hole. If the Forscan enabler does not pan out I simply need to get their CANopener.

I wonder if the CANopener is married to the car like the Accessport...

FORScan will work.
