FORScan reverse/backup camera discussion thread

[XanRules]

Okay, I'm having the same issue a few of y'all are having but in skimming the thread we didn't find the solution.

I haven't installed my backup camera so this might have worked and I'll know once it's enabled, but I have a 2017 that's been upgraded to Sync 3.4. The settings spreadsheet says to change the values to
2330 6105 C052.

However, my default values were 0130 6505 0074. We changed it to 0130 6105 C052 and nothing broke - hell, once I wire up the camera it might have even worked - but I'm curious as to what happened here that made those values SO different than expected.

When I programmed my backup camera, I changed X1XX XXXX XXXX => X3XX XXXX XXXX (where X is your current value i.e. leave it alone).

As far as I understand, different configurations of the car will have different default values.

Interesting! We will try that if the backup camera doesn't work when I install it - nothing broke changing the 5 to a 1, so that's good at least.

Did you ever get it figured out? I’m still at a complete loss here. Even if you didn’t get the camera wired up, it should have said something like “no camera detected” when you put it in reverse after programming it.

If that's the case, then no, because I don't have it wired up yet. I had a local guy with a laptop and FORSCAN knowledge do the programming (or whatever) with me, so next time he's available we can fuss with it again. I do intend to have the camera wired up this month, though, since my wiring harness finally arrived, it's just... well, you're in Oregon, you know what the weather's been like this week.
