FORScan reverse/backup camera discussion thread

[CanadianGuy]

Is the process the same for a 2017? For the FORScan at least.

Thanks

Yes. And from what I read of the f150 site same programming.

Got a pic of the contacts? I have some laying around but don't know if they are the ones I need.

Post 25 in this thread. Some state old floppy drive cables (3.5") can be used as contacts.

[MENTION=2253]CanadianGuy[/MENTION] you have the actual proper pins? I may get you to send me some too, I can't even get them at work since the pigtail is considered "non replaceable" (we can get pins for lots of our harnesses but these ones are incredibly small and unique)

Yes I have the actual correct one. Which includes an alignment tab to prevent rotation. PM me your address and I can drop some in the mail.

Success!!!! This took waaay longer than I wanted it to. The hardest part is running the wire in the hatchback. Second hardest part is remembering that the small white bulb is the reverse (white wire). Ended up wiring it to the brakes! Thanks CanadianGuy and everyone else on this post that figured out everything!

I've asked a couple times but since not many have done this not many have answered. Does your Brightness slider and Auto Day/Night toggle work with the camera enabled?

Any issues with the auto day/night switching and brightness adjustment for the display through the settings? I lost both functions (still showing in settings, just didn't work) when I changed the value in FORScan.

 

[jtpassat]

I'll check and let you know.

Congrats!

I checked mine and indeed the auto brightness detect no longer works and is set to max. I reconfigured it to night mode which is fine for me. Bright enough to see under all conditions.

I still have some harness wires should anyone want any. Pretty sure everyone I mailed them to received them. Just pm me and I will drop them in the post.

Share what cameras you guys have used and it's quality.

I used something like this one. Quality is good and matches the screen resolution well.

Thanks CG! My wife wondered who the letter was from. "Oh, this is from your online friends?"

You are welcome.

same here... I would have never even noticed if no one told me.
