Reversing camera

Recommended Posts

Well tonight I am feeling pretty pleased with myself. I have fitted a reverse camera to my mkV which apparently Ford said couldn't be done! Well I managed to do it for less than £30 and it works like a charm. Comes on as soon as reverse is selected and shows on the screen of my Sync2. I did have someone giving me guidance via text but otherwise it was a solo effort. A fair amount of work but now it's done it is well worth it[emoji3] Anyone else done this?

Did you make a step by step guide by any chance?
Good job by the way.

I haven't done yet, I will be doing that though. I've taken some pictures along the way. I have the hatchback but I do have some information about doing it on the estate as well. The only thing missing, as it isn't OEM are the the white lines that move with the direction of the steering wheel.

I will be taking delivery of my Hatch in August and never added reversing camera so this would interest me.
I assume the new Mondeo would be same setup as your one as in installation ?

The new one will be Sync 3 instead of 2. Not sure if that will make any difference...

Thats something I forgot to ask you.

I have the sync2 unit in my Mondeo, as far as I am aware there is no difference in the installation if you have a sync3. I don't see any reason why the installation of the camera and wiring would be any different in your hatch, it is a PITA to do but well worth the effort. I'm pretty sure I made it more difficult than it needed to be haha

Well,
When you do additions like this for the first time with no guide, we tend to make it more difficult.
Thanks for all the info. Look forward to the guide.

Well
How is this working out for you?
Still pleased I hope?
Not rushing or anything, but did you manage to put a guide together?
Thanks

Sorry, I haven't had a chance, between then and now I've actually broken my back. I will get round to it, there may not be many pictures though.

Oh

In that case.
Don't worry about it and just take care of yourself.
Wish you a good recovery.
Thanks.

Me again.
Just wondering if it would be possible at all to link the camera you bought?

I am sure I could manage fitting myself.
Thanks
