    Hi Tezza,

    I did see a program that you can enable on 2015 + vehicles using a elm cable.

    Please keep me updated ! I would very much like to add this feature my last focus had it and regret not having it now :-( instead I opted for a city pack.

    I have the UCDS adaptor and programme and this covers alot of fords inc the 2015 focus :)

     

    Yes will keep you updated as fingers crossed it will be up and running tomorrow as we have fitted the camera and new loom just needs activating

    Won't it void his warranty going 3rd party rather than OEM? he really doesn't want any kind of unofficial wiring/modules/hacks etc.. If he can't have genuine he won't want it. Appreciate all the feedback thought.. making me wonder about doing my mk2.5... hmmmm

    finally got round to fitting reverse camera to my mk3, fairly straight forward, only issue i had was with my elm327, didnt have ms can switch to be able to initialise the display, so resoldered the hs can wires to ms can positions temporary to complete the task. 

    sorted, quite good camera considering it was a cheap chineese one off ebay

    Looks great which camera did you go for ? and how long did it take the Russians to send out the adaptor :)

    hi, used the camera that you posted up linked to ebay. the camera is the ntsc version and works fine. the module and adapter cable came from russian guy, took only 10 days to arrive which i thought was not bad.

    Nice one, did you use the russian adaptor to get it to work for the mk3.5?

    have you got a link for the russan adapters?

    Do you need the ford programming software?

    Yes I did and you will also need to buy the full programme licence to activate the camera as FoCCCus program does not have the second part that needs enabling :(

    FoCCCus does not have direct configuration in ts programme as you need to change the Block the Config DE00 - DE00 to enable the APIM
