DJ_Andy_M Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 UK models do not have an RCA input as far as I am aware. Mine certainly doesn't, and there are no options in the software for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine certainly doesn't, and there are no options in the software for it. In the 2 weeks I had my Mondeo Mk5 with the 8" screen. It had RCA in the centre console. My TitX Focus doesn't. Though I'm suspicious that the actual unit might. If you have an endoscope type camera have a nosey about :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 You can buy a RCA module that retrofits into the wiring loom at the back of the radio. Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huey45 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks Guys for all the info supplied, I know you can have the Tit with a optional reverse camera surely that must plug into the standard display, to give reverse vision, I just dont have the camera on mine, but display must be the same ?, and the other question, how do you remove the display to see ??

Bannko Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hallo Huey45, this is how you can get the screen out: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 When I did the reverse camera mod on my car, the screen had to be connected to by a FAKRA connector. Had to buy an adaptor for the camera to fit said connection on the back of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can connect there any aftermarket camera you want. But you need additionaly to activate it in your BCM using Focccus or similar software. Here is the wiring scheme for the reverse camera in Focus MK3.5: Rear View camera Sync Gen 2 - Focus mk3.5.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any step-by-step pictures, simlilar to above, on how to remove them without breaking any tabs, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to put the whole front bumper down and loosen the triangles from inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi8Um1OP1xY And please see this thread: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huey45 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi I fitted the triangular DRL's that I bought from a source in China, but as post above I did not take the whole bumper down on my 2012 Mk3 Focus 1.6 Titanium its a bit fiddly but I got my car front end up on ramps so I could get right under the triangle, and released the plastic clips one by one, whilst my friend outside the car pulled the triangles towards him, so they would not spring back in, so we did a joint effort, right corner yes, left corner yes, if you chose to take out on a warm day the plastic clips are not brittle, if you do it on a cold day you have a chance of breakages, what also helps a plastic type implement to put into front gaps to prise out, when guy underneath is releasing the clips one by one...I did both of mine in about 20mins and never broke into a sweat, have fun...
