Then enable the camera and the sensors in that order. Now I get the camera displaying together with the bleeps from the sensors. Also get the block pattern together with the reactive steering lines. I think the blocks might be dependent on the sensors? Hi Thanks, this is good to know for when I get my finger out to complete my installation.

Jonro2009 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Which trim pieces are you needing done? It can’t be a pain to find an exact match and your car would probably suit a few bits of carbon fibre on the exterior, could you work that into the project?

Got exact paint ordered to spray the used tailgate trim that came with the camera. Here's the finished product inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have the Trim and camera assy which looks like the picture. My question is having disconnected the connector from the camera and examined it very closely I can't see any pin numbers. All the wires are different colours and looking down on the Connector (not the green one but the flat black one actually on the camera) left to right I have Brown, Green, Yellow, white, Grey and black. Which is pin 1 is it Brown or Black? Still haven't found the pins to connect to C237. All in good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnp77 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 On my camera the wires are in a line with a "1" on one end and a "6" on the other end. Are you sure it's a genuine Ford camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasos73 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hello Cragrat and Liamstears.I'm Nasos from Greece and i own a fiesta st 2017 model. I want to retrofit the factory reverse camera and you have been very helpful to me to understand how to do it. My case is similar to Cragrat's as i have all the coloured cables in the left side plug behind the rear seat but not the 3 cables from there to the tailgate.Secondly i have the cables from my screen plug to connector C237 below the radio again but no further.Yesterday i activated my reverse camera with forscan and the correct screen came up ☺️So i think that i'm in a good way...I want to ask you for a wiring diagram and every help that you both can give to me (what plugs - wires - pins).Another question is if i have to send the cables from c237 to the tailgate through the A-pillar c-248 plug or not.My screen is the 4.2 inch coloured.Every help from anyone is welcome.Thanks in advance.

jace1969 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 This is mine that i had to rewire the rear camera being it was std. from new with a Fakra connector so turned that into a RCA plug with these results. All factory fitted by other person who had it new but camera packed in twice in 2 years and i aint paying close to £200 when i paid £12 for this one and a lot of thinking and cutting plugs off,my problem was i needed a camera to push out a 3.5'' picture to work on my 3.5'' rear-view-mirror and tried 3 others as they were 4.2'' or above so just a rolling picture and very bad,my results below so i have knowledge on a pre-facelift set-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragrat Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hi Nasos73, Their is a wiring diagram in the Haynes manual that shows the cables and connectors. This is what I mainly used with help from others on this site. As for my own installation this has come to a problem. I bought a second hand camera and tailgate trim and thought I could just use the second hand one as a template to reposition the tailgate release and camera. Not possible as the trim for the camera is wider on the lower edge where the lights handle and camera fit. I will now have to try and get the second hand trim painted to the correct colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasos73 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thank you both for your answers.Cragrat i want to know what cables have you used (thickness - cores - shield) and where did you find the plug pins.I also want to know if it is necessary to run the cables from C237 below the radio to the tailgate via the A-pillar c-248 plug or not.Thanks again. I really appreciate your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragrat Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hi the cable I intend using is off ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SCREENED-2-CORE-DATA-CABLE-Per-Metre/282112798341?epid=1643571984&hash=item41af3bae85:g:3JQAAMXQLbVRaWV- I have run this cable from the tailgate straight to C237, I haven't found the pins for this connector yet, so haven't connected to the screen. All of the other pins I have found in scrap yards. My connector C237 seems to be only fitted to post 2013 Fiesta's as I looked at a 2011 Fiesta and it's C237 was much bigger. I must stress I haven't got mine working yet. In my area there just don't seem to be any scrap post 2013 Fiesta's, but I am constantly looking.

bigchunk Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Attached is the diagram for reverse camera and front and rear parking sensors, if it's any good to anyone. says its for a 2013 model year. So i think it facelift on, possibly still good for pre facelift though? 2013 Fiesta - Cell 131.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasos73 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Is anyone here that knows the type of the c410 and c237 plug pins and if i can buy them at Ford? And for the 12v camera feed what thickness the cable have to be? Thanks guys. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragrat Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I tried to buy the pins from Ford. I was told they are not available only as part of a complete loom at great expense. I cut the connectors from a scrap car leaving a tail of wire and took pins out and inserted them into my connector. Then crimped my cables into the tails. Still waiting for a post 2013 Fiesta to get I more connector (C237). The scrappy charged me £5 for the ones I took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasos73 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi guys. I have finally received all the items that i will need to retrofit my camera. Ford asked around 670 euros (almost 600 English pounds) so i bought these for 200 English pounds. Expensive shipping cost (70 English pounds) but again the difference is big.Next step is to paint the trim plastics and then do the cable stuff.

Cragrat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 All finished now. Had to get panel sprayed to correct colour Hot Magenta cost £80. Nice paint job. Wiring completed and Forscan reprogram carried out. The reprogram was a bit of a faff but all done and working. Took a while but done now.

Nasos73 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Nice news to hear David. Post some photos if you can .Can you tell what the problem was with the forscan ? In my case yesterday i took my sprayed panel and now i'm ready to start the cable stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragrat Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hi Nasos73, What photo's do you want? Just about every thing I did is on this post some where either from me or others. As for Forscan It was mainly finger trouble and working out the sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasos73 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi David.Just a photo of the screen working with reverse...I also want to ask you what size is the cable for the 12v camera feed that you used? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragrat Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Hi, I used cable from an auto electrician. The core is multi strand with a dia of 1.2mm. Possibly a bit over the top but it was free. The pictures below are first standard with block distance, these turn green / yellow / red. Second is with the Parking Pilot off and the third is it at max zoom. Hope this is what you wanted. The box in the top left is the front parking Pilot display. Edited November 7, 2018 by Cragrat Added front parking info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
