****Once the camera is replaced the dealer has to hook it up to the IDS (ford programming software) and initialize the camera for use with your vehicle. Such things such as the back up grid, etc may not work until this is done.
One of the first mods I did was change the chrome rear lampshield strip, which holds the rear cam. I ordered the OEM sport black version, and it came with a new camera (even though I didnt ask for the part). After installing the new strip AND the new camera (I figured why not use the new camera instead of removing it from my chrome strip), everything worked fine. I didn't have to hook up to the IDS, etc.
All has been working fine ever since (all lines appear, no black screens, etc). Can you speculate why I was able to simply plug and play?
