Hello all, I'm retrofitting auto highbeams / lane-keeping assistance to my Flex. Since it was never a factory option, I don't have the black masking with the trapezoidal window for the camera. If anybody happens to have an Explorer with the front sensor mounted on the rearview mirror and...

Still holding out hope there's someone here that's played with Can-bus. Most of my project is complete and I've been working on figuring out video-in-motion, but still being held back because I have no way of knowing what message triggers the video display while pulling forward slowly. Flexes...

A little playing around, and video-in-motion works! I'm a tad surprised, I thought the reverse camera didn't work at all when at speed. I accidentally had my relay hooked up to 5v instead of 12v and I couldn't get a reliable connection with the cheap hobby-grade wires I was using. It's...

Back from vacation, some new goodies arrived. My newest goal here is a Sync 3 Lockpick allowing video in motion. The theory is sound -- two CAN modules, one on the vehicle and one on the APIM. When you want video-in-motion, it intercepts all the "at speed" messages to the APIM and replaces...

It notified me this time. Maybe I just did something wrong. Possibly, when I followed the link for the first reply, I wasn't logged in so it didn't send further emails until I 'read' the new messages logged in. So far I'm happy with shifting to S for the front camera, but still holding out...

Tried recording a video of how I did all this, but apparently my laptop doesn't like recording more than 5 minutes and I tend to sound like a bumbling idiot. I also tried the "spam camera messages" I mentioned earlier, but it upset the radio too much. The following assumes you at least know...

So below 5mph it can activate? That'd be better than the current "0mph" requirement. Right now I have it set where shifting to S will bring up the camera, which works but I'd prefer to swap my shift knob for one with the O/D button instead to signal it. Maybe tonight I'll see if spamming the...

My apologies, I thought I had this set to email with new messages. I used an Arduino Uno with the ElecFreaks (edit: wait no, MakerFocus) canbus shield to test on my Flex. I did eventually get a method that works. Couldn't find a hidden Front Camera button so instead I have it watch for gear...

Thanks, Peter! I knew it'd be unlikely but didn't hurt to ask. Finding the messages being sent across CANBUS can be a powerful tool. Let's say you drive a lot at night and like to turn the screen off. It's a bit of a hassle going to Settings > Display > Screen Off, so find the right messages...

Hey all, greetings from the Flex forums. As you probably know, the Explorer gets all the fun new technology while the Flex has been completely forgotten by Ford. Pretty much the only difference between a 2013 and 2019 Flex is Sync3 and paint colors -- no new features. They haven't even...
