Good morning team,

I installed a 1.5" Traxda lift kit (front and rear) on my '23 Timberline and have observed that the reverse camera's indicator lines are no longer true. Can FORScan be used to recalibrate the camera, or is this something I would need to request the dealership to do?

Observations:
- Distance markers seem to be largely unaffected (pitch seems fine).
- Radial/curve marker seems overly prescriptive relative to the outcome.
- Width lines appear crooked relative to parking spot lines (despite parking centered in the stall; as though the camera has too much roll/yaw)

Although, I doubt they would be successful, given their parameters are set for factory ride height.
 






The F150s can do it. There is no service procedure for it for our Explorers in Forscan. That said, the last time I updated modules with FDRS, I also aligned the 360* cameras. After a year now, it is slightly off again but not as bad as it once was. In an ideal world, I would do this at least once a year. I wish Forscan would have the option like they do for the F150s but we don't have as much clout as the F150.
 






I guess I haven't looked at the service procedures for the PC Forscan in a while. It DOES have IPMB 360* camera calibration. This is great news! Will definitely try this when I get back from vacation. You just need to find an empty parking lot with ckear lines and the drive around really slowly when prompted.

As a side quest: when I bought my car it had a "$500 360 Camera Credit." However, I have the front facing camera and side cameras in the mirrors. Is it possible to use FORScan to reprogram my headunit to use them? It seems silly that they're installed and not functional
