Reverse Camera Ford Fg

  • I have been told there are 2 guys on ebay that sell kits one cost more then the other and one requires the backup camera to be activated by a Ford dealership the other does not. There's this guy at $429+ posatge $14.90 & + activation fee from Ford $120 total cost $563.00 This is pretty much factory setup so no option for parking gridlines.

This is my 5th attempt at a guide and a photo heavy one at that. Where exactly should i place the relay mate?

Firstly, what the hell are you listening to haha. Mine is all up and running now, but my camera doesn't have that weird grid thing yours has lol. I'm not happy with the fitting kit surround that I got, its very cheap, others say it looks fine, bit I'm already planning to replace it with the one piece fascia that incorporates the holes for the heaters etc. The radio itself is great, call quality from the is great, auto connects within 10 seconds of getting in the car, will also stream from my phone through. Sound quality is much better than the standard unit, also fitted my sub seeing as i had most of the car apart lol, so now have bangin tunes. USB works great, and even plays movies through that:-) will upload pics from my USB, and I can then use them as backgrounds for the headunit. Removable front is bulky, but puts my mind at rest with all the low life scum about that wouldn't think twice about thieving it.

All in all I'm very impressed with my work, and the units capabilitys.In your video, is your unit fitted or hanging through the back of the dash, I know you said something about a dummy front being used, but don't think my OCD would let me live with that lol. :o don't tell me you ain't heard of the black keys mate!?

They brilliant.I think the grid on my camera is good mate, helps you judge how close you are and when to stop reversing.By the fitting kit surround do you mean the fascia adaptor mate? Yup i admit mine looks cheap, but i need it to be able to mount my faceplate to it using velcro lol, so i aint bothered how it looks if it stops me stereo getting knicked. I can always paint or hydro dip it anyway.Too be fair i'm really not fussed about not having, i've neve used it so i'll never miss it lol. I'm happy with having me on a diddy usb that sticks out the front by about 4mm so it would never bother me or get in me way.Must say in terms of sound quailty the built in amp is brilliant, really gets the best out of the stock n watching a film is like sitting in the cinema.I can set photos as the wallpaper too but havent bothered yet.Even though you have the removable faceplate, you still may wanna think about a dummy faceplate also mate. As savvi scum will see you've removed it, and immediatly know its expensive enough to have a removable faceplate, so theres still something worth knicking in the dash.So they'll still nick the bulk of the stereo out the dash, then stroll into halfrauds n lift a faceplate of a display model.When you say fitted or hanging out the back, are you on about how its not flush with the head unit surround?As yup its fitted, but what i've done is trim a bit of the edges of the back of the fascia adaptor.

So that it sits about 2-3mm deeper into the head unit surround. By doing this, when the dummy face plate is in place, the dummy head unit sits flush in the head unit surround. So that it does not randomly protrude out the surround further than it should n make it obvious its just stuck on. Yeah, i thought it looked a little futher back than it would normally sit. I already wrapped my 2 plastic surround bits, but the bigger of the 2 comes away slightly on the bottom right, were the useless clips they supplied won't grip the console hard enough. Then the finishing trim, it has little teeth to hold it in place on each corner, I did a test fit, but on removing this, most of the teeth wore away.

Terrible quality. All the wiring was great, if not a tad to long for what was needed. And as stated earlier, it was a nightmare finding somewhere for it to live grrr lol. Gonna search eBay and see if I can find one of the other fascias to do away with this one soon. Thanks very much for the offer mate, but I actually lo e the look of the wrap, especially when I managed such a goof finish first time haha.

The idea of the new fascia has been strengthened by the fact that were the new surround sits, then the radio being shoved in, has actually started to slightly push the carbon wrap in a couple of corners on the actual dash/radio surround. So it just won't do, and a new one will be ordered and wrapped accordingly lol. Also going to research if its possible to wire the camera without a switch so I can use it while driving. Use of a relay will be incorporated somewhere.

Just want it to act as it should in reverse, but be able to select camera on the unit while driving and have it operate that way. Hi, just hijacking this thread. I have a Fiesta, but the principals in installing seem the same. My problem is that my camera has an extra set of wires.So, instead of a video connection and red power connection. It also has another power wire which is open ended.I did actually test the unit with a 3 pin plug charger and it worked fine, without the need to connect the extra exposed wires to any power.I'm going to give it a go again and splice some of the wires coming out of the car. The wires coming out of the car are two wires connected to the light (orange/black and black) plus there is an unused one which is also orange/black.Any help is appreciated.
