Wow, five posts and all are exactly the same in different threads... were you afraid that nobody would see the first four?

 

Google is your friend. There are a coupe of options available online to add rear view camera display to the factory hard drive based navigation system in 2009-2010 Edge models (doesn't apply to earlier Edge models in the other threads you found). One is a simple $40 harness adapter that requires OBD programming to activate. Unfortunately, the company doesn't tell you what programming changes need to be made because they want to sell you their $200 custom programming device. https://www.infotainment.com/products/sync1-radio-camera-interface and https://navrepair.com/collections/obd-genie-custom-programmers/products/ford-lincoln-rear-view-camera-programmer-f-rvc

 

Another is a more sophisticated (and more expensive of course) module you can add which provides backup camera input along with front and side camera input and various other video capabilities. http://www.navtool.com/2009-2010-ford-edge-video-interface.aspx

 

And then there is the LockPick device from Coastal Electronics. I have used that one on my Mustang to enable navigation input while moving (there should be no reason why I would have to pull over and stop to search for a restaurant or gas station when my passenger is quite capable of doing so while I'm driving). It also adds four camera inputs which can be activated automatically (backup camera in reverse, side cameras with turn signal) or manually using the steering wheel controls. http://www.coastaletech.com/synclockpick.htm

Yes, I went with the simplest way by getting the interface harness with the RCA connector. I was googling everything I could find but I never came across which PID codes to change in order to activate the rear camera function on the nav screen. I have the " As Built" codes and that is no help. I Was hoping someone on the forums might know since i'm not the only one that doesn't want to pay the dealership the money. My local dealership also said they wouldn't touch it anyway.

As far as the multiple posts, I was trying to get it activated before my daughter took off to collage. Didn't mean to spin anyone up. Just trying to get it done.

I also have a 2010 Edge limited that has the nav screen. Installed a camera that works (Tested with a separate monitor) but we can't get the system to turn on the function. Dealer said no, can't, won.t, no...... I'm pretty sure that it is possible. Have the video interface that goes directly into the nav unit. Thru forscan, I changed what I thought would be the change (APIM 7D01-01 X*XX-XXX-XXX Changed the astrix to a 2, and an a. Both did nothing. Please help.....

I just bought a 2010 limited edge and wanted to install a backup camera. From what I understand, the sinc screen has a video input. Just tring to find a camera that works well and looks decent. How is yous working?
