New Backup Camera installed may need RCV Config?

Recommended Posts

Ok folks. So I had my rear camera replaced and Now I don't have the rear camera guidelines showing on the screen. I checked the settings and they are set to ON to show guidelines. I did some searching on some other Ford Forums and found that several other people had this same issue when having a new camera installed. Please note: My old camera showed the guidelines perfectly fine and all of the settings are properly set to "ON". In searching the F150 and Explorer forums some people have noted that the SSM for this is SSM 22105. The dealer may need to do a RCV configuration after the camera replace. If they don't then you will not be able to function the girdlines. Does this make sense to any of you? Any idea if this RCV config can be done without having to go back to the dealer?

Yes, you'll need a dealer trip to enable the gridlines. I don't know of any way to DIY! Dealer replaced mine after the last MFT upgrade failed. Camera worked for a couple of days then lost the gridlines. Dealer configured the camera during replacement.

Pretty much any electronic module that's replaced on the cars now requires a dealer configuration.

Thanks tmbubell, sounds pretty simple but apparently my dealership cannot figure this out. I tried to tell them that other people has similar issues and that all that needs to be done is a hotline call to Ford for an RCV Reconfiguration and supposedly they already tried that. I had my car at the dealer all day yestreday for them to just replace the APIM which of course did not bring back my gridlines!!! so frustrating. i took my car back and might literally just keep it without the gridlines at this point. Why is this so difficult!!

You might want to send a message to the FordVTeam account listed in the thread -

I know on the Ford Explorer forums various Ford groups read the messages. I'm hoping they can provide with some guidance.
