Fitting reverse camera to 2020 sync 2.5

[Marky146]

Lot of confusion about. As said, the Sync 3 is a separate module called the APIM that lives down near the glovebox. That is for the Sat Nav. If you purchase it new with Ford SatNav, you get Sync 3. If you don't it's Sync 2.5. Which is fine as you can use the far better sat nav from your phone! I'm using a company called Media in Motion to supply the module and harness and camera for me. It's then plug and play with no coding required. just waiting on the price all in delivered then ordering it tomorrow.

Ive fitted the camera, loom adapter and plugged it in. Ive tried to code it but when I enable the camera in the BCMii module nothing changes when I select reverse? I still just get the parking sensor image

Forscan lets you enable the camera in 'easy' mode but if I go into the BCMii As Built option I don't have <a href="tel:727-08-02">727-08-02</a>. All of the codes seem to begin with 726.

Any one got any ideas?

You need to go into ACM as built to change the settings for camera

First ensure you have sync 2.5,
The harness is from amazon for 2020 focus camera harness, its the sqaure plug.
I got my ntsc parkvision camera also from amazon.
You can power the camera from the accessorie behind driver side rear l light cluster

Hi,

Digging up an old post here but Im struggling to get my retrofit camera working.

Ive got a 2021 Ford Transit Custom with the sync 2.5 head unit. Got all the kit that I thought Id need and I thought Id test it out first to make sure its working before running all the cables but no signal on display when in reverse. I changed the setting in ForScan so the headunit switches to the camera when in reverse ok but then says there is a fault with the camera.

Do I need to connect the red wire on the RCA lead somewhere are the headunit?

The red wire is to carry the power to the camera

Here is the coding required for sync 2.5

727-08-02:

xxxx xxxx xX

Change X to

2 for Non-NA layout
3 for NA layout
4 for Non-NA layout with Split View
NA = North America
Basically you change the digit 1 to 2

When I find 727-08-02 my code is 4 digits each time so xxxx xxxx xxxx what is it I change then? Yours looks like it’s xxxx xxxx xx

Cheers

Just looking at reverse camera coding, I have the same issue 727-08-02 xxxx xxxx xx38 can’t change it, when I change the code it reverts back. All other codes have been changed just not getting visual on 2018 facelift sync 2.5 3 . Anyone know how or has the correct code please.

Hi . I fitted the reverse camera and connected to my auxiliary 12v via relay at back , the RCA is currently connected to the ACM via a T harness, coding is enabled for rear reverse camera , screen switching and park aid sensors top right corner screen either blue or then black few moments later when no visible video says camera unavailable. The 727-08-02 xxxx xxxx xx38 needs to be changed to xx28 , which writes and says blocks updated successfully, but the code is exactly the same xx38 so blocks the video input. Can anyone please explain how to rectify this issue. Thanks. My transit is custom limited 2018 facelift and came out the factory without a camera apparently on my model.
