When it's off, there's a motion detector (motion of the van, not like a wildlife camera) module that will trigger recording if the van is off but gets jostled. The unit will record video from all 4 cameras, displayed as 4 fish-eye orbs in one frame, and will write over the oldest video files so it's always recording while on. The brains has a microSD slot, and the wiring harness has a USB port, so you can hook up your preferred flash media. The last noteworthy feature is one I hope I don't need: recording. I can still activate the other 3 views using the arrows on the remote. In this way it acts as my rear view mirror since the actual mirror was useless. I chose instead to just wire the reverse lead to 12V switched power, so that it always defaults to rear view. The wiring harness for the camera system has 3 wires that can be connected to the reverse lights and left and right turn signals respectively so that putting the gear shift into R activates the rear view, and turn signals activate the left or right camera view. I discovered that I've been leaving much more room in front of the front bumper than necessary when 3-point turning, so that's a huge help to know where the front of the van actually is (not to mention the rear bumper)!

In Forscan there are options for software buttons and hardware buttons but none of the configurations seem to work.Still, the display is useful enough to know where the corners of the car are relative to obstacles. I will check the files and do some more digging. see, some guys claims it also works when front obstacle sensors detects something.Ħ) I have wiring diagrams for almost all Europe Ford models and all connectors descriptions (online, ask what you need):įocus (take it now, link will expire soon) (the year is diagram release, not model year )

If don't install Ford camera, just any "china" thing, you don't need IPMB at all.Ĥ) I have bought a Kuga switch panel with the camera button and a trim from a focus cheapest radio (black white display, cost me 10 pounds) which I use to transplant this black piece around buttons.ĥ) There is an alternative option for the camera button: special mod for sync adding camera button on the display. I sow many posts that it was done.ģ) There are LIN buses going to cameras, IPMB switches and controls them as well. However, IPMB cope with BCM not Sync, sync just turns on video input. Basically, that is what IPMB does.Ģ) All sync3 are almost identical and can have anything enabled. I'm about to do this in my Focus.ġ) IPMB is hard to find and expensive, many guys just do the switch working on the reverse light signal. Is this the same Sync communication with other modules? In the F150 there is also a front camera option I believe.
In Forscan there are a lot of options to active: 'Camera Hard button' (something like that), 'Front camera' (something like that), etc I don't have the wiring diagramsĬould it even be possible for the modules in the Focus MK4 to communicate with a IPMB? which will be needed for this project I think The LIN line from the camera is attached to the BCMĪnd how the Kuga MK3 (I guess) is wired. Same kind of module used to be in the older Focus for only the rear camera but now (in the MK4) the rear camera is attached directly to the APIM (SYNC module) for the video signal. I think the Kuga has an IPMB (Image Processing Module B). The plastic coverpanel in both the Kuga and the Focus look alike and exist of two pieces, the smaller piece covering the radio panel should be mechanically detachable and hopefully fits in the Focus because it would be needed for making room for the camera button. For the Focus this officially does not exist, the Focus version is JX7T-18K1811-AB The Kuga has a radio control panel with button for the front camera LJ6T-18K811-BB. I am looking into installing a front camera for my Focus MK 4 Titanium Business
