Trying to get active guidelines on my backup camera for the vehicle listed above. I used to have the active guidelines on my 2017 and wanted to know why they were not on the 2016. And how I get them on my 2016?

Are you referring to the guidelines that turn when you turn the wheel? If so, I don't show that as an option on 2016. This is actually pretty common. There were some vehicles that had this option in 2016 but they become pretty common in 2017 and then are pretty much standard today.

I doubt there is a way to get them installed on your vehicle unless you go to an aftermarket system that offers this. The only way that I can see it would be possible is to swap out the camera and have the sales codes updated so that the BCM knows that they are there. However, I would check with the Ford dealer to see if that is even an option to be added.

Let us know what questions you have. Thanks

That’s correct. My 2017 has the lines that turn when I turn the wheel. Which is really helpful. I was just curious if I could get it added. I have a couple other questions as well.

Okay. Unfortunately I don't see an option to get it added except as an aftermarket option as mentioned earlier.

We can answer any question you have but we need to keep each post to one topic. So if they are related to this back up camera issue then ask it here. If it is a different topic then we need to start a new post. The only reason is, we need to make it easy for others to find the answers to the questions if they have the same issue. They won't find it under a different subject.

How would I go about getting it added as an AM? Would it be a dealer only addition? Also, I will start a new conversation pertaining to the other question(s).

Yes. This would be a dealer added option if it is possible. The only way I could see it working is if they can install the camera and radio (if needed) out of a 2017 and then adding the sales code to get it to operate. Thanks
