Thanks miggit that's sounds good. When you say switch on pin 17 what do you mean exactly? |

The 2002 - 2005 non touch screen FFRR's, use an earth signal to pin 17 blue plug on the TV tuner to switch the dash monitor to the reversing camera, so that when you select reverse the screen displays the camera. Now if you want to go backwards and not see the rear view camera but the TV screen then you'd need to break this feed. I realise that your FF is a 2007 and that the wiring maybe different, but the principle will be the same, and I'm sure that someone will know the correct pin outs for the later setup. I would find it hard to believe that the wiring has changed, unless they use a completely different system, but it is a FFRR, and will be fitted out with a Ford bias and not a BMW!

Hi David, from what I can see, your patch lead will plug into the blue socket on the tv tuner and the factory plug will go into the new socket on the lead. The wire that you have, that is marked camera switching ground, will need to be switched via a relay.

Just had a thought, If you want to check the camera earth lead, plug the leads in to the car and just run that wire to earth, with the ignition on, it should cause the nav screen go go blank / fuzzy, no signal! Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

It needs to go in to the TV tuner, via the blue socket pin 17! So it will need to go in to the new plug, if memory serves me correct, the plug is in 2 parts, you have to release the outer and slide the inner part out. Ie it doesn't feed in the way that the plug goes in to the socket, but from the side. Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Thanks Miggit. I did all the other wiring today and just need to put the earth switched lead into one or other of the sockets.

That might be because it's getting 2 signals, which are fighting each other for the display. Run the earth lead into the blue plug pin 17 and earth it, and try again, hopefully it will be ok |
