- Here's a serious video/guide on installing a OEM style camera in my 2018 Fiesta.
Bought the kit here - bit.ly/3f1gP9v
Pretty tricky install for the amateur. Probably not worth it for the kit price of £279.99.
I also noticed that my DAB radio reception has got noticeably worse, i suspect this is a result of the black heatshrunk power supply emitting unwanted radio noise. Beware anyone who buys this kit, it's a ball ache to install and will ruin your DAB reception, but you can now watch as you reverse over things.
Hi. I didn’t even know this was up until another customer mentioned it. Well done! Great video.
Thank you very much. Video proved quite popular!
Thanks for uploading!!! Just used this video to install on my Fiesta - this video was perfect and saved me from lots of fascia chips / broken clips!
Happy to hear! Let me know if you think it was worth it after using it a few months :)
hi how did you remove the decorative surround from speedometer?
@@kevsurbanexploring8160 carefully, with several trim tools all around the edge. Its the trickiest bit both to take off and put back. It's been a while since i did this and i can't quite remember the exact procedure, i just remember taking my time and getting fustrated. Sorry i can't be more help!
@@FluxLabsProjects Thanks. Think i will be ok with the plastic cowling. just stuck on that speedo plastic shroud. not one other video on the net that shows it apart from yours lol
@@kevsurbanexploring8160 It will come out, eventually. Good luck!

Well done first class quality product, regards Lester Millard Fenland "Cambridgeshire"
Happy you enjoyed it.
A question I have a little display screen of my new fiesta.can I put lake yours again the little one
At those HSD cable, do u need to remove those pink plastic or leave as is?
looks like a lot of work, I've just bought 2019 Fiesta St-Line and thankfully it came with one already installed 🙂, slight difference (and I think mine is factory fit) is that when reversing it shows colour-coded moving guidelines when reversing .. does your kit?
Consider yourself lucky! Mine does not. Just a plain video like in the video.
Hi there, great video! The cable with the yellow end that's seen in the middle @ 11:02 (I'm guessing it's an antenna connector), can you just pull it off the display or is there a tab or something? I was trying to remove the display on my Fiesta and it didn't really want to come off and I didn't want to do something wrong.
It's the video data cable for the display. it's tricky to get off, you need to press the lever in on the connector, then the connector will come out from the screen. It's tricky but once you know the technique it becomes quite easy.
hi how did you remove the decorative surround from speedometer?
Can you please confirm which pin numbers in the apim harness have the camera input wired?
In the orignal harness those pin slots must be empty and in the aftermarket harness there must be Camera input going to those empty slots.
I can't tell you as it's buried in my dashboard right now but if I remove it I'll do a video on it.
Anyone now where I can find the cable to connect rear camera with the car ?
Perfect video!
Great tutorial. One question. Do you have any idea about what additional cable you need to have direction guidelines on the camera?
Thanks a lot
I don't think that this kit (or any kit like it) can do direction guidelines, as this kit is non OEM. I could be wrong, however.
@@slick.productions is there a way to have the direction lines? I mean getting an OEM harness or something that can give you direction lines?
@@passworsstrength I don't know for sure. I would set about finding out if the directonal lines are added by the camera or the Infotainment. If it's the camera, then i'd buy it and a harness and fit it. If it's added in the infotainment, then you'll probably need to find someone with experience with Sync (not me sadly).
Great video, thanks!
Hello! Thanks for the instructions :D have you also enabled the guidelines through forscan? Do you know how to do it?
You''re welcome. I have not, i don't have access to forscan, i just used the dongle that came with the kit. I have a feeling the guidlines are generated by the camera itself, but i don't know this for sure .
nice video, but forgive me if i don't understand yet, i have a fiesta 2019 without camera, obviously no video. If I want to install the rear view camera, just add the cable or do I also have to program via PC?
Yes, you need both. Your Fiesta will have come from the factory without a wire in the harness for the rear view camera.
Is it just one cable from the front of the car to the back? Or do you need to wire up a 12V supply to the camera separate?
In this kit, just the single cable.
The cruise control upgrade is pretty easy to do on this version. On our 2017 mk8 we just needed to replace the left hand steering wheel switch cluster and change the config with Forescan.
That is a excellent idea, i'll have to try that one day.
@@FluxLabsProjects Just for info the part number we used was H1BT9E740-AB. You probably have the -BB version that doesn't have the cruise control on/off button. On some cars you also have to replace another part between the steering wheel and car but we didn't on ours.
Are you saying you can add cruise control when you didnt have it as factory?
@@knobstop25 Yes. Ours came with speed limiting only and we added cruise control so it has both. The only hardware we had to change was the left hand switch assembly on the steering wheel to one with a cruise control button. We then used the free version of Forescan to change the configuration settings. I can't remember exactly which configuration settings but it wasn't too hard to work out. I think one of them required us to enter the part number of the switch, or at least a number on the switch so you need to write it down or take a photo before fitting it. We have done it on a 2017 and a 2018 Fiesta. Edit: You have to tell your insurance company but ours considered it a software only change and didn't charge anything. Others might charge a small fee to amend their records.
@@ColinWatters Hello and thanks for the good info. I am a newbie here trying to figure my upcoming ford fiesta mk8 that does not have camera/parking sensors , are these "easily" upgradable and what other things can you do using forscan. (i seen the list on the google sheet but not sure which is which for my car) For example I saw that there is an option for auto opening/closing mirrors but I imagine my car has to have motors in them... How the hell should I now if there are things like this in my car? lol
You would think since he opened the box he would have looked at the instructions, before filming, so he knows what bit of the loom goes to where. Other than that very informative and well done.
Thanks for the video as thinking of doing this with my Focus. Did your car have reverse parking sensors ? I thought I heard the bleeping and wasn't sure if you'd lose them.
Hi, thanks for the comment. My car had no reverse sensors. I don't know what would happen to your reverse sensors if you used this kit, i'd suggest contacting the manufacturer of the kit.
@@FluxLabsProjects Thanks for getting back. I've emailed the company. See what they say 🙄
@@chrissing64 Good luck!
@@FluxLabsProjects ibforgotvto ask last time, I'm still thinkng about fitting a camera. Does the boot lock still work with the central locking with the camera handle and how much warranty do you get mate.
@@chrissing64 Yes, boot button still works, the new part they send has a camera on the side next to the buttonm abd the back has the same plug as old one. Don't know about warranty, probaby a year? You'll have to ask the company.
How easy is it to remove the trim around the infotainment screen? Can it be done without taking the whole screen off?
The carbon fibre effect trim was relatively simple, but the black shroud around the dashboard was trickiest. You need to remove the screen so you can fully remove the carbon fibre effect piece. I would say it is impossible to do this task without removing it. Hope that helps.
@@FluxLabsProjects can you describe how the black shroud around the dashboard (speedo plastic trim surround) came out? im having a nightmare removing it
Fantastic explanation of how to fit the camera unit thank you. Just completed an installation myself. Only comment is that it’s not necessary to separate the trim around the dials. If you have a torx driver that can get to the 2 torx head screws below the dials then once they are removed the whole dash panel just pulls off by hand. Easy!
Fabulous, thanks for this!
how can i do this without removing the trim around the dash?
Did you connect a wire to the reverse light?
No, just the connection to the SYNC unit behind the dials. I suspect it knows when it's in reverse as the SYNC sees this on CANbus.
You have a sync 2.5 in this video?
SYNC 3
Hi, how did you get the compass on your screen in idle mode?
It comes like that from factory for me. I didn't code that.
Cheers for the quick reply. It looks good, I will see if anything is on forscan. Thanks for a great tutorial, much appreciated.
@@stevenwright103 Not a problem. I assumed it was just because I don't have maps/navi on my unit that it just gave you the compass.
Enlace para comprar please
Hola me estan cobrando 430 euros por la instalación con la camara y todo solo yo tengo que pagar 430€ estara bien el precio?
Si el trabajo es profesional y usted está satisfecho, probablemente sea aceptable. Para mí ese precio es un poco elevado.
Hi I’m looking to buy this kit, is yours still working okay? Fantastic job on the video, also do you think it’s worth £279? Cheers Mike.
For the time i had it installed, about a year, it worked well in it's primary function. I was quite annoyed that it ruined my DAB reception, so bare that in mind.
Is it worth it, well i am still on the fence about that. I think it depends on how well you can reverse park. But as for intergration with the existing vehicle screen, i think it is.
FYI i no longer use it as i have installed some other head-unit that doesn't have a camera input, the camera worked fine till this point.
This is ok if you are out of warranty but if you still have a warranty in place it will surely invalidate it.
This is a good point. I imagine if you take it back because, say, the screen failed then they will say it's your problem but i've had the car back twice (under warranty) to look at mechanical things and no one noticed it, or comented on it. I guess it depends on the nature of you warranty claim.
Nice video bro but this looks a bit mad I'd rather have no cam.
Yeah it is a bit more complex then i'd expected. But at that point i'd bought this expensive thing best install it to get my moneys' worth from it
£279 is a bit ritch ,considering you can get cheaper ones
Agreed, it is a little pricy.
@FluxLabsProjects hopefully they will come down in price then I can grab one
@@mehere3013 Unfortunately I think unlikely, it's been that price for a while.
Rear view mirror is a great invention 😂
