2011 edge backup camera looks to be not standard


Recommended Posts

we own a 2011 ford edge SEL with backup camera that looks to be non standard. I was getting ready to replace it and noticed that my camera does not look like the one that is recommended for my vehicle. After taking a closer look .. I think it is standard .. I was looking at it from the wrong angle.

At first glance, I was inclined to agree, but it's really the standard camera assembly.

 

From the 2011 Workshop Manual...

If you'd prefer replacing your faulty camera with a used part, instead of new, you could try using the Car-Part.com salvage yard search engine...

Pricing for a used replacement backup camera in my area ranges from $135-to-$250.

 

Good luck!
