20Edge11 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 So I've done some lurking and cant find anything so here I am asking. We have a 2011 Ford Edge SEL AWD (in Canada). 2011's only came with the backup camera in a Limited trim. One day while backing out the Sync through up an error message referencing the rear view camera was not working correctly?? Only happened one time. Looking at the 2012 models it looks like the camera comes on SEL now. I dont think I really need it but am curious if its an easy add on?? Do I just buy the camera and plug n play or does this require a dealer flash that they dont/wont do?? I assume the wiring must already be there?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knight23x Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 the radio connect (plug and play) is standard??? for all edge with (radio my ford touch) Is there someone who has a plan for the connections behind the radio. I too would like me to put a camera on the back but everything apart before I'd like to know if there's connection. les connection des radio (my ford touch) sont tu standard si oui surment qu'en plugant un fil il va le detecter et commencer a fonctionner Y a-t-il quelqu'un qui a le plan pour les connections en arrière du radio. Moi aussi j’aimerai me mettre une caméra à l'arrière mais avant de tout démonter j'aimerai savoir si les connection son là. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnd2 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I live in Ontario and have a spare camera (the lense got cloud and I replaced it. I will gladly send it to whomever for the cost of shipping so they can try it. To install the new one took less then 10 minutes, it may be worth a try for someone. Shawn.

shawnd2 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi, Yes, I've been in Iceland and the UK the last couple of weeks but am home now. I haven't looked for it but am pretty sure it's in my glovebox. What's your address and I will try to send it tomorrow. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagedrummer Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I am looking at a 2013 Ford Edge SEL without a backup camera and wanted to know if adding the backup camera is difficult? Has anybody done it to a recent Edge that didn't come with one but has the necessary screen in the dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnd2 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I finally got around to looking for that old camera I had, sorry with travel and Christmas I have been busy. I thought I had it in the glove box, but can't find it. I'll keep on looking, but you maybe out of luck. It was a good thought though Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1850 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Thanks for the update. If you don't mind to keep looking a little more I would appreciate it. Please keep me updated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast1850 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Well, I finally had some free time and took apart the cover on the rear lift gate. From what I could see, there was no wiring for a factory backup camera on my 2013 SE. It was a major disappointment but I kinda had a feeling that Ford would have excluded the wiring anyways on the base model. Guess I'll have to go the route of a wireless camera that you can use with your rear view mirror. For anyone that has an SEL and doesn't have the camera, you might get lucky and actually have the wiring installed, you will just have to remove the plastic cover inside the hatch and see.
