Fiesta ST Backup Camera Intall Guide(Without Damaging your Vehicle)

[Spork1569]

I was able to do it despite not being electrically inclined at all , like atlantaM3 said there's a ton of good guides online that make it super easy to follow.

Only recommendations that helped me too is using the harness mentioned above and the Canopener tool below which basically does the for scan stuff for you if you're worried about that.

I used the 4D stuff too, made that part plug-n-play. worth the $ for me personally.

I also purchased the 4D harness for my install, but skipped the Canopener tool. Forscan is relatively easy to use (compared to other car programming software) and tons of guides are available.

Did you guys have to wire the red wire that comes off the RCA cable that goes into the 4D harness? This is my first time trying to install a reverse camera lol

Not unless you want to do it that way. I tapped power from the reverse lights in the rear, as much closer.

This is the way

I ran the power wire through the rubber grommet by the trunk hinge using a metal coat hanger to guide it, worked great without needing to drill or mess anything up.

What was your method of feeding the composite video cable into the head unit area? There's not many options there without taking the entire dash off. I'm trying to figure out what the best way to hook that actual video cable up to the harness is.

You can feed the composite video cable into the glove compartment and snake it up to the head unit. Here's another video detailing it --

I'm pretty sure no one has taken the whole dash apart for this installation.
