How to Easily Fix Upside Down Backup Camera Display: HOW TO ESCAPE

[@marlonhouston6685]

I have a 2013 Ford Taurus Limited. I thought it was a system issue, but it wasn't. So I did all of those steps and 3 was the solution to the problem. The camera itself is the problem. I went on Amazon and found the exact fitting camera for $60. It came the next day, I installed it and that was that. Problem solved. So if your camera screen flips, just replace the camera. I hope this helps my fellow brothers. Note: Don't turn your old camera 180. Yes it works if you do it, but right is left and left is right on your camera and you will be confused as heck. Just a warning.

On a 2011 ford edge the camera was upside down, I did the master reset first and it didn’t work so I unhooked the battery and that didn’t work. So for the hell of it, I tried the master reset again and surprisingly it work.

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Oh awesome! Yeah it's hit or miss sometimes, but glad that worked and you didn't need to get the new camera assembly! Some nice cash saved hopefully!

[@cameronsadowski2301]

This video helps! My mother's 2014 Ford Focus w Sync 2 has the same issue with an upside down view and no guidelines.

DID YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE CAMERA?

[@mykolahamarnyk6871]

I ordered the same camera on AliExpress for $25, and it works perfectly for me! I can give a link to the camera

[@stunin_chriss1074]

Link?

[@chuckdeuces911]

​@@stunin_chriss1074 Can't link anything in KZbin that doesn't have a KZbin address unless you're the owner of the channel or you can put it on your own channel.

Thank you. I’m sure if I went to a car dealership or mechanic I would get reamed and they would do exactly this and charge me a butt load of money so thank you so much.

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Oh man, sorry for the delay in response here- did you end up getting it fixed DIY?

[@Jesus_is_Lord_24-7]

What about a screen message that says "Rear view camera not available"? My rear view camera only seems to work for a few moments after the car is initially started, but then displays the not available message. Thank you for your helpful videos.

[@MikeK56]

Take the rear camra out clean the connections and that should fix it

[@uhm6577]

May be a grounding issue? I just watched a video on that a bit ago.

[@rainbowrock1941]

I had this problem. Replaced the camera and then the new one started doing the same thing 2 years later right after the warranty ran out.

[@NepaliGamingHub]

Hey can you make a tutorial video on how to install a apple car play/ android play display? That would be sick. Thank you for helping us with your how to videos!!

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Great to hear from you, @NepaliGamingHub! I agree- that would be sick indeed! Are you looking for a factory solution / upgrade or aftermarket?

[@NepaliGamingHub]

@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews something that is inexpensive and works well. Ive seen videos of people using after market consoles for different models and hear good response from them. So aftermarket would be nice. Thank you for your reply.

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Of course! I have seen some that stick above the dash as a small secondary screen. I'll look around and see what options there may be.

[@NepaliGamingHub]

@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews thank you

Be careful pulling the panel down if your trunk hatch is automatic with the button to close on it. It's attached to this panel and you'll need to unplug it before you fully can remove the panel.

[@uhm6577]

What if, when you open the hatch, it displays after that? It'll be upside down every time unless you open the back hatch before backing up. Then it displays correctly.

[@mikebenoit3184]

Thanks!

Owner of a 2014 Ford Taurus for almost 6 years now. This car has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. Unfortunately my backup camera flipped upside down about 2 years ago. I did the factory reset as you described in your video it did not fix my issue 😔 So if that didn't fix it what other options do I have?? Plz & ty

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Hi there Jenn- sorry about your screen. Thats annoying and frustrating. Are you confident to replace it diy?

[@falco10586]

I installed a new camera and then the image was upside down

[@AT-wl9yq]

They gave you the wrong camera. It also needs to be calibrated after you install it. Have a look at my other post, where I go over some of the details on what needs to be done.

[@eliseoregla25]

Did you solve this? I installed a new one and same issue too

Muchos gracias!

If your image is up side down, it usually means you have the wrong camera. If you look at the camera, its mounted so that the end you connect the wiring harness to is either pointing to the right or left side of the car. You need the other one. They look identical, so you have to go by part number. Also, you can't just install a camera and that's it. It has to be calibrated with a factory scan tool, or something equivalent. You can check by putting the car in reverse and turning the steering wheel back and forth. If the lines on the screen move when you turn the wheel, it should be fine. If the lines don't move, then you have to program the camera. Run a network test and go through the list of modules. Look for one labeled IPMB. Image processing module. B means its the rear camera. That's the one you need to calibrate.

[@jmadera_6]

Wrong. The camera on many Ford vehicles will flip for some reason.. Nobody seems to know why, and the fix seems to just be replacing the camera. Nobody is changing their backup camera and THEN have it go upside down, it's the original camera that suddenly stops giving you a right side up image

[@rev245]

Will master reset cause any damage to the sync system?

[@EliasTheHunter]

Nope!

[@randalllyons8467]

I just took mine off and remounted it upside down!

[@EliasTheHunter]

Doesn’t that make your left/right backwards now?

[@FactsOverFear.]

Any chance this issue is related to fuses?

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Hey there @FactsOverFear- there is always the chance, but I think it's unlikely. A fuse shouldn't affect the wiring or data transfer in a system. It's merely an overload protection. Are you experiencing the upside down screen?

[@AT-wl9yq]

Cameras don't get power directly from the battery. If a fuse is blown, you would lose power to everything that shares it. So, if you have other things that don't work, its likely a fuse blew. That said, its always a good idea to check all of your fuses whenever you suspect an electrical problem. Its quick and easy to do, and sometimes you get lucky. You have 2 fuse boxes. One under the hood and one inside the car. Always check both.

[@FreeAdvice4All]

Had to replace my camera when water got in it, and the new one displays upside down. 🤬

[@shyana5153]

Mine too my factory model just went stopped working for a week came back on for one day and wouldn’t cut back on after that but had kept cutting on and off for months before so I ordered another plugged it up everything is right went to check it and it’s upside and I have tried every trick in the book people are telling me and nothing is working

[@muccigane2351]

Thank you! The first step worked for me. I saw Ford’s are such shit cars.

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Hahaha. I appreciate your honesty. They're certainly not without flaws thats for sure. Glad you found some quick resolution. Yeah I like all the tech that is built in and they're pretty comfortable vehicles overall... they just need some love every little bit along the way haha

[@muccigane2351]

@@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews you are definitely great at what you do. Ford needs to hire someone like you to fix there crap that’s always breaking or not working.
