Thank you for this! My wife and I just did this and it worked great! A couple things we ran into that others might as well. The studded bolts were very hard to take out. Ended up putting some wd-40 on them and letting them sit 10 minutes and they came out fairly easy. Also, we replaced the weather seal that went across the top of that panel that has the Ford emblem on it. The original was crumbling off. We just used a rubber door/window seal and it worked fine. Just saved a ton of money!!!

[@addismultitasking3504]

Glad it worked for you

Great video, very helpful, thanks. Just one suggestion, instead of using vise grips to remove and replace the six threaded studs, screw two of the nuts on the stud, tighten the nuts together with two wrenches, then use a wrench and one of the nuts to remove/replace the stud.

[@felippebartalo1037]

great suggestion!

[@fredlawrence4294]

This is an excellent video! Thank you. Couple of items specific to a 2013 Edge: 1. The center 2 studs do not have to be removed. 2. There is a locking tab directly under the edge of the camera that is not visible unless you gently pry the 2 surfaces apart. 3. Bit of WD40 makes studs easier to replace. I used the nut with deep well socket to reinstall. Then backed nut off and snugged.

[@addismultitasking3504]

Ive replaced 4 of these now and can do it under 10 minutes. The problem is they made several models of cameras and depending on year they are slightly different mounting techniques.

This guy is legit! 100% verified as I just finished removing and replacing the camera on my 2013 Ford Edge. Thank you!!!

[@addismultitasking3504]

All the way from Riyadh Saudi Arabia, I say Thanks man, comprehensive tutorial, appreciate it

[@addismultitasking3504]

Glad it helped

[@TaliCoff-bp7ls]

Thank you. I’m a female and was able to do this myself and save money. Only problem I had was unscrewing the threaded screws and I broke one of the push pin wings following another video. I was pulling it down instead of pushing it in. Should have used your video first.

[@dorisfisher5041]

Thanks!! So much better than the other ones! No cutting or hacking 😊

[@addismultitasking3504]

You're welcome!

[@faybaystudio]

Thanks so much for this video. I successfully replaced the camera without breaking anything. Truly appreciated.

[@addismultitasking3504]

glad it helped

[@christopher7601]

This method is correct and easy. Anytime a channel has you cutting and such for a routine r&r run away.

[@addismultitasking3504]

Right on

[@douglasknight6702]

OMG! I was so happy to come across this video. Same day and got the new camera in the afternoon, and now the backup camera issue is fixed. I am so ve3ry happy. Thank you for the details on how to do this as well as providing the link for the new camera. Problem solved! Bless you.

[@addismultitasking3504]

glad it helped

[@douglasknight6702]

@@addismultitasking3504 My wife (its her car) pointed out that the top of the license plate is showing in the camera vid. and never did before. I just looked at it now and see nothing not sitting right. Is there a way to adjust this so we do not see the license plate at all?

[@DarlaLackey]

I'm so glad I found this, I really didn't want to cut off pieces. Thanks for the video!

[@addismultitasking3504]

your welcome

[@papergalaxy]

Thank you. Saved hundreds of dollars. Finished in less than two hours even though i am not a car guy.

[@addismultitasking3504]

Nice

[@scooter8187]

Great video. I've watched several and this one points out some little tips and tricks that the others don't mention. The demonstration of using a small flat blade screwdriver to separate the plastic tabs is pretty key. They break very easily.

[@addismultitasking3504]

Glad it helped, thanks and have a good night

[@christopherzeoli1835]

I agree. This worked terrific. Just had to use WD-40 on one stubborn double-sided screw. And careful when going through using the flat head screw driver part. Thanks!!

[@arthurbell6279]

Thank you. Very well presented and super easy to follow. Got a bit lost on disconnecting camera but overall great video. You saved me a bunch of money from having Future Ford do this.

[@addismultitasking3504]

glad it helped

[@michaeltorres3231]

Great video and a thumbs up. Thank you for sharing and doing it the right way. I think we all Do It Your selfers can use a little patience like you showed in your video and avoid being a wrecking ball... Thanks again...

[@addismultitasking3504]

Thanks, have a good rest of the week

[@richardgolden3265]

Outstanding, my man! Thanks so much for doing this.

[@addismultitasking3504]

You bet!

[@elitegaragedoors6607]

Take it apart and do it right! Great video! Thank you!

[@addismultitasking3504]

Thanks for watching!

[@dbeaves2839]

Did my Escape in 2 minutes. Just pry the plastic holder from the left side. Replace camera and pop the plastic holder back in.

[@danmcmahon6165]

Great job! Thanks for creating this video!!

[@addismultitasking3504]

Thanks have a good week

[@bobericksen8295]

[@addismultitasking3504]

Fantastic!

[@user-co1lu7be6p]

Great video... Follow these steps and you'll be done in no time. Took no more than an hour.

[@addismultitasking3504]

Glad it helped

[@user-qb7tu1dy5x]

At 6:20, turn on the vehicle to see if it works. If you didn't make the connection correctly, and you button it all up without checking, you will not be happy. Believe me, I know...

[@jjustcro]

Worked perfectly! Thank you!!

[@addismultitasking3504]

Great to hear!

[@sgiff]

Ok, so this worked, and thanks for that. You know how to make a good video, as in you hold the camera close and steady when showing detail. Very few people get this. Two thing: The metal double sided screws that you need to take out with vice grips. Mine were stuck in hard. Like really hard, they werent budging. After letting them sit with some W-D40 for a while, they came out. Also, the camera you link to, it works but it seems a bit low quality and its actually a much wider view than the original camera. Maybe that's a good thing, I dont know yet but you can see the letters from the license plate on the bottom of the camera which is a bit annoying but no biggie. Thanks so much, so glad I tried this.

[@addismultitasking3504]

[@ToeJamFootball]

It there any alignment procedure? MY new cam seem a several degrees off.

[@thomasnichols5957]

Would a person want to make sure it works before putting the back panel on?

[@thomaswhitaker297]

Does the close up function work on the new camera?

[@malakwal321]

Can u upgrade same camera with high resolutions camera if its available in the market

[@patriciamcguire-huggins1047]

This was a very good video

[@addismultitasking3504]

Thanks

[@sniperdog15]

Great video!!! So how do you realign/program the camera… new one shows tag and the red guide line is now on bumper instead a foot out or so

[@addismultitasking3504]

Im not sure all mine have lined up like normal

[@Deadmou5z]

Thanks. Just changed my camera and put it in properly and it’s upside down. Fml

[@dawnrunyon7069]

2 Questuons please: I habe a 2012 Edge, My camera is blurry, doesn't have guidelines and sometimes says "Rear Camera not available " so will changing just the camera fix that, or is this a software problem? 2.d Question, I saw on aother video that the camera would have to be "programmed" is that the case and if so, do you have a tutorial on that? Thx so much. considering doing this myself.

[@TaliCoff-bp7ls]

Replacing the camera should fix the problem and no you don’t have to reprogram the camera.

[@johnjohn18168]

Did you have to have a Ford Dealer reprogram the new camera?

[@addismultitasking3504]

no

[@SaveAmerica69]

Would be nice if you could just turn it upside down. And then the image, would be right side up again

[@jenniferbush3413]

What year Ford Edge are you working on?

[@addismultitasking3504]

that was a 2011

[@devinluccki6696]

What year Edge is this video on? My camera needs replaced and mine is a 2014

[@addismultitasking3504]

2011

[@TaliCoff-bp7ls]

The video works for 2014. I have a 2014.

[@williamnews9051]

I CANNOT get the very last screw. Even put the vice grip on some of the threads and it still won’t twist….

[@addismultitasking3504]

Warm it up with a hair dryer or heat gun
