z32k12 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Has anyone else had the marker lines disappear on their camera? For some reason mine keeps turning the lines off and I have to reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan McEachern Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Mine are gone within a day every time I turn them on. Some weird sync bug. Fortunately that's the only bug we have come across so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTrigger Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Mine have been fine for 4+ months since I got the vehicle. Of course, now that I say that, they'll screw up...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan McEachern Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Okay, maybe we should investigate this a little further. Our car was built Feb 9th and came with MFT 3.5. Everything works perfectly except the backup camera line settings change themselves to off frequently. When turned back on, they work perfect until they turn themselves off again.

JohnTrigger Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Mine built back in Oct 12, and I have the prior version MFT 3.1.3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan McEachern Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Thanks John, Seems like they fixed all the old bugs with 3.5, but added one new one in so us newer folks wouldn't feel too superior.

lowbar Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 My car was built in Feb. and I haven't had any problems with the back up camera either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan McEachern Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 lowbar, My camera works perfectly, its the predictive lines that keep turning themselves off. Do you have the green, red, and yellow lines on your camera display? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowbar Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yes, I can't remember a time that the lines were not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwhitham Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Mine was built rather early-end of Aug. no camera problems but clock and phone connectivity issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtb9153 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) My SEL was delivered on September 20th and the build date is early September. I have had one instance where this happened but since there have been numerous system updates that is preforms automatically. It hasn't happened. My only peev is that the rear camera gets dirty and hard to see through, especially in the rain. Wish it had an auto cleaning feature like the mini cams on the Nascar teams who have on-board camera's for the TV viewers to see front the drivers perspective.

ceemax71 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ford issued a message saying that if you shift into reverse too quickly after turning on the ignition, the camera guide lines sometimes don't display.The message said to wait a few seconds longer to allow the Sync system to fully boot up.They are investigating to come up with a fix.

wab Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Ford needs to upgrade that "pentium" to at least a "pentium III" :yahoo: NOTE: I've never noticed the missing lines, build date 1/14/13???

Ryan McEachern Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 It's no just that they don't display, it also turns them off until you go back in and turn them on in the settings. It is definitely tied to something I do, because the lines will stay for days when my wife drives, but disappear as soon as I take it for a spin. Thanks for the tip, I will try pausing before backing out of the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Ford needs to upgrade that "pentium" to at least a "pentium III" :yahoo: NOTE: I've never noticed the missing lines, build date 1/14/13???lol, how do you know it's no 286 in there? They have to do something with these older cpus... ;) Nah, no problem with mine either and I use my backup camera a ton and I totally :wub2: it. Much better than just sensors.

Mark426 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Mine have disappeared twice. Have to go back thru the menus and turn it back on. Haven't figured out what or why they disappear. MAYBE its the shifting into reverse before sync boots up? Will test this theory out...if I can remember. Build date 2/10/13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MAXER Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 3.5.1 No issues with camera lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGyver Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I've had this, but only when I'm in a hurry and shifted into reverse quickly. Take a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG ROCCO Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 The backup camera works fine, but backup lines have disappeared on my wife's C-max - I have read the posts and I guess I have to turn them back on...but how, please? I haven't been able to find the right way to do that. Thanks in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceemax71 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Press the settings icon (gear on the bottom of the screen), then Vehicle, then Rear View Camera.The manual says the transmission must not be in reverse when accessing the settings.

BIG ROCCO Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 OK - I think I tried to do that with the left steering wheel display control - maybe this is somehow different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG ROCCO Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 That worked perfectly - thank you so much! So should I expect to have to do that periodically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceemax71 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 It is not supposed to do that. Ford issued a service message acknowledging the problem. They said it sometimes happens when the transmission is put into reverse too soon after turning on the ignition.There is supposed to be software update coming to fix the issue.

BIG ROCCO Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Right - I assumed it's not supposed to do that, but sounds like, for now, I can expect it to happen again :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
