Camera wiring. No CANbus there so thats a good thing

Right, for the reverse camera. When you select reverse, does anything pop up on screen? As in even a blank display? Just like the earlier FG ICCs?
I know some devices can be smart enough to detect an composite signal (My TV for instance) and knows when theres no signal or anything connected.

Figured out the following
single/dual zone onscreen controls
navigation enable
reverse camera enable
reverse camera gridlines enable / disable
him single dual zone conversion
Best yet i can make the unit work with a $35 reverse camera no need for genuine ford camera / special boxes.
my unit is definitely reverse cam enabled but doesn't give me a reverse screen when its selected. There is a pcb in the shifter assembly that reports the current gear to the instrument cluster, i believe this is different in the fgx and it is responsible for reporting the reverse gear to the FDIM hence why i cant make it give me the reverse screen with any mk1 / fgx module combo. i will get one of these and have a tinker.
i believe the fault code was something along the lines of reverse camera module not detected. but is gone now with a camera connected.

Never had the power saving message, perhaps because you have no bem or cluster connected.
i can set you up with a MK1 cluster, BEM, and GPSM if you need it.
