Gidday all you whipper snappers , I have a absolute wealth of knowledge that in todays world is fast becoming useless. As a 58yr old motor mechanic who left the trade when Brisbane's Denmac Ford shut down some 20 plus years ago, i find my AirCon and Roadworthy licenses are all that i'm good for LOL. I can build a 9"Diff to take 1000Hp but. Enough bullshit .
I just bought a 2021 XL tray back and I'll be stuffed if I'm gunna pay extra on the finance for a $530 Rear View Camera, so here's my problem.
I have the Genuine Ford camera at a trade price of coarse and its not Plug n Play as the Ford website says, it has to be enabled.
So , I've got the Dongle from Stewart and I've got the Licensed Forscan, I've watched the Yanky You Tube's and for the love of trying i cant enable the piece of plastic.
Now keep in mind that your responses need to be basic as i am good at buyin shit off eBay perfectly and sending nasty emails to all local Governments and manged to grt bthis request on here , Hahahah

I bought a XL Cab Chassis , No camera on it even though its 2021.25 and Fords Accessory unit doesn't come with Guide lines or projected turn angle , typical Ford save a penny, save a dollar.
