FYI: Can confirm bed camera card works at OTA 2.5.1

[daemonic3]

I don't remember (there are so many) which thread that someone asked when OTA update the cameras in motion start working for Job1 trucks. I used Forscan to enable them on mine, and I added the "Bed Camera" card at the same time. While cameras in motion worked, the card did NOT work, so I removed the card. I saw someone mention that the card started working once they got all the updates including the BlueCruise versions. So I added the card back in and have been testing it on every OTA update.

So I can happily announce that 2.5.1 fixed the Bed Camera card in motion. I do *not* know if it added cameras-in-motion for non Forscan users, however. They don't ever mention cameras in motion in the powerup wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Power-Up_Version_History

I didn't try the cameras in motion or the Bed Camera card until after my truck was already on 2.5.3, but they are all working now, and I have not done any Forscan or FDRS changes/updates, just OTA.

Question: When you bought the truck, did it have the bed camera card option?

When I bought mine, I had the original powerboost cards only - no Trip1/2, no Fuel Economy, no Bed Camera. So are you saying that newer updates enabled the full set of cards without any forscan mods?

When I bought my truck in January 2021 (December 2020 production), it did not have the bed camera card option. As I posted, I have it now and have not done any Forscan mods. I do not have cards for Trip 1/2 or Fuel Economy.

Interesting! Can you name your cards? I'm guessing the originals plus bed camera?

1. Zone lighting (useless!)
2. Nav
3. Audio
4. Propower
5. Eco behavior (useless!)
6. [NEW] Bed camera?

Zone lighting is useless because I find the cards a convenient way to flip through things while DRIVING. I would not turn on zone lighting while driving. There are other ways to turn on zone lighting when parked.

Eco behavior is useless after the first few weeks of ownership. Like, ok I get it, I use the brakes and I accelerate. It is also redundant because I can add it to the cluster in MyView where I regularly cycle screens.

Trip1/2 [requires Forscan] is useful as a "this trip" indicator (have to reset it each trip) so that I can watch Eco Coach or Fuel Economy in my cluster to know when I need to do lockouts when towing. So I don't have to continually cycle in MyView to see how I'm doing on This Trip.

Fuel Economy [requires Forscan] is not as useful as I thought it would be, since it doesn't have as many hashmarks as when it is in the cluster. And harder to keep glancing at. I'll be removing it next time I Forscan for adding tremor mode front cams.

Bed Camera is extremely useful! I can now check on the dogs, or cargo while moving, obviously.

Yes, those 6 are exactly what I have for cards.

I checked this at every version - if you are not using Forscan, you will need to wait until 2.5.3 to have access to the Bed Camera card and bed camera at speed. They will not appear/work for 2.5.2 or earlier without Forscan.

Thanks for clarification! I don't want to mislead anyone but it definitely worked for me under the conditions I listed. Good to note there is a dependency/interaction with the other camera-at-speed mods.

Since the ECU thread is so large you may not have seen it -> there is a bunch of us in the same boat with XLT 302A trucks all stuck at 2.3.0 even updating manually with FDRS.

I cannot wait! i just got to 1.7.1......
