Shortcut on main screen for camera possible?

[markboris]

I'm looking in to wiring up my own button. Here's the wiring diagram for the button that you get with the 12" screens.

Looks like we need to add a switch to pin 10 of the IPMA module's connector C242B.

My vote is to turn the useless |P| button into the 360 cameras. Should be possible, but Ford will have to it.

Hey Pete, Aaron, I made a physical button to activate the cameras on my Mach-E and I'm fairly sure you can do the same with your Lightning. While you can add your own momentary button to do this, I chose to use the Parking button since I would never self park the car. You are correct with your wiring and you need to add a wire to pin 10 of the Black connector in the IPMA. When you apply a ground to that pin, it will activate the cameras, however, you also need to change one line in the IPMA in FORScan. 706-15-01 xx2x-xxxx-xxxx the 2 needs to be changed to 3.

I created a thread on this topic in the Mach-E forum.

Mark,

First, thank you for that! Does this FORScan section look the same as the section for the Mach-E? (Below is for the 2021-22 F-150 that matches the section you mentioned above)

Yes Eric, looks exactly the same.
