Default backup camera programming with forscan

I have a 2014 F150 XLT supercrew that the factory backup camera went out on me. I bought a new ford camera that was the exact same part number and installed it. The camera worked, but the backup lines no longer would bend and the zoom feature did not work. I have downloaded the latest version of forscan and got my license for it installed. I have searched this board, the internet, youtube, etc... and still am having issues getting the features to work. The spreadsheet I found on this site showed to check the FCDIM 7A5-01-01 and BCM 726-39-02 and I did with both of them showing correct. I did see a youtube video that showed a body control module that was just for the backup camera, but did not see it on mine. I checked my as-built sheet that I downloaded from ford (Module Build Data As-Built) for my Vin # and went through each of the codes that started with 726 and found a line that was different, 726-03-01, it read 0101 0001 34 and on the sheet showed it should be 0201 0001 35. I changed this line and it fixed the camera to zoom again, but still now bending lines when you back up. Does anyone have any knowledge on this issue that they might be willing to share. Also one other question, I have the small screen sync and when I back up there are two tabs showing at the bottom of the screen. One tab is for the zoom and the other tab shows something with a line through it. The tab has been like that since I got the truck in 2014 new, does anyone know what that tab is? and is it a feature that I can turn on with my unit?

I have a 2016 F150 XL Scab, not prewired and non touch 4.2" oem display. I added an oem rear camera and custom harness and adapter to the back of the display. Coax cable for video- and video+, power and ground from the cigarette lighter. Did not use the lin bus wire and do not know the source of it, the picture is great but no guidelines. I used Forscan and recently purchased the flash programmer from 4Dtech still no guidelines. Is the lin bus wire needed for the guidelines. Any suggestions!

Default 2017 to 2018 backup camera

Has anyone put a 2018 or newer rear backup camera with 360 setup in? I got a new tailgate so I need to put in the newer style handle and camera but my 360 turns off when I plug in the new camera

Would love my 13 to do the curve lines! Anyway, I think this is a dealer only programing issue. When my sons explorer and wifes edge cameras were replaced, the dealer said they had to be programmed by them. Hope someone tells us differently.

Both of y'all ask your questions in the 15-20 section, this is 09-14 section, the electronics are different.

So did anyone sort this out at all?
at least where in forscan this is, is it just the PAM reset?

I'm just trying to get the zoom working. Otherwise factory camera original.

Services and under bdycm. It is labeled rear camera calibration. I just had to do this after my reverse camera died. Takes like 30 seconds.

Thanks, any idea if the camera needs to see the ground to do this?
