Never heard of a "BCE" on any Ford.

Where did you get that term? What context?

Okay.

"BCE" is a Ford acronym that stands for "Body Control Electronics" .

Sounds like it means all computers. The 720 reference in your pic is to the instrument panel. If the only references are 720, maybe it only means that one. But, I'm guessing there are more.

I interpret it to mean everything with a computer that is on the network except the PCM.

Thanks for the help.
i downloaded my as built info from Ford and pulled up the BCE section for my F-150


now searching on a code, such as
7A5-01-01 2021 9008 0087

I find this section is for the backup camera.
it appears I might be able to display the backup camera image on both the rear view mirror and the 4” Display.
i found one reference that the display in a 2013 XLT may need a software update. Looking for more info on this.
