Just wanted to post an update here: The microphone was not working for sync and phone calls. After working with their tech support, I had to switch two of the wires for the microphone around and it resolved the issue. Also they had to change a couple of bits with forscan to make it work. I'll post another video showing what they did on forscan
I'm also having issues with the seat warming functions. They don't seem to be working (2014 Fusion SE). I've reached out to the tech support as well - do you think that's another issue the climate control harnesses?
I just got a 14 ford fusion s and this is the first thing I wanted to do. I was told the wiring harness for the backup in the truck would already be good to use to install a backup camera. You said otherwise so I wanted to confirm. You obviously have a lot more know how that indo so I have no idea what that is going to involve if I have to.
Awesome video, super helpful! Working on this now in my 2014 Fusion. May I ask you for the link to the diagram you used to complete the manual to auto climate control wire diagram please?
Link is in the description, page 3. Just have to move 3 wires from one plug to the other and it works (single zone only, it will not give you dual zone, but auto works just fine and everything works with the dual screen cluster for control of the hvac with the steering wheel controls)
What's up with that little kicker amp? Or LOC? Want to add a system with minimal changes. And bypass the factory bass limiting to the door speakers. I already have and Audio Control lci2 for subs in the trunk.
Has this car been reliable for you? I’m planning to purchasing a 2014 fusion for $7.5K with 130K miles next week and it will be my first ever car and I’m genuinely nervous as I don’t know much about Fords, but so far i’m reading that the fusions are really good so far
I bought mine with 289,000 miles, the motor needed the timing chains replaced. I got lucky and found a 25k mile engine on Amazon (yes amazon) for 600 shipped to my door. After I replaced the engine, this car has been a dream. I originally bought it to fix it and flip it, but ended up liking it so much I kept it as my main car.
I replaced sync 1 with sync 3 according to your instructions, but the buttons for controlling the radio on the steering wheel do not work for me, there are free pins from disconnecting the small 1-inch monitor, the carol for 12 pins, because I only took the cables for the rear camera from there, could you share wiring diagrams on fusion 2.5 se. thanks in advance
Are you referring to the directional arrows or the volume/track buttons? The direction arrows do not control the sync 3 display, they control the cluster with sync 3. Does your camera work, and are you using aftermarket or factory?
how did you install backup camera? i also have same 2014 ford fusion it didn't came with it from factory was there factory wiring in trunk or you had to wire it yourself?
The car is already wired for a camera, but there isn't a power feed from the dash harness to the floor harness. All you need is to replace the trunk lid harness and give it 12v then tell the car that it has a backup camera with forscan. I'll probably make a video on how to do this in the future
Mine doesn’t turn on I tried the ones from Amazon they don’t come with any of this stuff I tried two different ones of the same kind it’s the Chinese version
The adapter harness is the key. The couple of small issues that I had with getting mine working, the company I bought from on ebay was extremely helpful in figuring it out. There was a wiring change in 2017, so there are many different versions of the harnesses.
I don't remember where I found the wiring details, but it is super easy. You need the trunk lid harness from a backup camera equipped car, the bezel that the camera attaches to, camera, and camera bracket. Everything in the trunk is plug and play, no custom wiring. The only wiring modification that is needed is to supply 12v ign to a single wire in the passenger footwell under the center console trim. I may make a video on this in the future, as the work is very easy but isn't documented all that well unless you scour forum posts and google for wiring diagrams. But in a nutshell, its as simple as getting a camera, harness, bezel, and connecting one wire, and enabling it with forscan.
After checking in the 2gfusion forums, I don’t see the red wire that needs to be plugged in the connector under passenger foot well. The connector already has brown yellow wire in the slot. Does that mean the camera is getting the power? Also Programmed the correct code with forscan but still see the blue screen and no camera available message.

Super useful video. Once I saw the diagrams I knew I was in the right place!
Glad it was helpful!
My 2013 Fusion SE has wires already in 13, 14, and 18, any clue what to do here?

@@DesertNinja650 I mean volume buttons, I have a factory camera
@@DesertNinja650I’m having the same problem. No volume or skip functions from the steering wheel and my factory camera is working fine.
how did you install backup camera? i also have same 2014 ford fusion it didn't came with it from factory was there factory wiring in trunk or you had to wire it yourself?

Will it work on a 2013?
Hi, I just tried to install mines and there's two pins on the side of the cd player that's holding the whole unit in. 🤦🏾♀️😞
Yeah, mine has the same. Should be 4 screws and it slides right out
@@DesertNinja650 I gave up. I put my old unit back on and now my screen looks messed up.

Do you have any resources for backup camera install ?
