I just had my dealer replace my ICC unit on my FG. They replaced it and did not setup the reversing camera. When I spoke to them about it, they said the camera needs programming and would cost an additional $200.

 

Does it need programming, I would have thought it was plug and play considering it was setup previously?

and if it does need programming, is that something I can easily do?

Or

Does it just need wiring attached?

I did tell the Ford Dealer that the camera was not working, and they told me it would cost a further $200 to program it. Every video that I have watched, they just attach the cable and the camera works.

 

It is an absolute joke considering I have just paid $1,300 for a replacement part that was faulty from day 1 and should have been replaced under warranty.

Try showing them the relevant video and say "I'm not paying the $200 unless the process you do is different to that in an appreciable way" etc.

If I cannot get anywhere with this and you are serious and have the ability to persuade, I would take any assistance and be grateful.

I was going to pull it apart and see whether they just haven't wired it correctly. But if it is what they say, programming, I wouldn't know where to start.

 

I initially bought the car new at Medindie, where I had it serviced for many years. They would not replace the faulty unit initially. Then they moved to Unley so I've had the replacement ICC fitted at Rebel Ford, Elizabeth. I just spent over 7K with them repairing all the suspension and various other issues. You'd think they would assist a good customer.

There would only be one outcome to me showing up and it would end up with both of us in legal trouble that would cost a lot more than $200. Pay the money and find a new shop to do your work going forward.

After going through forums it looks as though any Ford built between 2011 - 2014 have these ICC issues. Should have been a recall.
