HOWTO: Retrofitted SYNC3 RVC camera ovelay removal

My car was equipped with sync1 and rear view camera. It is mk3 Focus made in September 2013 titanium with parallel park assist, rear view camera and front & rear parking sensors.
I have retrofitted SYNC3 and since then I had this annoying grey blocks overlay that change colour to green, orange, red when closing in on obstacles.
In sync1 there was an option to disable the overlay aids but on sync3 I couldn’t find anything.

Because my car is equipped with IPMB, I searched in the database for asbuild information but all the info is for 2015+ models. I wanted to add this bit of information but I cannot as a simple user so here I am making a topic

The factory as-build values:
7B1-01-01 0045 1202 13
7B1-02-01 0501 0100 00C2
7B1-02-02 0000 BC
7B1-03-01 51C8 D5
7B1-04-01 0C0A 05D8

To disable overlay you need to change 7B1-02-01 0*01 0100 00C2
from 5 to 0

Everything works as normal, no errors in any modules.
I hope someone else finds this useful and thank you all for your contribution
