Missing parking lines and dynamic guidelines

Not terribly surprising considering Ford engineering can’t even keep simple things across model families, best example of this is the whole Global Open/Close and the frost tell tale on the cluster of the Escape/Kuga and the Fusion/Mondeo.
Gets factory enabled on EU vehicles, but not on NA, while other manufacturers like Toyota & Nissan keep it the same across markets.

No luck. No service procedures for IPMB only AsBuilt which when I load Factory AB tells me no changes, but I do notice that every other module has my correct VIN yet the IMPB has VIN 0123456789-nopqrstuvwxyz

They appear if I start the engine and immediately shift into reverse, but disappear.

I get the reverse camera, the top down icon of the car, and the grey blocks at the bottom of the display which change colour when you get close to an object.

Hi, had the same issue with my 2017 Mondeo. After a day of updating all possible software at the dealers it turned out that the intellegence of the active guidelines are inside the rear camera. Had it replaced and there were the lines back again.

Hi @bertclaesen

I’ve swapped the camera for an identical part number and it still doesn’t work. I’m yet to go to Ford to see if they can re-enable it but worse case I’ll live with the blocks and sounds.

Would just be nice to get the lines back. I do have another camera I can try (AliExpress meant to be the same part number camera)

@dontpannic

Mine does exactly the same thing. Is yours a diesel? If petrol, do you have the LIN New Module in either BCM or IPMB??

Are there any current Ford techs on this site that can confirm whether IDS will be able to do the LIN new module initialisation for me?

Petrol - 1.0 EcoBoost.

I’m currently hunting down an unrelated steering angle sensor fault but when I had ForScan plugged in yesterday I don’t remember seeing LIN New Module or LIN Calibration at all in the service procedures - I might have to get another extended license and the latest beta version and see if the option is there then.

Though the dynamic lines won’t work at all on mine while the steering angle sensor is faulty so won’t be for a little while yet!
