Hi
Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to turn on the backup camera in my 2025 mustang ecoboost?
Since I don’t have forward park assist I would like to use the backup camera when pulling into my garage
Thanks

There is no way to switch on the camera that im aware of. Maybe put it in reverse and back in?

In all seriousness, I pull into my garage to a certian point. Then I'll put it in reverse and check with my back-up camera if im lined up to a mark on the floor that tells me im in far enough, and then roll back as needed. Its really not a difficult thing.

Thanks for the reply
Yes I didn’t think there was but thought that I would ask because on my 2019 Jeep Cherokee I can.

Also fyi I pull into the garage, stop, put it into reverse and then into forward. The the back up camera will come on to help me safely park inside the garage
Thanks

There is also a rear camera delay setting.

In my wife's spot I have a retractable electrical cord. When it touches her windshield, she's in far enough. On my side. I have a punisher figurine on a string. When he touches the windshield I'm in far enough. 🤣

Maybe with FORScan. There is existing configuration in the APIM to put a camera button on the touchscreen.

I line ours up with a red leaf rake that's mounted on the right wall. Just happens to be in the right spot.

Does everybody have really small garages? I am trying to figure out why this is an issue.
Without knowing everybody personally, it's common logic that some have small and some have large garages.

But good to know that you have a large garage.

A ton of houses have garages that are just barely big enough for two cars. In order to be able to open the driver's side doors without hitting the other car, my wife parks her Edge going in nose-first, and I park the Mustang going in tail-first. For either car, you cannot get into the passenger side without leaving the garage first, but at least the driver's doors can be swung all the way open (only one at a time) without hitting the other car.

I bought one of these from Amazon so I can back in far enough to close the garage door without scraping my front bumper, but not so far that my rear bumper is against the water heater.
