360 Camera Addition

[rugedraw]

yep, every one of them. i even had to change tire size on a customer 2024 Super Duty and everything worked fine

Hmmm. Interesting.....so now there is conflicting info on this.

However, this would mean you would need to swap in a TRON enabled IPMA and then hope that FDRS authorizes it once it is installed.

if the data ia conflicting, maybe all TRON does is set a code?

Not sure. I've seen TRON get broken by OTAs. An authorization code pops up in the TCU and connectivity stops working correctly.

I'll see what I can find out and report back.

TRON does not do a part number check, so you can swap in an IPMA. As I suspected earlier, software incompatibility is going to be the biggest hurdle.

i asked some techs at work and got conflicting answers. one said it should work. one said it will cause problems. i think the only way to know for sure is to bite the bullet and try it. theory and asking can only get you so far

Agreed. When it plug into the IPMA with FORScan beta, does the IPMA show 4 or 5 strategy locations?

I looked at the as built from my car again, and compared it to the spreadsheet while trying to assist in getting @A4techpl audible alerts going.

Front Parking Aid Module Install

TLDR, 706-02-01 (IPMA) has the option to add 360, front, or side cameras. Obviously, we have confirmed we don't have the hardware in our existing IPMA to make the cameras work. Frankly, I'd be thrilled with just a front camera view.

@roket The existing rear view camera is just an LVDS cable to the IPMA, right? Would an LVDS switcher work? It would be much jankier, but you could wire it in to the IPMA as a camera feed interrupt, and add a hardware switch to manually switch the rear view feed on/off.

Front Park Sensors works fine - they turn on automatically on lower speed like in other 2021+ Fords.
Point is no sound from Front ones. Rear ones are fine.

Sounds like you are saying the display illuminates but audio isn’t triggered

Correct. So: ACM does not get info from IPMA or GWM does not forward correctly info into ACM.
