The reverse camera on my 2020 GT was replaced today

...under warranty. However, I need your help here. When backing up and looking through the center console screen does the camera show any print backwards or does it show as if you turned your head and looked at them through the back window?

When I back up, if there's a car on the right (passenger side) then it's on the right side of the screen.
Does that help?

Here you can easily see a poster of my former Army Unit BUT it is in reverse. Is that the way you see numbers/alphabet figures in your reverse screen?

No that's not right

I didn't think it was. I've installed plenty of cameras, front and rear, there is a right way and a wrong way for rear facing cameras. Someone at the dealership made a mistake.

Most likely the Lin calibration was not done .

In your experience, would you consider this a major error/oversight, or an error only an unqualified tech would make?

OK , in your pic the image is flipped but still shows the guide lines , that is usually a programing issue . If a new camera was installed thay need to do a Lin reset . Gotta get all the modules on the same page so to speek . The issue with the camera is it is a module that is on network that can not be seen by the scan tool , reason for a Lin reset . But again the 2020 are having big time issues with cameras , reason for the up coming recall

This type of install should be rudimentary to any qualified technician. I will be back at the dealership to discuss with the Service Advisor and Service Manager. This is more than annoying. Thank you for your input.

A major error, no, the camera was installed correctly. But the job wasn’t finished. Frustrating that you need to bring it back, but not the end of the world.

What was not right with the original backup camera ? Did it not function at all ?

There is a widespread (700,000+ cars) issue with backup cameras going dark that Ford is recalling
