Rear backup camerra delay.

[Moflash]

When I start my 2012 F350 and shift to reverse my backup camera has a long delay before it activates it goes thru a goffy startup screen then tells me my phone is connected then shows the camera.Most of the time I have already backed out of my parking space and never saw the reverse view.My 2010 F150 backup camera came on almost intermediate.Whats up???

I have the same complaint - and when I went in to the dealer fro my first oil change and asked them to look at it - they (and I) forgot about it

pet peeve when backing up to a trailer, etc... that u may have to get out a few times to verify...

There is a setting in dash for backup camera delay, not sure what all it does just 500 miles on mine here, guess I should read up on al these cool features

The delay in he menu gives the option of leaving the camera on when going from reverse to drive. Shuts off at 3-5 MPH. No delay switches off when taken out of reverse.

It takes less than 3 seconds for it to be ready to use the rear camera. I usually take the time to fold out my mirrors and put my seatbelt on. Good to go!

It is normal...my Tundra did it and our Denali does it. Just start the truck, put it in reverse, then buckle up and get ready to roll...by the time you're ready to start moving it should be booted up. There's no way to speed it up without eliminating your bluetooth device linkup...

My 2010 f150 did not do this.When you put it in reverse the camera was on

Maddening I know - guess the new trucks are doing much more to boot up

but when I'm getting in the truck to start and backup, what good is a backup camera if it doesn't come on before you hit something ?!?
(I know, I know, what did we do before backup cameras )

and when I am backing up to the fifth wheel it only helps until I get close enough to have to drop the tailgate...

Have another camera I will hook up in the bed so I can see it all...

may look into either the FORD LOCKPICKS or just hooking it to my 5 inch Garmin gps which has the updated maps, camera input, traffic, etc....
