Backup Camera Lag / Freezes?

[Sump]

About every ~50 starts or so my camera never turns on. Rebooting the infotainment with holding power button and next track fixes it. Hopefully there's another OTA update to address.

I have seen the same issues on my 23 xlt fx4.

Our Maverick does this as well. It also doesn't brighten up at night when I go to reverse, which is something my Ranger with Sync 3 does.

Yes I have this issue. Almost hit a tree while backing up. It was quite scary. It lags while backing up.

Easy fix for this: turn around and look behind you

That's like saying because your Maverick stopped running, the easy fix is to walk.

False logic: if your truck fails to run, you may need to find a different mode of transportation. If your backup camera fails to work, you do not not need an alternate mode of transportation; just turn around

False logic: If your camera has a delay, you may need to install your own backup camera system.

Turning around does not work all that well when hitching a low trailer.

Never mind paying for a vehicle that has a feature that works poorly. Imagine if your engine cut out on you like this in the middle of a left-hand turn at stoplights? Oh wait, sit there until you get a green arrow while everyone else gets pissed off at you for being incompetent.

Incongruous rhetoric: you do not need a camera to back up; you do need your transmission, or in your example, your engine, to work in order to complete a left hand turn in a busy intersection. The two actions are wholly unrelated.

Jesus fncking christ...

You win... Be happy for paying for a product that doesn't work well and presents a safety issue. I also had a close call with the lagging. I then opened up the door to turn my head, as you suggest and it automatically went into park. Why did I open my door? It's a fruck and items in the bed blocked my view.

I hope you're able to solve the problem with your backup camera soon. I've not had any problems with mine; so far They can come in very handy in unfamiliar places. The best use I've found for mine is looping the tailgate cable over the top post which gives you a pretty good look right down on your hitch ball when trying to hook up a trailer solo

New stereo firmware seems to fix any delay or latency with the reverse cam

Grow up people. This is an open discussion forum where everyone is welcome to bring their issues and resolutions to help the community in case you hadn't noticed. Smart ass responses serve no purpose other than to show the world what an ass you are. Seriously, grow up for the love of God.

Now, to the OP, have you updated to the latest version of software. There is a tread here about it. It certainly would not hurt to try it. Ford should have had some of these issues resolved by now after almost 2 years but at least they are issuing updates so kudos to them for that. Good luck.
