I have recently had a new Mk 5 Mondeo Titanium with the X Pack and body styling kit. When I ordered the car I did not specify the rear view camera and was wondering how easy/hard it would be to retrofit this to my car myself,and how much would it cost. Can anyone help with an answer please

Below is extract cut /paste from German Forum translated; - I can't vouch for the accuracy but his initial feedback is no (well officially anyway)- maybe there are work arounds?

Parking sensors retrofit?

Hello there,

the first contacted FFH (really very hard, small family business) has been able to give a positive message, has been in contact with support from Ford in Austria to Cologne and apparently there is absolutely no possibility of retrofitting because the hardware is indeed available but no way to integration (programming / changing the configuration ...) into the existing system is possible. The only possibility is an external system with own beeping without any integration (apart from picking up the 12V power supply) ...

If there are no insider the funds and I still help (also possible via PM) can you offer?

Like other manufacturers vehicles I am sure someone will be along with an aftermarket upgrade that'll seamlessly integrate with the headunit. If it can be done with my a3 and successfully programed into the car, when audi say it can't, I am sure someone will crack it into the mondeo.

I checked with Bristol Street Motors.
They said they couldn't give me an exact quote as the car is still quite new.
They reckon for front and rear sensors including a reversing camera (official ford parts) it will be around £2500.00
Thanks guys for replies.

I already have the front and rear sensors and the sony upgraded sat/nav pack aswell. I was wondering if its a case of just adding the rear camera. Not sure if the wiring etc would be already there so that you just connect the camera in.

Hi everyone,

Having some some trawling on the internet, I found this:-

http://www.carcommunications.co.uk/car-accessories/driver-safety-aids/reversing-camera-kits/ford-reverse-camera/ford-mondeo-reverse-camera/ford-mondeo-reversing-rear-view-camera-kit

Anyone used these guys before? Any good? Just wanted some recommendations before deciding whether or not it was worth doing.

Many thanks
