360 front camera alignment after ARB summit install?

[breaddrink]

Did anyone ever figure out a way to align the front camera properly after the ARB summit install on a LUX Bronco?

I have read up on some F150 forums about recalibrating the system after a camera relocation, but not much on here about it.

Everything else that got relocated seems to work well (sensors and ACC radar panel). The front camera however is way off. It isn't even centered any more when installed where they tell you to...
I ended up mounting the license plate holder flush against the bumper, as I've yet to install my winch in the bumper, but when it's mounted with the flip up plate holder, it's not only misaligned but still obscuring such a large amount of the view, I'm wondering if it might be better being in it's original placement and having the grill cover on the Summit block it in a different way.

If anyone figured out a solution I'd be all ears. Thanks!

Edit... Added a picture. The lines are continuous past the parking space, showing how out the camera now is.

The only kind of alignment/calibration with a factory location is done using FDRS. I doubt it’s going to help with an aftermarket location though.

So the cameras can be aligned? My dealer randomly replaced my backup camera under a recall and now it's wildly out of alignment. The center stripe is several inches to one side of the center of the vehicle.

I relocated my front camera after a winch install. What I’ll call the front perspective is a bit wonky. I asked my dealer about recalibrating and was basically told what @Ducati1098 said above. I just live with it.

Good luck.

Yeah, but not necessarily a manual alignment. Yours may have been installed wrong. Hard to say if this procedure would fix that or not.


360 Degree View Camera Alignment
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with Trailer Reverse Guidance (TRG), complete this procedure and also perform the Trailer Reverse Guidance camera alignment.

NOTE: Damage to or misalignment of any of the cameras or the body panels they are mounted to, can affect the camera alignment.

1. Prior to beginning this procedure, perform the following:
   1. Verify the exterior rear view mirrors to make sure they are in a normal driving position.
2. 1. Verify suspension is in a normal driving mode, if equipped with adjustable suspension.
3. 1. Verify that all doors, deck lid, liftgate, and tailgate are closed.
4. 1. Using a scan tool, retrieve and if necessary, repair any parking aid camera DTC .
5. 1. Clean the camera lenses. Inspect all cameras (except center high-mounted stoplamp camera and trailer camera, if equipped), the associated mounting hardware and body components for damage.

1. Environmental conditions that may affect the procedure:
   1. Perform procedure in daylight.
2. 1. Perform procedure when visibility is clear with high contrast scenes that are not disturbed by strong rainfall or snow.
3. 1. Recommend driving on normal asphalt or concrete surface.
4. 1. Avoid road surfaces that have a smooth and uniform appearance (e.g. snow blanketed roadway).

1. Using a scan tool, carry out the 360 degree view camera alignment procedure.
   1. Refer to the wiring diagram to identify the camera controlling module.
      Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 145 for schematic and connector information.
      
2. 1. Select the controlling module on the diagnostic scan tool screen.
3. 1. Select the alignment procedure.
4. 1. Follow the on-screen instructions.

1. After the procedure is successful, verify the quality of the 360 degree view camera on the display.
   1. Drive to a parking lot and stop vehicle over straight parking designation lines.
2. 1. Activate the 360 degree view camera system.
3. 1. Drive slowly over the parking designation lines while watching the corners of the 360 image for stitching quality. Lines should look continuous.

Yes, I did wonder this while installing, as it isn't even centered any more.

It's not something impossible to live with, but it seems rather sloppy when there's so much room on the bull bar to get the right angle and not have it be too in the way.

This has been a most perplexing install.

Yah. It’s wonky. Now check the screen tire tracks on 4wd there off by 6”
