How to Replace the Rearview Camera on a 2012 Ford Focus?

[OscarMarie]

Disconnect the power supply cable at the vehicle's battery and place the disconnected cable away from the electrodes to prevent accidental power connection. Then determine the installation location of the rearview camera, which is generally divided into two types: 1. Installation at the license plate light position: This installation method is relatively easy. Simply use the small screws provided in the camera accessories to secure the camera in the license plate light position. Adjust the camera to achieve the optimal rearview angle using the included metal plates or spacers. The camera's wiring passes through the gap of the license plate light into the vehicle and connects to the reverse light power supply and video extension cable. This type of rearview camera installation is currently quite popular, offering a more discreet appearance and relatively easy installation. 2. Drilling installation: Embedded inside the bumper, this method has the advantage of not requiring drilling into the metal parts at the rear of the vehicle since the bumper is made of plastic. The camera wiring is also relatively easier to route.
