Forscan Question - change bed camera to rear view/tailgate camera on side of screen

[desiderata2001]

I have searched high and low for an answer to this question and cannot find one. I have searched the Livinitup's google doc as well. I have a tonneau cover and I don't want the fullscreen tailgate camear on all the time, I would rather have the smaller display for the tailgate camera. Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

I don't understand what you are asking for - the bed camera is only on if you turn it on.

I want to switch the bed camera with the tailgate camera on the screen with CarPlay. I want to have navigation and be able to see out the back of my truck at the same time.

You can have CarPlay and the bed camera on at the same time? An XLT with CarPlay has something on a Platinum with Android Auto I guess because my truck doesn't have that capability.

On my Pro I can make AA not-fullscreen and then I can use the panels to the side, including the bed camera. I just hit the AA icon at the bottom of the (12") screen and it windows down AA. Android Auto then simply takes up the "nav" section (the area that is Nav, Radio, etc). I am surprised the 15" does not have that feature.

I can confirm that this works the same with CarPlay on the 12” screen. Super handy.

OP, sorry, no answer for you and this is the first time I have seen it mentioned.

No answer here as well for the OP.

I have the 15 inch screen, and I believe we can only do all or nothing. I will have to dive deeper into that never thought about looking to change that.
When I have had a loaner(it is usually only for a day or two so I haven’t really messed with the 12 inch much) it was kind of weird for me having different sections of screen or whatever you want to call it?

I don’t see anything like that!
I thought maybe there was something under the many options in settings but I didn’t remember seeing anything!

And what the heck is THIS screen and how do I get it!!

This looks like an app specific to the Bronco. Maybe this?

I think that may be hard coded into the APIM and/or IPMA and cannot be changed with FORScan. I can't say that with 100% certainty. Maybe @Livnitup would know?

I have looked and found references to the bedcam but nothing that looked like I could change it to the tailgte camera. I never thought to ask @Livnitup directly! LOL

I'd be interested in doing the same. I'm sure he'll chime in when he gets a chance.

How many charging stops did it take you to get to Iceland? Did you have trouble finding a charger in Greenland??

A google image of the Mach-E screen shows a similar icon in the top right under the temperature.

That is the old Sync 4A screen. Notice the blue pony in the middle. We used to have the same thing on our 2022's. Those inward arrows made the main screen smaller and allowed the tiles at the bottom to be larger. All went away in Jan '23 with Sync Update 22236 (remember we got the long sought-after camera button and using knob for temperature?)

The reason I know is my son STILL has this screen. He turned off updates since he didn't want to lose the large tiles.

Just posting in case someone thought this was possible with us - or why we don't have those arrows.

I wondered if anybody would notice:
A. I was checking it out to see if I wanted to move there after we take it over.???
B. It is actually not Greenland. It is somewhere up north near Canada. I figured nobody needed to know my real location!

I saw Reykjavik and figured Iceland. Why would there be two places named Reykjavik? I guess it's Viking Springfield.?
