Couldn't one disconnect the system from the OBD-2 port, manually charge the battery, and have a device that flashes LEDs at a person too close to the vehicle, perhaps avoiding a problem?

You'd have to hack it.

When the system went offline, the device kept trying to connect until the battery died. That reset the unit.

To activate monitoring you have to control the unit with the app. The app no longer connects to the unit, so you can't reactivate monitoring.

It would make sense if Ford bought them for the software with a plan to eventually integrate the hardware into a new image processing module and use the hi mount camera.
I think we’re going to see the results of the Canopy purchase in the near future.

Glad I was able to help with my 2023 that gets nothing now lol.
Yeah that sucks. So the question is, can the 2024 Camera be retrofitted or is Ford going to have a surprise for all of us. Is the 2024 camera different at all.

That’s what I’m wondering.

Yeah - well I noted what I did because it looks like Ford released the same version of the app to the Beta testers as they did the general population at the same time. That doesn't usually happen.

This looks a lot like what I linked from the Ford website. The first post says nothing about a OEM Ford ordering option.
