Yeah rear cameras in motion.
It's added in updates without any Forscan work required.

So when I get this update I'd be able to see the rear camera when I push the button and not get the message in middle of screen

Middle of screen message never goes away. You should see camera view.

Well that sucks. The message is in the spot you want to see. Why they can't put it off to the side or something. I'm not even sure why they have the button to turn it on if it's going to have a big spot dead center you can't see through.
Sure wish there was a way to get rid of the message.

I hope future update will move the message out of the way. I agree it's in a bad spot. It's not in every view though. If you have bed camera in third brake light you can switch to that and see without a message. You can also stare at the ground with the hitch view without the dumb message.

scared to start messing

I understand the hesitation, but FORScan is really easy. There are plenty of write ups and videos explaining things. I puckered my first time.

Powder coated my OEM 20s

I don't care for Ford's polished wheel finish. They look a hundred times better black. I'm a chrome guy. I sold my MY22 Platinum wheels and bought MY18-20 Limited wheels. I had them PVD chromed. These wheels would look good black also.

Forscan.. Backup backup backup!
You can always go back, but only if you have something to go back to.

I have my original stock backup and my modified settings backup.

Can experiment and roll back.

I did this FORScan mod. It's not what you might think. I found this mod only works in the off-road modes (4WD). Without it the forward camera cuts off around 6 mph. With it it doesn't, but it added goofy off-road tire tracks on the screen. At some point the tires tracks disappear. I don't know what causes this. I was cruising down the highway around 70 mph and switched to an off-road mode. The camera came on and stayed on, but the tire tracks were off.

Yeah I have an stx so I dont have bed camera. Atleast to my knowledge.

I honestly wouldn't know what to even try changing or whatever. Mines an stx so I know I don't have alot of options and don't think there's alot to unlock. Maybe I need to try browsing and see if I can find other stx owners that did stuff to theirs

Thats kind of neat. I'd put those tire tracks on mine. Lol

I have a quad fold tonneau cover I ordered should be here this week. I wouldn't mind finding some kind of tool box that would go all the way to front of my bed and it could be just under bed cover and go all the way to both sides. I'd store ratchet straps and maybe a decent jack and other stuff like that in.
