You don't until they send out an over the air update. For some reason the stickers don't work with sync 4 yet. You'd have to rely on the module that came with your truck for now. Don't know why.

Where was your sticker at when you took delivery? I have this yaw sensor package with equipment, but I’m not seeing any checkered sticker.

Supposedly, you don't need the sticker anymore.

We need the sticker if we have more than one trailer (which truck supports) OR we want a simpler more elegant solution than extra components and wiring all zip tied to our hitch.

The sensor should be the alternative for those that 1) use a 5th wheel or gooseneck, 2) don't have a hitch with a flat surface for a sticker. It should NOT be forced and we shouldn't have to move it from trailer to trailer. (truck supports memory for multiple trailers)

I’m curious if the sticker works better/worse/same as the full yaw sensor install. I have a single boat trailer which also has a flat area to install the sticker. Does the full sensor give any additional benefits over slapping a sticker on and calling it a day?

I cannot think of any? I had twice where my cord was partly resting on my sticker and it couldn't find it but I don't anymore as I just route it on the other side of the tongue jack. The sticker even works at night, it is reflective and very visible using the tailgate LED.

I have my measurement card ready and everything to just enter to my new truck, with same trailer. I'm annoyed I have to mount this sensor and secure a cable. It is not the end of the world but why bother when I had a working clean solution.

I UNDERSTAND THAT....My truck came with stickers and clearly says in the manual the the over the air download will enable the stickers....the sensor that came with me truck works great. I got 4 trailers and don't want to buy 3 more sensors at $155.00 a piece !!!!!!

OK I need a group effort on this. If you are on FB go here https://www.facebook.com/ford/ and send a private message about the trailer backing stickers and the over the air download not working on the 2021. I have had my problem escalated to Truck experience care rep (what ever the hell that is ) I think if we all complain enough we will get something done

Will i sent an extensive email explaining the problem with the sync 4 and trailer backing stickers not working ON MY 2021 F-150. She promised me a call on tuesday of last week. when she called she asked what problem i was having with MY 2017 F-250????? I asked her if she even read my email. Then I asked her if she was familiar with the pro backing system..."she said what is that"....I about lost it on the phone. She promised to get back with me two days later after she would do some research . She called yesterday and asked me if had gotten my stickers working and she would be glad to help me on inputting my measurements for the stickers to work!!!! ...This time I did lose it. I have now filed a complaint with the BBB. I wish more on this forum would help do something making Ford at lease acknowledge that they have a problem with the sync 4 system. I understand they appear to be working on the problem but i cant even find anyone at ford that understands the problem. I will keep trying. After filing the BBB complaint I was told that someone from corporate might give me a call. I will fill their ears !!!! Once again i am shaking all in the igroup to complain about the sticker problem. if enough do Ford will do something.

They have been clear that the stickers will work with an upcoming update. It ain't here yet.

Finally got an answer from my dealer on the sticker OTA download
2021 F-150 vehicles equipped with the Pro Trailer Backup Assist (PTBA) with Trailer Reverse Guidance System include a Quick Start Guide with a trailer sticker as a loose item in the vehicle. As stated in the Quick Start Guide, a software update is necessary to enable the PTBA sticker setup. Ford Motor Company is pleased to inform you that this software update is expected to be deployed to vehicles using an over-the-air software update at no charge to connected vehicle owners in the fourth quarter of 2021. To ensure vehicles are capable of receiving over-the-air software updates, customers should make sure their Vehicle Connectivity Settings are set to ON. All affected vehicles also include a PTBA sensor kit that can be used instead of the sticker, and the sensor kit currently is and will remain fully functional. Refer to EFC09227 for additional information.
