After masking off most of the bright aluminum reflection points I again tried to calibrate my Pro Back Up Towing system. (2020 Max with Kendon Motorcycle tow rack). It did not work well.

So now trying to reinstall a new sticker on a temporary larger mount (Wood) and try again. If that does not work will bring Max with trailer to the dealer to check re camera calibration / function.

Did more testing and got decent results by doing some quick and DYI mounting of the label. Used some plywood, claps and some painter tape. I placed the sticker in the mid point of the 7" to 22" range. Before the sticker was at the minimum range of 7". Trailer is a Kendon motorcycle ride on trailer and the car a 2020 MAX.

Plan is to fab up some metal plate to mount the sticker permanently.

Some photos to show what I did.

But seriously, I’ve got three different trailers programmed into mine, and the only time mine has problems finding the sticker is when the camera lens is dirty.
