2022 Pro Trailer Backup Assist 2.0 won't calibrate. Anyone get it working?

[twanger]

Just wondering if anyone else has found issues calibrating the ProTrailer Backup Assist 2.0 in their 2022 Expedition. My system simply won't calibrate. It just keeps saying "Drive Straight" and "Turn Left or Right" and never finishes that calibration, so it's non-functional. Dealer isn't seeing anything wrong, so now I have to take them my entire trailer to try to figure it out!

I'm following the directions as I read them. Sticker placement, drive forward at 2-9mph, 90-degree turns (do you need to do 180s?). 10 minutes of driving around a parking lot and still no calibration.

I see Ford finally created a video for it, but it doesn't really help at all.

Following. I’ll be setting mine up soon, a little 5x10 utility trailer. Not that I need the assistance, but it’ll be fun to try.

Following, so I can stop trying to find bigger and bigger fields to drive circles in.

Kept trying it in the street. I had to find a big parking lot. Wound up using 3 drive isles, and about 25 car slots in length for a 18' boat. Just driving around in circles.

I got mine to work on my 11' utility trailer. It really is amazing how much easier it is to back up now

I failed miserably trying with my 28’ camper. All parameters are within spec, but it kept telling me to keep driving/turning. 2 hours, 3 parking lots, and also the assistance of a retired Honeywell rocket engineer were met with no success. Haven’t tried with my 20’ boat trailer yet.

It's flustering to hear how many people are having issues, and how the tutorials/ videos are inconsistent. Multiple 2021 Ford F150 tutorials claim no more stickers and installing a module (my word - may be incorrect terminology) instead. My 2022 Expedition definitely has stickers in the packet. I am not reading anything that says the sticker is optional in the packet nor owners manual. Weather and time permitting, I will attempt to get my 6x10 Suretrac utility trailer set up this weekend and will plan to report back here my experience. Lots of Notes in owners manual about requirements during calibration including driving 2-9mph, slow steady turns, etc., so maybe those are the tricks for folks who can't get the calibration process to complete. More to come. The manual says nothing about taking trailer measurements as part of backup assist setup beyond measuring where the sticker goes, but BLIS section does talk about entering trailer measurements. I'll see what I can poke through in the menus. This is one of those times I hate that a paper owners manual isn't available - hard to read instructions for menu steps if you're reading the manual from another page of the same infotainment system.

Yes good point - I should save this link in my phone. I know I can bring my laptop out with the .pdf too - I was more ranting about Ford cost reductions than truly incapacitated.
