Pretty sure you have to have a dealer activate it.

Had to replace a 2013 Taurus camera and everything I came across said that even replacing an existing camera required dealer activation to recognize the new camera (which I had the dealer replace in the end)

Or you can use Forscan to activate it. Dealer will charge for doing it.
