Reverse camera feed

Postby Potter1982 » Thu Jan 19, 2017 4:46 pm

Hello does anyone know of another way of getting an reverse feed power supply in the cab of a ford transit mk8 instead of running another wire to the rear reverse lights?
Many thanks

Not off hand but if you go to www.etis.ford.com and put your can details in, you should be able to download bemm, it has lots of useful info and may tell you where to connect at the dash :-)

Just got my transit custom, i got gifted a reversing camera which is the integrated into the top level brake light, this is fine, the wiring has been put through the van and it appears that this model of camera has both power connectors run through the cab instead of a reverse light power lead then a single cab mounted power lead for the monitor. Does anyone know a way to get these to work from the cab? I have tried powering from 12v socket adapters from halfrauds but they don't seem to be able to power up the screen, it did work when i ghetto tested it on a power pack.

Idea's for wiring much appreciated, don't fancy completely removing the dash because it's my work van not solely a pleasure vehicle.

Cheers.

Hello Fraggle17 I took a feed from the drivers side 'a' pillar for the reverse feed and got one of those fuse taps for the ignition live to the screen

Hi Potter1982, did you get sorted?

I fitted my reverse park camera and rear view mirror monitor this week and it works a treat so give me a shout if you need a hand.

Any chance of helping me out with a pic of which wire and it’s colour?

So far everyone’s saying “ it’s over there”
