Install Aftermarket Reverse Parking Camera & Monitor

Postby Tranny McTranface » Sun Jul 02, 2017 2:18 pm

Has anyone installed an aftermarket reverse parking camera and monitor on a Ford Transit Mk8?

Can anyone give me any advice on where to take a supply from and where to tie-in the reverse switch wire for activating?

Not on a Mk8, but on mine, the camera power comes from the N/S reversing light bulb directly, and the monitor is powered from the cig lighter socket, via a switch as my sockets are permanently live :wink:

I've done it in my custom. It will be the same unit in the transit. Works really well day or night... it was the first mod I did.
