About the Ford Transit Custom (barn door) brake light reversing + rear view camera with 7 inch dash monitor kit

When somebody wants a reversing camera for a van, the most popular option these days is a brake light reversing camera. This is because of the following reasons:

• Easy to fit because it uses the original location and fixing method that has already been installed by the manufacturer
• No sealant required, as the new brake light reversing camera housing is fitted with a seal which is mechanically compressed against the original location of the old brake light
• The reversing camera is tidy and "factory look"

The camera supplied in this kit is special, as it is also fitted with an always on rear view camera to monitor traffic. This makes the camera system useful 100% of the driving time, instead of just when in reverse.

This particular camera kit is supplied with a 7 inch high resolution dash monitor, this is supplied with a rear bracket mount as standard but a variety of other brackets can be selected here.

Please check your brake light, this will fit the Transit customs that have the split type brake light with the LED lights (the LED's were typically installed on vans built after May 2016), if you have the normal Ford Transit, or a Ford Transit custom built before May 2016 fitted with bulb lights then we have separate listings for these.

Please note that there is a subtle difference in the finish between the original remaining light, and the new light, we have a picture of this on the listing to help your decision.

Choice of kit power options

• On the monitor wiring harness is a 2.1mm DC socket. On the drop down menu of this product, you can select your desired power lead to plug in to this.
• The standard hardwiring is supplied with all options, this terminates in a red wire (+12V/+24V), and black wire (earth).
• For the ultimate quick install is a lighter plug option. Some people also order this just for the initial setup, before changing to the standard hardwiring/fuse tap.
• Fuse taps aka piggyback fuse holders, are the most recent addition to our options. This allows you to "piggyback" off an existing circuit from your fuse box. The most common size fuse found in modern vehicles is the mini blade (size = 10.9mm wide x 16.4mm tall), older vehicles are likely to have the standard blade (size = 19.1mm wide x 18.8mm tall). Download and read our Fuse Tap installation instructions PDF for more information.
• Our fuse taps were designed by us, they have a 200cm lead that connects directly to the monitor socket with no soldering / crimping required. There is a black wire with an earth terminal attached - designed to fix to a chassis bolt/screw.  This earth wire/terminal can be separated away from the red wire to enable you to find the most convenient ground/earth (although often this is next to the fuse box).

Additional monitor bracket/mount options

We can supply a discounted additional mount/bracket for the monitor when ordered at the same time as the kit.  Please see the photo below, and make your selection using the drop down menu above the add to cart button.

See our video below for details about the brackets in the photo above.

Easy-Fit Wiring

• We have been using this type of cabling since 2007, and it has performed perfectly in all of this time. It is called the 4 pin aviation cable, and uses what is known as a 4 pin GX12 connector.
• This type of connector is very durable, and can be kept outside exposed to rain and freezing temperatures.
• It makes fitting easier, and avoids CANBUS issues due to the monitor powering the camera.
• It keeps contacts clean and dry, plus prevents them from accidental separation.
• It has become the industry standard connector, which means you aren't forced to buy future cameras/cables/upgrades from one retailer - as parts are interchangeable between numerous suppliers (although we are confident you will be impressed enough with us that you will choose us for any future upgrades/spare parts).
• All of our aviation extension cables are high quality, with the inner cores consisting of pure copper. We do not use the cheaper CCA (Copper Coated Aluminium) or CCS (Copper Coated Steel) cables, because they are more prone to failure/degradation over time.

2 Year Guarantee

We supply with a 2 year Guarantee with us, meaning we will repair or replace any non-user damaged parts that are deemed faulty.  Our failure rate is very low even beyond these two years, if you have a problem outside of 2 years we should still have compatible parts and possible repairs for reasonable amounts.

Parts Tested in the UK

The parts of this kit will have been tested twice, once by the factory and once by us.  We check all the items in the kit including all cables, trigger wires, IR leds and menu functions to reduce any chance of having a non working part.  Our fault rate is extremely low, and we just like to ensure that we avoid any imperfection slipping past.  This is why professional fitters love us.
