Ford Transit Custom Reversing Camera Kit to fit 2012-05/2016 (Bulb Brake Light Version) vans - 7" Display | PM69BLG
Reversing Camera Kit to fit the smaller Ford Transit Custom Vans brake light. Coupled with a 7 inch display and designed to fit the 2012 to May 2016 models fitted with a bulb, which unclips from your old housing and inserts in to the new brake light camera housing.
This listing is for our brake light reversing camera kit with 7 inch monitor to fit Ford Transit custom vans that have the brake light built into the doors which splits into two parts when the doors open, if you have a normal Transit with the large single brake light then you are on the wrong listing, please navigate here instead. We stock various alternative mounts for this type of monitor including quick release, suction (for temporary fixing), and ceiling-mounted (see Monitor Brackets).
We have two versions depending on when the vehicle was produced. This listing is for those vans made before May 2015 the split type brake light camera and fitted with the bulb version, after May 2015 the vehicle was upgraded to the LED version.
Brake light cameras have become the most popular method by far for panel van owners to fit a reversing camera into their vehicle, mainly due to the ease of fitting, and the "factory look" they provide.
This camera is supplied with approx 1ft fly lead with a 4-pin aviation connector at the end. We prefer the 4-pin version because it means a monitor can provide power to the camera, and this avoids CANBUS issues that can occur if taking power from the reverse light. The monitor we use provides power down an all-in-one screw together cable making fitting easy.
We use a high res image sensor, namely the 1/3" PC4089 700TVL sensor. Coupled with a 2.6mm 4 layer glass lens (some cheaper cameras use 2xglass 2xplastic which eventually turn cloudy due to sun exposure) to give approximately 130° diagonal field of view.
The camera has some up/down adjustability, however it can't be angled high enough to give a view back down the road.
The camera has IR LED's to provide night vision, we find the modern large image sensors like the 1/3" PC4089 perform very well in low light levels, so you can expect a nice picture both day and night.
Additional Monitor Bracket Options
To add a discounted price additional monitor bracket to your product bundle, please see the descriptions/photos below. We also have a YouTube video showing the various bracket options below.
ACC035 - "Butterfly" Bracket option
So called because the base looks like a pair of butterfly wings. Fitted with an adhesive pad on the base, peel the protective layer off and stick to your clean dashboard. Additional screws can be used if you feel it needs reinforcement. The square nut fits in to the channel of your monitor, whilst there is a screw to the rear of the bracket that will then screw in to the square washer until it locks the two together.
ACC041 Quick Release Bracket option
The quick release bracket is one of the most popular bracket options. The bracket has a removable mounting plate that attaches to the rear channel of the monitor. This plate can then slide in to the bracket that is mounted to the dashboard and locks. To release, simply pull back the thumb switch at the rear, then slide the monitor up and out. Our monitors have disconnect points around a foot away from the monitor to allow it to disconnect. A bracket that makes initial install a little quicker, as well as allowing more adjustability in positioning of the display. Adhesive pad base for sticking to clean dashboard with bendable feet.
ACC705B - Heavy Duty Rear Mount Bracket Option
The most sturdy of all of our rear mounted dash mounts, all metal design. Monitor slides on to the bracket, which has a rear adjustment rotational wheel to lock the monitor to the bracket. Self adhesive base, with bendable "feet" for curvy dashboards. You can add screws if required.
ACC038 - Suction Mount Bracket Option
Only designed for temporary mounting eg. moving a monitor from one vehicle to another. This bracket has strong suction, people are often shocked by how strong it is. We use these when we road test new monitors for temporary mounting. A ball joint allows for good adjustment to give the monitor the optimum viewing angle.
ACC20540 - "Banana" Ceiling Mount Swan Neck Bracket Option
The ceiling mount bracket is a very sturdy and adjustable bracket mount for the monitor in this kit. Two screws secure this to the ceiling or plastic trim of the vehicle. The other side attaches to the channel on the back of the monitor and secures with a twist of the locking wheel. Release the tension by turning the hand screw knob on the left to allow the ball joint to rotate clockwise and anticlockwise, or up/down/left/right. These have been a very popular option since they were introduced.
Power Connection Options
You have the option to add additional leads that plug in to a DC socket on the monitor wiring harness. You will always be supplied with the standard power wire, which gives you a red wire and a black wire to solder / crimp to a power supply.
On the drop down menus you will notice there are two options selectable. One to add a lighter plug, one for a fuse tap. Scroll down for details on each option.
Lighter Plug
Selecting this option adds an additional lighter plug lead - attaches to a socket on the end of the 300cm monitor wiring loom/harness. Some people order this option just to try out there new kit before hardwiring permanently.
Fuse Tap (Mini blade, Standard blade)
Selecting this option adds an additional easy-wire fuse tap lead with built in earth terminal connector.
We designed and had this product produced in 2023, and they have been very popular. We wanted to create something that meant our customers could hardwire a reversing camera system to their vehicle with ease and minimal tools. Fuse taps have already become popular for installing dash cams, so we wanted to make them more popular for reversing camera kits too.
Usually fuse taps have no earth terminal connector and require crimp tools to connect to your wiring - our easy wire fuse tap kits are different. They come supplied with 2M of twin wire (power + earth) attached. The wires can be pulled apart should you wish to earth to an area far from the fuse box.
Choose a fuse that's active when the ignition is on. Remove the original fuse and place it in the empty slot of the fuse tap. The correct rated fuse for the new camera system is supplied already installed in the correct slot. Install the fuse tap (with the two fuses fitted) in to the fuse box (where you removed the original fuse). Lastly, connect the earth terminal to a chassis bolt or screw (or add a new bolt/screw to secure it).
The mini blade is the most commonly seen fuse size on modern vehicles.
Standard blade used to be the most common fuse size installed, and is still commonly seen, even on very recent vehicles.
