About the Twin Lens Ford Transit Mk8 2014+ brake light reversing / rear view camera kit with 7" mirror monitor

We have had the single-lens version of this camera for a number of years now, we were frequently told by customers that they would love an option to view behind whilst driving (like our twin-lens cameras), well after some development with one of the factories we use we are finally able to offer this fantastic solution. Two cameras in a tidy "factory look" housing, the old light is removed, then the new brake light camera is fitted. Run the cable to the monitor, supply power and that is it (we even do a lighter plug option to make it even easier if required.

• Twin Lens brake light reversing and driving rear view camera to fit Ford Transit Mk8 vans built between 2014 and present.
• Top quality 7 inch rear view mirror monitor display, with options to either clip over existing mirror, or attach directly to the windscreen fitment.
• Swan neck brackets are selectable depending on the metal windscreen fitment/button that is present on your van. 
• If you have nothing present, we can supply a swan neck bracket that allows you to add a fitting/button (with loctite 319 glue).
• 2 Year Guarantee with the specialists - Reversing Cameras UK Ltd.

What vehicle does this fit?

Ford Transit 2014-Present

Ford Transit Tailgate Version 2014-Present

Please note :- if you have a small Transit custom with the split type brake light, then this won't fit (we do carry the split Transit Custom brake light on other listings).

Mirror Monitor Mounting Options

We stock a number of different mounting options for the mirror monitor, depending on what you currently have fitted to your van. Kindly note that if you choose any mount other than the clip-over original mirror, and your van has a plastic trim cover that hides the metal mirror mount button, this will need to be removed and won't fit back on without modification. See the image below that was sent in by Rori of the 1-inch section he removed with a Dremel multitool so that it could fit back on.

Clip over original mirror option (Default)

This type of mirror monitor has spring loaded clips on the rear, instead of screw holes for our swan neck brackets to fit.  Ideal if you have a van that already has an interior mirror fitted. This option requires no modification to any trim.

ACCMB2 Option - Fit to OEM Ford windscreen button (Type 1 - Most Common)

This is the most commonly seen windscreen button fitted to various Ford Transits, especially on vehicles without auto wipers/lights. Selecting this option will mean your monitor is changed to a type that accepts windscreen mount swan neck brackets, and the bracket below will be provided in the kit.  *Kindly note that if you have a plastic trim cover that hides the metal button, this will need to be removed and likely won't fit back once the bracket is in position. Although we have been told that this isn't too much of an issue since the mirror monitor mostly hides this anyway.

ACCMB2 + MP35 Option - Fit to OEM Ford windscreen button (Type 2 - Hex Shape Version typically vans with auto lights/wipers)

This is the type we expect to see on Ford Transit vans that are fitted with either auto lights or auto windscreen wipers. A hexagonal shape, an OEM mirror would have mounted on with a quarter turn twist clockwise. This option includes our mounting plate 35 (MP35) which turns the hex shaped metal windscreen plate in to the Ford slide down plate for the ACCMB2 bracket to attach to.

ACCMB2 + Button + Glue - Adds a new Ford windscreen button to vans without one

If you have no metal windscreen button to attach our bracket to, then you can add your own.  This option provides the Ford windscreen stalk, plus the Ford windscreen button, as well as the Loctite 319 glue.  Please see our instructions on how to glue a mirror button to the windscreen.  *Kindly note that if you have a plastic trim cover that hides the metal button, this will need to be removed and likely won't fit back once the bracket is in position. Although we have been told that this isn't too much of an issue since the mirror monitor mostly hides this anyway.

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).

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.

Image Sensor for Cameras

This particular system uses the PC4089 1/3" Hi-Res CMOS image sensor (not to be confused with the older technology low res CMOS), this runs at 700TVL and gives a really crisp picture with a good colour replication.  We use 4xglass composite lens instead of the cheaper 2xglass, 2xplastic lenses, which cloud/fade over time due to UV exposure.  With our camera you can be assured of good performance and long term reliability. 

Monitor has Digital LCD Panel - Not Standard LCD

Our monitor uses a Hi-Res digital panel LCD screen with an 800x480 pixel display.  To complicate matters we have seen a difference in quality between 800x480 pixel panels. We only stock LCD panels that have the brightest backlights, and the best colour replication.  This costs us approx. 50% more than we could buy the monitors for, however, the reliability, picture quality, our reputation in keeping our many return customers happy, means we are willing to pay the extra (you get what you pay for!).

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.
