Ford F-150 / F-250 / F-350 SYNC 3 Caravan & Trailer Camera Integration
A camera at the rear of your caravan or trailer provides a different perspective from the camera fitted to your truck. Bringing that external view onto your original Ford screen can make your towing setup more convenient without adding another dashboard monitor.
NAVIPLUS Melbourne offers caravan and trailer camera integration for selected Ford F-Series vehicles fitted with compatible factory SYNC 3. Supported installations can display a compatible external camera and allow selection between the factory reverse-camera view and the towing-camera view while in Reverse.
View Your Towing Camera on the Factory Ford Screen
The integration uses your existing compatible SYNC 3 display to show an external caravan, trailer or horse-float camera.
Your original screen and dashboard appearance are retained. With the appropriate interface and installation, you can select the camera source needed while reversing.
Available switching controls and retention of existing camera functions are confirmed for your vehicle’s exact configuration.
Which Ford F-Series Vehicles Are Supported?
The package is intended for selected vehicles fitted with compatible factory SYNC 3, including:
Ford F-150.
Ford F-250 Super Duty.
Ford F-350 Super Duty.
Ford F-450 Super Duty.
The listing’s year guide covers 2017–2020, plus selected 2021 variants. The fitted infotainment system must be confirmed, particularly for 2021 vehicles.
Model name and build year alone do not establish compatibility. Send a clear photo of the powered-on factory screen, together with details of any infotainment upgrades or camera modifications.
Switching Between Factory and Towing Cameras
A compatible installation allows selection between the factory reverse-camera view and the external camera view while the vehicle is in Reverse.
On supported configurations, the selected towing-camera source is remembered until ignition-off. After the vehicle is restarted, the interface returns to the original camera source.
This source-memory function relates to camera selection. Continuous viewing while driving requires separate confirmation for your exact interface and installation.
The switching method and supported behaviour are confirmed before ordering.
Key Features of the Compatible Package

Already Have a Caravan or Trailer Camera?
Your existing camera may be suitable, but compatibility needs to be checked before ordering an interface or cable adapter.
Matching connectors alone do not confirm suitability. The video signal, camera power requirements and wiring arrangement must also match the proposed installation.
Send NAVIPLUS:
Camera brand and model.
Video format, if known.
Camera supply voltage.
Clear photos of the camera and connectors.
Details of existing vehicle and trailer cables.
Details of any wireless transmitter, receiver or monitor.
Wireless camera equipment requires assessment as part of the complete setup.
Optional Camera and WOZA Trailer Cable Pack
If you need new equipment, ask about the optional heavy-duty NTSC camera and WOZA trailer cable pack.
The camera, vehicle-side connection and trailer wiring should be assessed together. Include photos of existing sockets and cables if you would like to retain any fitted equipment.
Cameras, cables, accessories and installation are included only where specified in your quotation.
Continuous Viewing and Horse-Float Monitoring
Tell NAVIPLUS how you intend to use the camera before selecting a package.
Your requirements may include:
Viewing behind a caravan when reversing.
Switching between factory and external camera views in Reverse.
Continuous rear-camera viewing while driving.
Viewing inside a horse float.
Continuous viewing and horse-float monitoring require separate confirmation. Support depends on the exact interface, camera arrangement and installation configuration.
Include whether you need a view inside the float, behind it, or both when requesting an assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my original Ford screen be replaced?
No. This integration displays a compatible external camera through your existing factory SYNC 3 screen.
Can I retain the factory reverse camera?
A compatible installation can provide selection between factory reverse and external camera views while in Reverse. Retention of existing camera functions must be confirmed for your vehicle and interface.
Does the selected camera stay selected?
On supported configurations, the selected towing-camera source is remembered until ignition-off. The system returns to the original camera source after restart.
Does camera-source memory mean continuous viewing?
No. Source memory determines which camera source is selected. Continuous viewing while driving is a separate function that must be confirmed for your setup.
Will this fit a 2021 Ford F-Series?
Selected 2021 variants may be supported. The actual infotainment system and camera configuration must be checked before compatibility can be confirmed.
Can I reuse my existing caravan camera?
Possibly. Send its brand, model, video format, supply voltage and connector photos so compatibility can be assessed.
Are a camera and trailer cable included?
Only where specified in your quotation. Ask about the optional heavy-duty NTSC camera and WOZA trailer cable pack.
Does the compatible package require coding?
No vehicle coding is required for the compatible package. Vehicle and camera suitability still need to be confirmed before ordering.
