Ford Ranger PX2 / PX3 SYNC 3 Caravan & Towing Camera Integration | 2017–2020

Connecting a caravan or trailer changes the view you need when reversing. A camera mounted behind the Ranger cannot show the same perspective as one positioned at the rear of your caravan.


NAVIPLUS Melbourne offers caravan and towing camera integration for supported Ford Ranger PX2 / PX3 vehicles fitted with compatible factory SYNC 3. View a compatible external camera through your original Ford display while retaining the dashboard’s existing appearance.


Can a Caravan Camera Use the Ranger’s SYNC 3 Screen?


Yes. A compatible interface and installation can display a caravan, trailer or horse-float camera on your Ranger’s original SYNC 3 screen.


With the appropriate configuration, you can select between the factory reverse-camera view and the external camera view while in Reverse. Switching controls and retention of existing camera functions are confirmed for your exact interface and vehicle setup.


This allows you to use the screen already fitted to your dashboard without adding a separate camera monitor.


Key Features of the Compatible Package


  • Compatible external camera viewing on the original SYNC 3 display.


  • Selection between factory reverse and external camera views while in Reverse, with a compatible installation.


  • Original dashboard appearance retained.


  • No separate dashboard monitor required.


  • No vehicle coding required for the compatible package.


  • A 12-month product warranty, subject to terms.


Vehicle compatibility, camera suitability and supported viewing modes must be confirmed before ordering.


Already Have a Caravan or Trailer Camera?


Existing equipment may be suitable, but the camera and its connections need to be assessed before reuse can be confirmed.


Matching connectors alone do not establish compatibility. The video signal, camera supply voltage and wiring arrangement must suit the proposed interface.


For an assessment, send NAVIPLUS:


  • Your camera’s brand and model.


  • Video format and supply voltage, if known.


  • Clear photos of the camera and connectors.


  • Details of existing vehicle and caravan cables.


  • Details of any wireless transmitter, receiver or monitor.


If the camera specifications are unknown, send photos of its labels and the existing monitor’s model details to help identify the equipment.


What About Wireless Caravan Cameras?


Wireless camera kits require individual assessment. Compatibility cannot be confirmed simply because the kit includes a receiver or has a connector that appears to match.


Include the brand and model of the complete wireless system with your enquiry.


Need a Camera and WOZA Trailer Cable?


If you need new camera equipment, ask about the optional heavy-duty NTSC camera and WOZA trailer cable pack.


The proposed package should account for the camera, vehicle-side wiring, trailer connection and any existing cables you intend to retain. Photos of the current sockets and connectors help NAVIPLUS assess the installation requirements.


Cameras, cables, accessories and installation are included only where specified in your quotation.


Reversing, Continuous Viewing or Horse-Float Monitoring?


Before choosing an interface, explain when and where you want to see the camera image.


You may need:


  • A rear caravan view when reversing.


  • Selection between the Ranger’s factory camera and an external camera in Reverse.


  • Continuous rear-camera viewing while driving.


  • An internal horse-float monitoring view.


These requirements need different consideration. Support for an external camera in Reverse does not, by itself, confirm continuous viewing while driving.


Available viewing modes, switching controls and retention of existing camera functions are confirmed for your selected interface and installation.


Which Ford Ranger Models Are Supported?


This package is intended for supported Ford Ranger PX MKII / MKIII, commonly referred to as PX2 / PX3, fitted with compatible factory SYNC 3.


The listing’s 2017–2020 year range is a guide. The actual infotainment system must be checked before ordering, particularly if the vehicle has received a screen replacement or aftermarket upgrade.


For a compatibility check, send:


  • Your Ranger model and build year.


  • A clear photo of the factory screen while powered on.


  • Details of factory and aftermarket cameras.


  • Caravan-camera specifications and connector photos.


  • Your required viewing modes.


Confirm Your Package Before Ordering


Your quotation confirms the equipment and installation included in the proposed setup.


Check that it identifies the interface, any supplied camera, cable pack, switching controls, accessories and installation charges. If you plan to retain existing equipment, its suitability also needs to be confirmed.


This helps ensure the package matches both your Ranger’s fitted system and your towing-camera requirements.


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 keep the factory reverse camera?


A compatible installation can allow selection between the factory reverse camera and the external camera while in Reverse. Retention of existing camera functions is confirmed for your vehicle and selected interface.


Will my existing caravan camera work?


Possibly. Compatibility depends on its video signal, supply voltage, wiring and connection arrangement. Send the camera specifications and connector photos before ordering.


Can I use a wireless camera kit?


Wireless equipment requires assessment. Include the camera, transmitter, receiver and monitor details so the complete system can be checked.


Can I view the caravan camera while driving?


Continuous viewing must be requested and confirmed before ordering. Availability depends on the exact interface and installation configuration.


Can this support horse-float monitoring?


Include details of the view you need, such as inside the float or behind it. The camera arrangement and viewing requirements must be assessed before a package is confirmed.


Are the camera and cable included?


Only where specified in your quotation. An optional heavy-duty NTSC camera and WOZA trailer cable pack can be discussed.


Does the compatible package require vehicle coding?


No vehicle coding is required for the compatible package. Vehicle and camera compatibility must still be checked.
