Utilise Your Safety Dave Caravan Camera with Your Factory Screen

If you want to integrate your existing Safety Dave caravan camera with your factory screen, we’ve got you covered! This kit includes the hardwire cable as standard, but you may need additional items depending on what’s already installed on your caravan.

Step 1: Check Your Camera Type

  • AHD or CVBS Format?
    • AHD Camera (January 2023 or later): You’ll need an AHD to CVBS converter ($120).
    • CVBS Camera (Before January 2023): No converter is needed.

Step 2: Do You Already Have a Car Kit?

Step 3: Check Your Drawbar Plug

Look at the plug on your caravan’s drawbar to determine what else you need:

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, there is a plug behind your cluster panel that can be utilised.

You will require a Ford dealer to activate the trailer AUX camera function and some dealers cannot activate the caravan camera to work above 8km/h.

A forscan tool will also activate the above but please note that you will void your car warranty if a forscan tool is used.

Please also note that if your Ford is a cab chassis model then unfortunately there is no integration option.

Ford’s 24.5 touring pack includes pre-installed wiring under the glove box. If your vehicle has 360° cameras, it likely includes this wiring and a pre-installed trailer camera icon in the software.

For other Next Gen Ranger / Everest vehicles with Sync 4, there is a plug behind the cluster panel for connecting a trailer camera. If you require this plug, Ford will need to activate the trailer camera function in the head unit.

Yes you can check your vehicle for the wires as they are located underneath your glove box (pictures below):

Our workshop tests show that only CVBS NTSC cameras are compatible with the Ford Factory screen. If your camera is AHD, our converter will change the video signal from AHD to CVBS. Please note that there will be a slight drop in quality.

Our standard kit includes an extension cable and an adaptor that connects directly to the drawbar plug. This is not a curly cord setup, which typically involves having a socket on your caravan, another on the back of your car, and a curly cord to connect the two.

If you prefer a curly cord setup, we recommend the WOZA kit with the Safety Dave Adaptor.

That’s fine, please reach out to us with as much information as you can obtain and we can guide you in the right direction. The details below will help us determine what other parts you need:

  • When was your Safety Dave camera installed?
  • What type of plug do you have on the drawbar (if unsure, you can also take a photo and send it to us via text: 0483 930 453 or email: sales@polarisgps.com.au)
  • Were you given the rest of the Safety Dave kit from the caravan manufacturer or do you have any cabling for the car?

Take a photo of your caravan camera and the plug on your A-frame or drawbar. Text it to us at 0483 930 453, and we’ll assess it and give you advice on compatibility.

While we haven’t specifically tested this setup, it should work in theory with a dedicated switch.

We can create a custom module with two camera inputs, including hardwire cables to connect directly to the Ford wiring. Additionally, we would provide extra wires to create an output for your switch.

The type of switch required will depend on your Ranger or Everest model. Some models come with spare AUX switches that can be used. If your vehicle doesn’t have AUX switches, you may need to purchase a compatible dash panel and switch separately.

Here’s how it would work: You’d activate the caravan camera via the Next Gen screen, and the switch would allow you to toggle to the other camera lens.

The custom module is approximately $400.00, and you’ll need to factor in any additional components to integrate it with your Safety Dave Dual Camera system.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like more information.
