Hi...My name is Peter. I have a 2016 New Age caravan with a Safety Dave rear camera. It does the job but it's not a sharp picture. I'd like to upgrade it to one that has two cameras. One for following traffic and one pointed down to check how close obstacles are when reversing. The vehicle (Ford Wildtrak), is modern and the camera display is integrated into the vehicles nav system negating the need for a dash mounted monitor. I only need to buy a camera to replace the average one. Any advice which would be compatible? I suspect I could just ask Ford Dealer but thinking someone has already done the same upgrade. Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks!

I will presume you have a Next Gen.
There are camera connection wires in the LH kick panel. It can only take one camera of standard definition. Two is not possible
My understanding is you will need an adaptor module to connect a Safety Dave camera. Safety Dave sell that
On the dash camera selection screem there is a selection to display an auxiliary camera.
I have done this in my Wildtrak and am happy with it.
Yes Marked Man, it is next gen. The camera is all connected and working ok. I have on my trailer and on the caravan. Same curly cable for both. The camera on the van's a bit fuzzy tho. I was hoping to upgrade it to a double camera. One for behind view and one for down view. As far as having more than one camera goes...the research I've done is that it is achievable. Pls excuse this lengthy excerpt explaining the process which I got from the web:
"Use the "OK" button on the steering wheel to cycle through camera views while driving forward.
System Capabilities: These kits typically support up to three active cameras while driving and one dedicated input for reverse.
Operation: A long press of the "OK" button generally switches between different camera angles (e.g., rear caravan camera vs. side-view), while a short press reverts to the standard infotainment screen.
360 Camera Integration: For models equipped with factory 360-degree cameras, these systems can integrate with the existing setup, allowing you to switch between the factory bird's-eye view and aftermarket trailer cameras."

I'll probably have to stump up the $200 for this one. I was looking for a cheaper alternative.
