Frequently Asked Questions
Does this camera retain the factory brake light function?
The G172V replaces the factory high-level brake light housing. Confirm with the F.A.E. team whether the brake light function is retained — retaining a functional high-level brake light is a legal requirement in Australia.
How does the built-in microphone work?
The G172V includes a built-in microphone that outputs audio via the white RCA connector on the connection cable. Connect the white RCA to the audio input on a compatible display monitor to hear ambient sounds from behind the vehicle. Not all monitors support audio input — confirm your monitor has an RCA audio input before relying on this feature.
Is the 10m cable sufficient for the Transit VO?
The 10m total cable (0.7m camera lead + 10m extension) is sufficient for most standard and medium-wheelbase Transit configurations. For long-wheelbase Transit models, measure the routing distance before purchasing.
What is the difference between the G172V and the G163V — both fit Ford Transit vans?
Both are Ford Transit brake light cameras. The G163V covers 2013–2017 and uses a CMOS sensor with IP69K rating. The G172V is specifically for the Transit VO (2014–2017) and uses a 1/3-inch CCD sensor with IP68 rating plus a built-in microphone. The G172V is the higher-spec camera (CCD over CMOS, microphone included); the G163V has higher IP protection (IP69K vs IP68). Contact the F.A.E. team to confirm which fits your specific Transit model year and build.
Does this camera fit the Transit Custom?
The G172V is specified for the Ford Transit VO (2014–2017 full-size Transit). The Transit Custom has a different body design — it is not confirmed as compatible. Contact the F.A.E. team to confirm fitment for Transit Custom models.
