Ford Customer-placed Trailer Camera + TPMS kit for 2023?

[SteveG_TX]

Hi all - I'm trying to order the customer-placed "GENUINE FORD TRAILER-MOUNTED TRAILER CAMERA + TPMS" kit for my 2023 F250 tremor.

Can anyone confirm that the 2022 kit will continue to work with 2023? Most of the parts sites I've found say it's not compatible (example) - but I found one thread, unconfirmed, where someone installed the 2022 kit with no issues. The Ford part number I keep finding is LC3Z1A189-A . If anyone out there has installed this one on a 2023 SD and it worked, please let me know. If i decide to give it a try I'll update this thread too. Thanks.

Update 1: It looks like there are kits that work with Sync3, and some (like what I want) that work with Sync4. So the link above might actually be a Sync3 truck which would mean it's not going to work for me.

Update 2: i think the kits that end in -A will work, while the -D kits are for Sync3. About to order one and find out. But would still love to know if someone else has already done this!

The 22 parts do work on the 23. I removed from my 22 before i traded it in and installed on my 23 when I got it. No issues here.

Excellent, thank you @Joeram44 - I ordered my kit today (the -A one) and will update back here in a few weeks when I get it set up & share my experience.

Is the wiring already in place? On an xlt with tailgate cam only currently. Looking to add box cam to a headache rack to hook up gooseneck trailer. Will a second camera come up in sync 4 screen, or will it have to be programmed? Thanks In advance, new to this

I have been wondering what the difference is since the 2023 order guide came out. There is no longer an option for trailer TPMS and camera. One or the other and not both. Same with ordering it from Ford Accessories. Seems really silly because anyone doing road trips with a resonably sized trailer should want both.

With my 2022 truck I ordered the combined kit and installed it on my Trailer. For the 2023, (now 2024) truck I decided that TPMS was more important to me than the camera so I ordered that. If Ford ever builds me a truck, I am going to plug it into the trailer and see what works. I do not want to have to rewire the trailer for the newer truck because I plan on keeping both and want the option to pull the trailer with either truck. The 2022 is a SYNC3 because XLT was the highest trim available for a standard cab dually and the 2024 is a Platinum with SYNC4 so I could be screwed.

Partial update but really the part that’s relevant for this audience: installed the kit and it was very easy. Snap-in replacement for the 7/4 pin wiring harness plug in the bumper. Tested the camera and it works immediately and easily. Very helpful instructions that were basically unnecessary but reassuring at the F150 lightning forum. The key info is:

Step 2: Order parts. I used Full Kit Part# LC3Z-1A189-A. The LC3Z kits are for a F-250, but it worked just fine. There's also part numbers for the F-150 specific and will start with ML3Z. The part number is the same "1A189" It's just ML3Z vs LC3Z to indicate F-150 vs F-250. SoML3Z-1A189-A is the exact same kit with a different part number.

The last letter will dictate whether it's TPMS only, Camera only, TPMS+Camera, or Yaw Sensor or not. The plug replacement is the same for all of them, only the harness and accompanying modules differs. My "A" kit accommodates all of the modules and included everything but the yaw sensor (aka w/ Pro Backup Assist)

"A" is Cam + TPMS w/ Yaw Prep
"B" is TPMS w/ Yaw Prep
"C" is Cam w/ Yaw Prep
"D" is Cam + TPMS w/o Yaw Prep
"E" is TPMS w/o yaw Prep
"F" is Cam w/o yaw Prep

Next up for me is wiring this into my airstream in a way that’s not ugly and adding in the TPMS and Yaw setup to test the whole thing. I’ll share the final runthru video when it’s all set up! The image quality and just convenience of the setup is going to be hard to beat - you can split screen the new rear cam (left image in attachment) with the existing trailer / side mirror camera (right image) all on the big display.

Very helpful. Keep it coming

Hey, I purchased a tremor off the lot and the window sticker says "CSTMR TRL CAM *CSTMR INST ACCY 475.00" but nothing extra came with the truck. I didn't realize this till I got home. Is this a wiring thing or should it (whatever that is) come with the truck? Thanks!

Yes, you should have gotten a box with the camera, trailer wiring harness and a replacement trailer connector for the truck in it.

This is what should be in the box

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm going to be picking up my 24 F250 Lariat Ultimate Tremor next week finally. I'm not sure if it has Yaw Prep though. I didn't see that as an option or any kind of "Pro Trailer Backup Assist" when ordering. If I'm wanting all three items (Yaw, TPMS, Camera), I'm assuming I'd need to order "D" and I'd get all three, right?

 

[sadester30]

It looks like the Lariat Ultimate package includes the "Pro Trailer Backup Assist", so I'm assuming a Yaw sensor will come with that. What's weird is both the "A" and "D" part numbers do not suggest a yaw sensor is included in the description nor is it in the picture. Either way, I'll order the "D" since it's the same price and if I wind up with an extra yaw sensor that's fine. I have other trailers.
