Is there an aftermarket TPMS for trailer tires that interfaces with the Ford dash (Sync 3, etc.)?

Does anyone have knowledge about the "Individual Trailer TPMS/Customer-Placed Trailer Camera" (Order code 653) that is available on the 2017 Super Duty? If the TPMS part were available separately this would be just the ticket for me. However, my Airstream TT will have a rear view camera already so I won't need the camera part of Ford's offering.

 

Sounds pretty slick. Factory integrated TPMS and trailer bumper cam.

I was using the TST monitor several years back when I was running ST class tires. The old system with big sensors on upgraded metal valve stems. Had a tread separation, and even tho the tire diameter increased by like 2-3", it didn't set off a PSI alert. Thankfully, it didn't explode, and I noticed it at the next fuel stop.

How is the factory camera connected?
None of the off the shelf wireless cameras would work for me; figured the distance (31') and the aluminum works pretty well at shielding the signal.

Ended up using an RVS wired kit. Has a threaded connector pigtail between trailer and TV. Going on 4 years, works great.

 

The camera on the Airstream comes factory installed. It connects wirelessly to a monitor that you place in the cab of your tow vehicle.

The one that is available as an option on the 2017 Super Duty trucks I'm not certain about. One of the promo videos indicates that it is user installed with a wire harness of some sort that connects to your in-dash Sync 3 system through the pigtail connection at the rear of the truck.

Hey... Nice Blog!

 

My 2008 owners manual mentions factory wiring for a bumper cam, but at the time the dealer said Airstream for some reason, was not actually offering it.

Thanks! It started off as just a way to update friends and family.. fun stuff

 

Both the trailer camera and TPMS are available from Ford to work with the Ultimate Trailer Package. Both systems are hard wired; camera to the tow vehicle and TPMS module to the tow vehicle.
