Visionworks' Factory In-Dash kits need no external monitor. On a compatible Ford Super Duty or Ram, the trailer camera shows on the truck's own Sync or Uconnect screen. This guide covers which trucks qualify, the one plug that decides which kit you need, and how the kits differ.
Does your truck qualify?
Visionworks publishes these requirements in its In-Dash dealer flyer. The option-package lines are listed for trucks with the 12-pin plug (see the next section).
Ford Super Duty
- 2017 to 2026 model years
- Sync 3 with the 8" screen, or Sync 4 with the 12" screen
- For the 12-pin kits: the Ultimate Trailer Tow System (option 874). It is optional on XL, XLT and Lariat trims and standard on King Ranch, Platinum and Limited.
Ram / Mopar HD
- 2020 to 2026 model years
- For the 12-pin kits: the Aux Camera Prep Package (option code XFQ)
- Uconnect with the 8.4" or 12" screen
- For the 12-pin kits: listed trims Laramie, Limited, Limited Longhorn, Lone Star, Rebel, TRX, Tradesman and Big Horn
- For the 12-pin kits: dealer programming may be required if the truck was not equipped from the factory
Not sure what your truck has? Call us with the year, model and screen size before you order, and we'll check it against Visionworks' requirements with you.
The 12-pin plug decides which kit
Look at the trailer plug at your hitch. Some Ford and Ram trucks have a round 12-pin receptacle beside the 7-way. If yours does, the 12-pin kits plug straight into it. If it doesn't, Visionworks makes separate kits for trucks without the 12-pin plug. Visionworks notes that Fords without a 12-pin plug may still be able to use this system.

Wireless or wired trailer kit?
Wireless (VWFDIKT-WL, VWIKTFORD-WL, VWIKTRAM-WL). The camera mounts on a "camera prepped" RV, and a universal bracket in the box fits any trailer. Visionworks includes a booster antenna to keep the signal strong on long RVs.
Wired (VWFDIKT). A 30 ft cable runs from the hitch back to the camera. When the trailer is hooked up, it plugs into the truck's 12-pin receptacle. It's for 12-pin trucks only.
What the chassis kits are for
Visionworks describes the two chassis kits (VWIKTFORD-L and VWIKTRAM-L) as in-dash wired cameras for truck chassis. They are for a camera-ready Ford Super Duty (2017 and newer) or Ram (2020 and newer) chassis without the 12-pin plug: a 6 ft cable runs from the harness under the truck to a low-profile, heavy-duty license plate camera on the back of the truck.
FAQ
Do I need a separate monitor?
No. On a compatible truck, the camera shows on the factory Sync or Uconnect screen. That's the point of these kits.
My Ford has no 12-pin plug. Can I still use an in-dash kit?
Possibly. Visionworks makes kits for trucks without the 12-pin plug (VWIKTFORD-WL), and its flyer says Fords without the plug may still be able to use the system.
Will it work on my Ram if the dealer didn't install the camera prep?
For the 12-pin kits, Visionworks lists the Aux Camera Prep Package (XFQ) as a requirement and says dealer programming may be needed if the truck was not equipped from the factory. Call us with your truck details if you're unsure.
What's the warranty?
Visionworks lists a 3-year camera warranty on these kits.
