Installation checks

Verify that the camera housing matches the dimensions of your number-plate light recess before ordering. The package supplies a 6-metre video cable and a 1.5-metre power cable for routing from the tailgate to the front display. Connection uses a universal RCA plug; an extra adapter may be required for a factory radio. The unit operates on 12 volts DC and is rated IP67.

Who this suits

Buyers with an aftermarket monitor will get a clear 170-degree view with 1000 TV-line resolution. The camera works in temperatures from -40 to 70 degrees Celsius. It is not suitable for owners who plan to keep the original factory display, as the supplier notes compatibility issues with those screens.
