About the VW Crafter brake light reversing camera kit with 7" mirror monitor

Brake light reversing cameras have quickly become the most popular type of reversing camera system for vans.  This particular camera kit is supplied with a 7 inch high resolution mirror monitor, designed to clip over your existing interior mirror.  The camera is designed to be added to your existing brake light camera, we have an image of the instructions that are provided.  The brackets/hole saw etc required are all included in the camera contents.

What vehicle does this fit?

VW Volkswagen Crafter 2017+

Clip over original mirror Mounting

This type of mirror monitor has spring loaded clips on the rear, instead of 4 screw holes for our swan neck brackets to fit. Ideal if you have a van with an interior mirror already fitted.

Fit to existing windscreen stub (ACCMB3)

This fits to a type of windscreen button typically found on various Volkswagen vehicles.

Add a new windscreen button (ACCMB2+button+glue)

If you have any vehicle which is missing a windscreen button then you can order this bracket kit, it comes with Loctite 319 rear view mirror bonder, this was recommended to us by a fitter who installs lots of these.

Easy-Fit Wiring

• We have been using this type of cabling since 2007, and it has performed perfectly in all of this time. It is called the 4 pin aviation cable, and uses what is known as a 4 pin GX12 connector.
• This type of connector is very durable, and can be kept outside exposed to rain and freezing temperatures.
• It makes fitting easier, and avoids CANBUS issues due to the monitor powering the camera.
• It keeps contacts clean and dry, plus prevents them from accidental separation.
• It has become the industry standard connector, which means you aren't forced to buy future cameras/cables/upgrades from one retailer - as parts are interchangeable between numerous suppliers (although we are confident you will be impressed enough with us that you will choose us for any future upgrades/spare parts).
• All of our aviation extension cables are high quality, with the inner cores consisting of pure copper. We do not use the cheaper CCA (Copper Coated Aluminium) or CCS (Copper Coated Steel) cables, because they are more prone to failure/degradation over time.

Image Sensor for Camera

This particular system uses the PC4089 1/3" Hi-Res CMOS image sensor (not to be confused with the older technology low res CMOS), this runs at 700TVL and gives a really crisp picture with a good colour replication.  We use 4xglass composite lens instead of the cheaper 2xglass, 2xplastic lenses, which cloud/fade over time due to UV exposure.  With our camera you can be assured of good performance and long term reliability. 

Monitor has Digital LCD Panel - Not Standard LCD

Our monitor uses a Hi-Res digital panel LCD screen with an 800x480 pixel display.  To complicate matters we have seen a difference in quality between 800x480 pixel panels. We only stock LCD panels that have the brightest backlights, and the best colour replication.  This costs us approx. 50% more than we could buy the monitors for, however, the reliability, picture quality, our reputation in keeping our many return customers happy, means we are willing to pay the extra (you get what you pay for!).

2 Year Guarantee

We supply with a 2 year Guarantee with us, meaning we will repair or replace any non-user damaged parts that are deemed faulty.  Our failure rate is very low even beyond these two years, if you have a problem outside of 2 years we should still have compatible parts and possible repairs for reasonable amounts.

Parts Tested in the UK

The parts of this kit will have been tested twice, once by the factory and once by us.  We check all the items in the kit including all cables, trigger wires, IR leds and menu functions to reduce any chance of having a non working part.  Our fault rate is extremely low, and we just like to ensure that we avoid any imperfection slipping past.  This is why professional fitters love us.
