About the VW Transporter T5/T6 barndoor (double doors) brake light reversing camera kit with 5" display

• OEM/Factory-Fit Look - The reversing camera in this kit is designed to replace the original VW Transporter brake light. It is designed to look like the original, but with a built-in reversing camera.
• Easy Installation - This camera uses the original mounting points making it easy to secure to vehicle.
  IP69K Waterproof - This camera is rated to IP69K, a high rating to cope with the strongest torrential downpours you may experience with the great British summer weather.
• Superb Image Quality - This camera is fitted with an upgraded 4089 image sensor, which gives great colour replication and also returns a high resolution—700tvl. The camera also boasts an all-glass lens, which lasts a lot longer than the cheaper plastic-glass lens available from elsewhere (ours avoids the UV fade issues).
• Ultra Wide Angle - Our brake light reversing camera boasts a 160-degree (diagonally measure) ultra-wide viewing angle. The extra wide angle gives you the wide angle required to avoid obstacles around the rear of your vehicle.
• Excellent Build Quality - We picked the best brake light camera manufacturer and monitor factory we have come across to build these cameras to our spec. They may cost us more to bring in, but the picture quality, customer satisfaction, and reliability is worth it.
• Heavy Duty Monitor - This monitor has durable build quality. It is produced for us by a trusted factory with a very low fault rate. 
• Optional Alternative Monitor Mounting Brackets Available - See further down for a guide on the various alternative brackets that are available for fitting the 5-inch display. 
• Two-Year Guarantee - We guarantee this kit to be free from factory defects for a period of 2 years. After this period, we will endeavour to support you with spare parts, e.g., wiring harnesses, cameras, cables, remotes, brackets, etc., as well as offering low-cost out-of-guarantee repairs on the monitor where possible.

VW Volkswagen Transporter T5/T6 2003+ BARNDOOR VERSION (we also tailgate version in other listings)

Add an additional monitor bracket/mount

We can supply a discounted additional mount/bracket for the monitor when ordered at the same time as the kit.  Please see the photo below, and make your selection using the drop down menu above the add to cart button.

See our video below for details about the brackets in the photo above.

Choice of kit power options

• On the monitor wiring harness is a 2.1mm DC socket. On the drop down menu of this product, you can select your desired power lead to plug in to this.
• The standard hardwiring is supplied with all options, this terminates in a red wire (+12V/+24V), and black wire (earth).
• For the ultimate quick install is a lighter plug option. Some people also order this just for the initial setup, before changing to the standard hardwiring/fuse tap.
• Fuse taps aka piggyback fuse holders, are the most recent addition to our options. This allows you to "piggyback" off an existing circuit from your fuse box. The most common size fuse found in modern vehicles is the mini blade (size = 10.9mm wide x 16.4mm tall), older vehicles are likely to have the standard blade (size = 19.1mm wide x 18.8mm tall). Download and read our Fuse Tap installation instructions PDF for more information.
• Our fuse taps were designed by us, they have a 200cm lead that connects directly to the monitor socket with no soldering / crimping required. There is a black wire with an earth terminal attached - designed to fix to a chassis bolt/screw.  This earth wire/terminal can be separated away from the red wire to enable you to find the most convenient ground/earth (although often this is next to the fuse box).

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.
