VW Volkswagen Crafter 2017+ Reverse Parking Camera Kit for Brake Light with 7" Mirror Monitor
If you are looking for a retrofit factory look reversing camera for your VW Crafter van, then look no further. Our version comes from our most respected brake light camera supplier, and is based on their winning lens/image sensor combo - the PC4089 image sensor and quality all glass composite lens (unlike the commonly found cheaper plastic/glass versions that fade over time with UV from the sun causing a gradually worsening picture).
This brake light reversing camera kit fits the following vans:
VW Volkswagen Crafter 2017 - Present
This camera has the following advantages :
Great Image Quality - We don't settle for the base spec when it comes to this brake light camera. We have the 4089 700tvl image sensor fitted, which is paired with a top quality all-glass composite lens. The image sensor is one of the most important components for ensuring a colourful, sharp, and high dynamic image. We select all glass lenses instead of cheaper glass-plastic composites, because over time plastic containing lenses would fade from UV damage. No such issue with our all-glass lenses.
IP68 Waterproof Protection - This reversing camera is rated to IP68 water/dust ingress protection. This will keep the camera protected in even the worst wet and stormy weather the Great British weather can throw at it, or indeed on your trips across the continent.
130°(H) / 160°(D) Ultra Wide Angle - Due to the external lens fitted to this camera, you are able to have a greater field of view, which is very helpful when reversing. External lenses can achieve wider field of view compared to those mounted behind a glass cover.
Top Quality High Resolution Display - Our 7 inch mirror monitor display gives a good quality image thanks to it's 800x480 pixel digital hi-res LCD panel. Fitted with the best quality LCD panels for great colour replication and a sharp, clear picture.
Most Popular Location for Fitting a Monitor - The position of the interior mirror is where we naturally look when we wish to see what is behind us.
2 Year Guarantee - We believe that our brake light reversing cameras come from the best factory, the factory is so sure of their own product that they fully support our highly respected two year guarantee. We find the fault rate very low from them, but should anything happen in your first two years of ownership, we will provide a replacement.
IR Night Vision - This camera is fitted with IR LED's that activate when it becomes dark. IR light is beyond the visible spectrum of the human eye, so you won't be blinding anyone behind you with light. The camera will see it, and use it to see obstacles behind your van when it is dark. Another bonus about our external lens is not having the IR LED's behind a glass lens cover. This means you get a really good contrast at night time, with none of the haziness sometimes seen with glass lens cover versions.
Maintains a Tidy Factory Look - This brake light reverse camera was designed to fit perfectly where the OEM brake light used to be. If you didn't tell anyone, most people would assume it was a factory addition.
Fitting Accessories and Instructions Provided - This camera is supplied with the bracket, gasket, hole saw, instructions and parts required to add the camera to the top of your existing brake light.
Choice of mirror monitor mounting options :
- Have a mirror? Choose our clip-over mirror option, we will supply you with a rear view mirror monitor that clips over your existing interior mirror.
- Don't have a mirror but have a metal button on the windscreen for one? Choose our ACCMB3 swan neck bracket option, we will supply you with our swan neck bracket compatible rear view mirror monitor + a swan neck bracket to fit to the windscreen button/stub/metal plate commonly found on most VW Transporter vans.
- Don't have a mirror and don't have a metal button on the windscreen? Choose our ACCMB2 + Button + Glue option, we will supply you with the bracket compatible monitor, a Ford Button to bond to the windscreen, Loctite 319 windscreen button adhesive to bond the button up, as well as full instructions on how to mount a windscreen button with Loctite 319 adhesive. We have researched videos, reviews, and manufacturer recommendations to provide the best instructions available to get the job done correct, first time.
Installation and Power Options:
- Easy installation with various power options that plug in to a socket on the monitors wiring harness/loom.
- Single power connection powers the entire system.
- Standard hardwiring ALWAYS included even when adding the additional connector options.
- Choose a lighter plug for the easiest plug and play solution. Some customers order this just for testing purposes before using one of our hardwiring options (fuse tap or bare wire) afterwards.
- Choose one of our fuse taps for an easy hard wire installation. We have had them designed so that one end plugs in to the monitor power socket on the end of the wiring harness, whilst on the other side of the 200cm lead has a mini blade or a standard blade fuse tap aka piggyback fuse holder, as well as a chassis earth/ground terminal fixing (find a screw/bolt connected to bare chassis and fix to this). See our downloadable PDF instructions on how to install a fuse tap/piggyback fuse holder to your vehicles fusebox.

Power Connection Options
You have the option to add additional leads that plug in to a DC socket on the monitor wiring harness. You will always be supplied with the standard power wire, which gives you a red wire and a black wire to solder / crimp to a power supply.
On the drop down menus you will notice there are two options selectable. One to add a lighter plug, one for a fuse tap. Scroll down for details on each option.
Lighter Plug
Selecting this option adds an additional lighter plug lead - attaches to a socket on the end of the 300cm monitor wiring loom/harness. Some people order this option just to try out there new kit before hardwiring permanently.
Fuse Tap (Mini blade, Standard blade)
Selecting this option adds an additional easy-wire fuse tap lead with built in earth terminal connector.
We designed and had this product produced in 2023, and they have been very popular. We wanted to create something that meant our customers could hardwire a reversing camera system to their vehicle with ease and minimal tools. Fuse taps have already become popular for installing dash cams, so we wanted to make them more popular for reversing camera kits too.
Usually fuse taps have no earth terminal connector and require crimp tools to connect to your wiring - our easy wire fuse tap kits are different. They come supplied with 2M of twin wire (power + earth) attached. The wires can be pulled apart should you wish to earth to an area far from the fuse box.
Choose a fuse that's active when the ignition is on. Remove the original fuse and place it in the empty slot of the fuse tap. The correct rated fuse for the new camera system is supplied already installed in the correct slot. Install the fuse tap (with the two fuses fitted) in to the fuse box (where you removed the original fuse). Lastly, connect the earth terminal to a chassis bolt or screw (or add a new bolt/screw to secure it).
The mini blade is the most commonly seen fuse size on modern vehicles.
Standard blade used to be the most common fuse size installed, and is still commonly seen, even on very recent vehicles.
