Volkswagen Crafter Brake Light Reversing Camera (1080P AHD) | CAM981-AHD
The CAM981-AHD Brake Light Reversing Camera is a clean, factory-style upgrade for the Volkswagen Crafter (2017–present).
It mounts directly onto the existing OEM brake light unit, keeping the original light fully intact while adding a discreet, high-definition reversing camera.
This design gives you a sharp, wide rear view without changing the vehicle’s appearance.
Please note: This 1080P AHD brake-light camera is only compatible with monitors that support an AHD video signal. It is not suitable for most factory radios or older CVBS-only displays.
For the standard-definition CVBS version, please see our
