Integrated Rear View Camera for Mercedes-Benz SLK Class R171

Description

Mercedes SLK Rear Camera with Factory-Style Screen Integration

This Mercedes SLK rear camera upgrade makes reversing easier, safer, and more precise. Designed for the Mercedes-Benz SLK Class R171, it displays a clear rear image on the centre display screen as soon as you select reverse. As a result, you gain better visibility behind the vehicle while keeping a clean, factory-style appearance. Because the camera mounts discreetly above the rear number plate, it stays subtle from the outside while still delivering a wide and colourful image.

How the Mercedes SLK Rear Camera Works

As soon as you engage reverse gear, the system automatically switches the camera feed onto the centre display screen. The rear handle camera then provides a live, full-colour image with a wide 170° viewing angle, so you can see more of the area behind the vehicle.
