Integrated Rear View Camera Upgrade for Volkswagen Jetta 5C
Make reversing your Volkswagen Jetta 5C easier, safer and more precise with this integrated rear view camera system. The Volkswagen Jetta rear camera automatically displays a live rear image on the centre screen as soon as reverse gear is selected. As a result, you gain a clearer view behind the vehicle while maintaining a clean, factory-style appearance.
The camera mounts discreetly above the rear number plate, so it remains barely visible from outside the vehicle. At the same time, it provides a wide, full-colour view that helps you identify kerbs, low obstacles and other hazards sooner. Interactive parking lines also help indicate the vehicle’s expected path, making it easier to judge your direction while reversing.
Rather than adding a separate monitor, the system integrates with the vehicle’s compatible centre display. Consequently, the completed installation looks neat, practical and well suited to the original interior.
How It Works
As soon as you engage reverse gear, the system automatically switches the vehicle’s centre display to the live rear camera image. The rear handle camera then provides a full-colour view with a wide 170° viewing angle, allowing you to see more of the area behind the vehicle.
Interactive parking reference lines appear over the camera image and help show the expected path of the vehicle as you steer. Therefore, you can better judge whether the vehicle will remain clear of nearby obstacles while reversing into a parking space or narrow driveway.
In addition, the high-quality CCD image sensor provides reliable image quality in a wide range of conditions. The 0.01 lux minimum illumination improves visibility in darker areas, while automatic white balance helps maintain natural colours as the surrounding light changes.
