Volkswagen Amarok RNS-315 Rear Camera Retrofit
Make reversing your Volkswagen Amarok easier, safer and more controlled with a Volkswagen Amarok RNS-315 rear camera retrofit. The system integrates with the compatible RNS-315 display and automatically shows a clear, full-colour rear image when you select reverse gear.
Because the Amarok is a larger vehicle, the area directly behind it can be difficult to judge from the driver’s seat. Therefore, the camera provides a wide view of kerbs, walls, posts, parked vehicles and other nearby obstacles.
In addition, the rear handle camera sits discreetly above the number plate, so it maintains a clean and integrated exterior appearance. Meanwhile, the RNS-315 integration removes the need for a separate aftermarket monitor inside the cabin.
As a result, the system adds practical reversing assistance while preserving the factory-style appearance of the vehicle’s interior.
How It Works
When you select reverse gear, the control module automatically activates the rear camera and switches the compatible RNS-315 display to the live image.
The camera provides a wide 170° viewing angle, allowing you to see more of the area behind the Amarok. Therefore, you can judge the available space more easily when reversing into garages, loading areas, parking bays or narrow driveways.
Furthermore, the high-quality CCD image sensor provides dependable image performance during everyday use. The 0.01 lux minimum illumination also improves visibility in darker locations such as underground car parks, workshops and driveways at night.
Automatic white balance adjusts the image as lighting conditions change. In addition, the temperature-resistant construction supports reliable operation through varying weather conditions.
Once you move out of reverse, the RNS-315 screen automatically returns to the display that was previously in use.
