Volkswagen Caddy High-Level Brake Light Reversing Camera
Improve rear visibility with this vehicle-specific high-level brake light reversing camera for selected Volkswagen Caddy models from 2003–2015.
The camera secures into the vehicle’s third high-level brake light housing for a discreet OEM-style installation while maintaining the original appearance of the rear of the vehicle.
Its elevated position provides a useful view of the area behind the Caddy when reversing, parking or manoeuvring, making it particularly useful for vans, commercial vehicles and vehicles with restricted rear visibility.

Camera Fitment
CVC-VW-001 is designed to secure into the third high-level brake light housing at the rear of the Volkswagen Caddy.
This positions the camera high on the vehicle for a useful view behind the van while keeping the installation discreet.
Always compare the housing shape and dimensions with the original brake light before ordering.
Video Format Compatibility
The revised specification supports CVBS / AHD and NTSC / PAL configurations.
The stereo, monitor or interface must support the same video format used by the camera.
AHD supports higher-resolution video when paired with an AHD-compatible display, while CVBS is supported by many conventional analogue reversing-camera inputs.
Display Compatibility
Depending on the installation, the camera can be used with compatible:
- Aftermarket stereos with a reversing-camera input
- Standalone reversing-camera monitors
- Rear-view mirror monitors
- Commercial vehicle monitors
- Vehicle-specific factory camera interfaces
If connecting to the original Volkswagen display, an additional vehicle-specific camera interface may be required.
