Add a backup camera to your Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
Outfit your Mercedes-Benz with a backup camera while maintaining the factory look. Access 1 Alarm & Audio specializes in quality aftermarket backup camera integration's and offers multiple solutions to fit within your budget or requirements.
Utilizing the factory navigation screen, our camera interfaces allow for multiple style backup cameras to be displayed. From the appearance of the factory looking stealth mounted cameras to the license plate frame camera with its wide view, each camera displays an outstanding high resolution color image even in low light conditions at night.
On newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles the camera integration module will display Rear Dynamic Parking Assistance Lines that move along with the steering wheel position. Further, a second video input can be used for any other composite video source, such as a FLIR Night Vision or front view camera that is activated automatically when you place the vehicle in drive or can be turned on by pressing a the "Return" button of the steering wheel controls for 3 seconds.
We have a solution for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles, unfortunately some are more expensive than others when trying to maintain a factory look due to the design of the factory radio. Some factory systems it is recommended to replace the complete radio/display with an aftermarket system due to cost considerations. Remember, not all Mercedes-Benz's are created equally.
As with all of our OEM integration's, the camera and interface come complete with a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty both parts and labor. Most installations are "Plug-n-Play" and use factory connectors to make the connections ensuring there is no need to worry about the quality of the equipment being added to your vehicle and when paired with a professional installation by our qualified technicians, the new system will provide many years of quality trouble-free use.
