Aerpro APC155C Chrome Tailgate Handle Reverse Camera Toyota Hilux
Aerpro APC155C Chrome Tailgate Handle Reverse Camera Toyota Hilux
A clean, factory-matched reverse camera solution for the Toyota Hilux, the APC155C replaces the factory tailgate handle to deliver a 105° rear view with AHD 720P output, IP68 waterproofing, and a chrome finish that matches factory chrome-trimmed handles.
Product Overview
The APC155C is Aerpro's vehicle-specific tailgate handle reverse camera, engineered exclusively for Toyota Hilux models from 2015-on. It replaces the factory tailgate handle directly, providing a seamless OEM-style installation that requires no additional holes to be drilled into the vehicle. The chrome metal housing is designed to match factory chrome-trimmed tailgate handles, delivering a factory-matched aesthetic that integrates with the vehicle's original exterior styling without any visible compromise. The 105° diagonal viewing angle reduces rear blind spots during reversing and parking manoeuvres, while selectable parking guidelines (switchable via loop wire) provide visual reference in tight spaces and can be enabled or disabled to suit the driver's preference.
Video output is selectable between AHD 720P and CVBS via the loop wire, providing broad compatibility with aftermarket head units including those with AHD camera inputs such as the Aerpro AM705, as well as Aerpro Advanced Safety Vision monitors and standard RCA composite displays. The 4-pin heavy duty camera cable runs 0.5 metres from the camera to the connector, with a 10-metre extension cable included alongside a 4-pin to RCA adapter for integration with most aftermarket displays. Built with an IP68 waterproof rating and an operating temperature range of -30°C to +80°C, the APC155C performs reliably in all weather and climate conditions. The APC155C can also be adapted to display on the original factory Toyota Hilux screen using a compatible display adaptor sold separately. Pre-2020 models require the APVTY12 adaptor, and post-2020 models require the APVTY14 adaptor.
Features & Benefits
Toyota Hilux Specific Fitment: Engineered exclusively for the Toyota Hilux (2015-on), the APC155C is a direct OEM replacement for the factory tailgate handle, providing a factory-finish installation that integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's original exterior styling.
Tailgate Handle Replacement Design: The camera mounts discreetly in place of the factory tailgate handle without the need to drill additional holes into the vehicle body, preserving the vehicle's structural integrity and maintaining a clean appearance.
Chrome Finish Housing: The chrome metal housing is specifically designed to match factory chrome-trimmed tailgate handles on the Toyota Hilux, delivering a polished, factory-matched aesthetic that is indistinguishable from the original hardware at a glance.
105° Wide Diagonal Viewing Angle: The wide viewing angle reduces the blind spot directly behind the vehicle during reversing and parking, improving situational awareness and driver confidence when manoeuvring in confined spaces.
Selectable Parking Guidelines: Visual parking guidelines are switchable via loop wire during installation. The white loop wire controls guideline display and defaults to on. Guidelines can be disabled if the connected head unit provides its own overlay or if the driver prefers an unobstructed view.
AHD 720P or CVBS Video Output: Output format is selectable via the green loop wire, defaulting to AHD 720P for compatibility with AHD-capable head units and monitors. Switching to CVBS provides compatibility with standard composite RCA inputs on a wider range of aftermarket displays.
IP68 Waterproof Rating: The IP68 rating confirms full protection against dust ingress and continuous water immersion, providing reliable performance in rain, off-road conditions, and wash-down environments typical of ute applications.
Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated from -30°C to +80°C, the APC155C operates dependably in both extreme cold and high-heat environments, making it suitable for use across all Australian climates and seasons.
Chrome Metal Housing: The durable chrome metal construction provides both a factory-matched finish and the structural resilience needed to withstand the demands of daily ute use, including exposure to impact, vibration, and harsh outdoor conditions.
Includes 10-Metre Heavy Duty Cable and 4-Pin to RCA Adapter: The 10-metre extension cable provides ample reach from the tailgate to the head unit location in the cabin, and the included 4-pin to RCA adapter allows connection to standard RCA camera inputs without additional accessories.
Adaptable to Factory Screen: The APC155C can be connected to display on the original Toyota Hilux factory screen using a compatible display adaptor sold separately. Pre-2020 models require the APVTY12 and post-2020 models require the APVTY14.

- 10-metre Video Cable (4-pin heavy duty)
- 4-pin to RCA Adapter Cable
Goes Well With
The APC155C connects directly to any aftermarket head unit with an AHD 720P or standard RCA composite reverse camera input. It is compatible with the Aerpro AM705 head unit, which features a dedicated 720P AHD reverse camera input, providing a matched Aerpro system for the Toyota Hilux. For installations retaining the factory Toyota Hilux screen, the correct display adaptor must be sourced separately based on the vehicle's model year: APVTY12 for pre-2020 models and APVTY14 for post-2020 models. A trigger wire is not included and reverse trigger activation is managed through the head unit or installation harness.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the APC155C and a standard black tailgate handle camera for the Toyota Hilux?
The APC155C is identical in function and specification to its black finish counterpart but features a chrome metal housing designed to match factory chrome-trimmed tailgate handles on the Toyota Hilux. If the vehicle's tailgate handle is finished in black rather than chrome, a black finish variant may be more appropriate for a factory-matched aesthetic. Confirm the finish of the factory tailgate handle on the specific vehicle before purchase.
Can the APC155C display on the factory Toyota Hilux screen?
Yes, with an additional adaptor sold separately. Pre-2020 Toyota Hilux models require the APVTY12 display adaptor, and post-2020 models require the APVTY14. Confirm the vehicle's model year before purchasing the adaptor to ensure correct compatibility.
Does replacing the tailgate handle affect the handle's open and close function?
The APC155C is a direct OEM replacement for the factory tailgate handle, designed to maintain the original handle's functionality while integrating the reverse camera into the housing. The tailgate open and close function is retained after installation.
How do I select between AHD 720P and CVBS output?
Video output format is selected via the green loop wire during installation. The default configuration with the loop wire connected is AHD 720P. Cutting or leaving the green loop wire open switches the output to CVBS composite for compatibility with standard RCA camera inputs. Select the output format that matches the camera input type on the connected head unit or monitor before completing the installation.
Can the parking guidelines be turned off?
Yes. The white loop wire controls the parking guidelines. The default configuration with the white loop wire connected displays fixed guidelines on screen. Cutting or leaving the white loop wire open disables the guidelines. If the connected head unit generates its own dynamic parking guideline overlay, disabling the camera's fixed guidelines prevents a double overlay from appearing on screen.
