Aerpro APC170 Brake Light Reverse Camera Renault Trafic X83
Aerpro APC170 Brake Light Reverse Camera Renault Trafic X83
A clean, OEM-style reverse camera solution for the Renault Trafic X83, the APC170 replaces the factory brake light housing to deliver a 105° rear view with AHD 720P output and IP68 waterproofing without drilling a single hole.
Product Overview
The APC170 is Aerpro's vehicle-specific brake light reverse camera, engineered exclusively for Renault Trafic X83 models from 2011-2014. It replaces the factory brake light housing directly, providing a seamless OEM-style installation that requires no additional holes to be drilled into the vehicle. 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 and a foam gasket to ensure a weatherproof seal at the mounting location. Built from ABS housing with an IP68 waterproof rating and an operating temperature range of -30°C to +80°C, the APC170 performs reliably in all weather and climate conditions. Please note that the APC170 is not compatible with factory head units and cannot be adapted to connect to the original factory radio.
Features & Benefits
Renault Trafic X83 Specific Fitment: Engineered exclusively for the Renault Trafic X83 (2011-2014), the APC170 is a direct OEM replacement for the factory brake light housing, providing a factory-finish installation that integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's original exterior styling.
Brake Light Housing Replacement, No Drilling Required: The camera installs within the factory brake light position without the need to drill additional holes into the vehicle body, preserving the vehicle's structural integrity and maintaining a clean appearance.
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, wash-down, and demanding commercial vehicle environments.
Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated from -30°C to +80°C, the APC170 operates dependably in both extreme cold and high-heat environments, making it suitable for use across all Australian climates and seasons.
Robust ABS Housing: The camera housing is constructed from ABS plastic, providing a lightweight yet durable enclosure that resists the impacts and vibration of daily commercial vehicle use.
Includes Foam Gasket: A foam gasket is included to create a weatherproof seal between the camera housing and the brake light mounting location, preventing water and dust ingress at the installation point.
Includes 10-Metre Heavy Duty Cable and 4-Pin to RCA Adapter: The 10-metre extension cable provides ample reach from the rear of the vehicle to the head unit location in most van and commercial vehicle configurations, and the included 4-pin to RCA adapter allows connection to standard RCA camera inputs without additional accessories.

Goes Well With
The APC170 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 Renault Trafic X83. Note that the APC170 is not compatible with the factory Renault Trafic head unit and cannot be adapted to connect to the original factory radio. An aftermarket head unit is required for this camera to function. A trigger wire is not included and reverse trigger activation is managed through the head unit or installation harness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the APC170 compatible with Renault Trafic models outside the X83 2011-2014 range?
No. The APC170 is specifically engineered for the Renault Trafic X83 from 2011-2014. Trafic models outside this year range or in different generations use a different brake light housing profile and are not compatible with this camera. Confirm your vehicle's model generation and build year before purchase.
Is the APC170 compatible with the factory Renault Trafic head unit?
No. The APC170 is not compatible with factory head units and cannot be adapted to connect to the original factory radio in the Renault Trafic X83. An aftermarket head unit with a reverse camera input (AHD 720P or RCA composite) is required for this camera to operate.
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.
What is the foam gasket for?
The foam gasket is included to create a weatherproof seal between the APC170 camera housing and the factory brake light mounting location. It prevents water and dust from entering the mounting aperture around the camera body, which is particularly important in a commercial vehicle environment where the rear of the vehicle is frequently exposed to rain, road spray, and wash-down conditions.
