Frequently Asked Questions
Does this camera retain the factory brake light function?
The G177V replaces the factory high-level brake light housing. Confirm with the F.A.E. team whether the brake light function is retained — retaining a functional high-level brake light is a legal requirement in Australia.
What extension cable is required?
A 4-pin camera extension cable is required to run from the camera at the rear of the Caddy to the monitor in the cab. The length required depends on your specific routing — contact the F.A.E. team for guidance on the correct extension cable.
What Volkswagen Caddy years does this camera fit?
The G177V is confirmed for the Volkswagen Caddy 2005–2015 (Mk2). The 2015+ Caddy (Mk3 facelift) may have a different brake light housing — confirm with the F.A.E. team if your Caddy is a 2015 or later model.
Is this the same camera as the G176V for the Transporter?
Both the G177V and G176V are Volkswagen-specific 4-pin brake light cameras with identical specifications (170-degree, IP69K, PAL, CMOS). The difference is the brake light housing shape — the G176V fits the Transporter T5/T6/T6.1 twin rear door; the G177V fits the Caddy (2005–2015). They are not interchangeable.
Does this camera have night vision LEDs?
The supplier data does not confirm infrared LED inclusion for the G177V. Minimum lux rating is listed as N/A. Contact the F.A.E. team to confirm low-light performance before purchasing if this is a critical requirement.
