Aerpro APC161D Dual Brake Light Camera Fiat Ducato 2006-2021
A clean, OEM-style dual reverse camera solution for the Fiat Ducato, the APC161D replaces the factory brake light housing with two 720P AHD-capable cameras and includes everything needed for a complete installation on twin rear door configurations.
Product Overview
The APC161D is Aerpro's vehicle-specific dual brake light reverse camera kit, engineered to suit Fiat Ducato models from 2006 to 2021. Designed to replace the factory brake light housing, the installation requires no drilling into the vehicle, producing a clean, factory-appearance result that is indistinguishable from the original brake light position. Two complete camera sets are included, providing comprehensive rear vision coverage across twin rear door configurations common to the Ducato van body style.
Each camera delivers a 105 degree diagonal viewing angle to reduce rear blind spots during reversing and parking, with selectable parking guidelines that can be enabled or disabled via loop wire during installation. Video output is selectable between AHD 720P and CVBS via loop wire, providing broad compatibility with aftermarket head units and Aerpro Advanced Safety Vision monitors. The green loop wire controls AHD or CVBS output (default AHD), and the white loop wire controls parking guideline activation (default on). Each camera is supplied with a 10-metre heavy duty 4-pin video cable and a 4-pin to RCA adapter for straightforward integration with most aftermarket displays. The IP68 waterproof rating, ABS housing, and operating temperature range of -30°C to +80°C ensure reliable performance in harsh automotive environments. Note that the APC161D is not compatible with factory head units and cannot be adapted to connect to the original factory radio.

Goes Well With
The APC161D is compatible with aftermarket head units that accept AHD 720P or CVBS reverse camera input, including Aerpro head units such as the AM705 which features a dedicated 720P AHD camera input. For installations using a CVBS-only head unit, the selectable CVBS output via the green loop wire ensures compatibility. Aerpro Advanced Safety Vision monitors are also a compatible display option for fleet or commercial vehicle installations where a separate monitor is preferred over a head unit display. Note that the APC161D is not compatible with factory head units.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this kit include two cameras?
The APC161D is a dual camera kit designed specifically for Fiat Ducato variants with twin rear doors, where a single camera in one door would leave the other door's blind spot uncovered. Two complete camera sets allow independent coverage of each rear door, providing comprehensive rear vision across the full width of the vehicle when reversing.
Does the APC161D require drilling into the vehicle?
No. The APC161D is designed as a direct OEM replacement for the factory brake light housing on the Fiat Ducato (2006-2021), installing into the existing brake light position without any additional drilling or body modifications.
Can the APC161D be connected to a factory head unit?
No. The APC161D is not compatible with factory head units and cannot be adapted to connect to the original factory radio. It requires an aftermarket head unit or monitor that accepts AHD 720P or CVBS reverse camera input.
How do I select between AHD and CVBS output?
The green loop wire on each camera controls the video output mode. When the green loop wire is connected (default), the camera outputs AHD 720P. When the green loop wire is disconnected or cut, the camera switches to CVBS output. This selection is made during installation to match the input type of the connected head unit or monitor.
Can I turn off the parking guidelines?
Yes. The white loop wire on each camera controls the parking guideline display. When the white loop wire is connected (default), parking guidelines are displayed on screen. When the white loop wire is disconnected or cut, guidelines are disabled. This selection is made during installation based on driver preference or head unit capability.
