About the Boyo VTS40
Back up your Sprinter
Back up your Sprinter
Keep your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van looking sharp with Boyo's VTS40 rear-view camera. You'll stay ding-free, thanks to a 120-degree wide-angle reverse view that makes backing up a breeze. The waterproof night-vision camera also includes selectable parking lines.
It's a custom fit
The camera is housed in a third brake light assembly that replaces the factory assembly without having to drill or modify the van's exterior body panels. The assembly is completely functional as a brake light, and adds a custom-looking camera mount. Boyo gives you a lengthy video cable to cover the distance from the back of your van to the video display in your dash.
Installing this camera yourself? Here's what you should know.
What does it do? Unless otherwise noted, a backup camera is only intended for use backing up your vehicle. (If you require a front-view or constant rear-view camera, check for that capability.)
What tools and supplies will I need? A panel tool, a wire cutter/stripper, a soldering iron, and a rosin-core solder with heat shrink tubing are recommended, along with whatever tools are needed to remove the radio from the dash.
How much wiring is required? Wiring instructions vary from camera to camera. Some cameras have power wiring that can only be connected near the radio. Others let you power the camera at compatible reverse lights. In all cases, the camera must be wired for power and ground, the camera's video output must be connected to the radio/monitor, and the radio/monitor must be connected to a reverse trigger in your vehicle. Some radio replacement interfaces supply a reverse trigger wire for the radio -- using that wire to power your camera will damage the interface.
Will the included video cable be long enough? You'll need to route the camera's video cable from its mounting location outside your vehicle into your vehicle's cabin and all the way to the screen in the dash. This often requires drilling a small hole in your vehicle or filing some metal and or plastic. You'll also need to estimate the length of cable needed to run from the camera to the dash, which will not be a straight shot. Each camera's cable length is listed.

Product Research
Feature
Vehicle Compatibility: The BOYO VTS40 is a backup camera designed specifically for 2007-2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans.
Notes:
- Per Boyo, it is a known issue that when you install this 3rd brake light camera you will get a defective bulb message on the dash. Boyo said the solution some installers have been doing is leaving the factory 3rd brake light in and parallel the new camera off of that. They are working on trying to find the resistance needed to prevent this error message and this work around.
- This backup camera kit is meant as a back-up aid only; never solely rely on the backup camera kit. In addition to using the backup camera kit, always look behind you to make sure everything is clear when backing up your vehicle.
Third Brake Light Housing: The backup camera features a brake light housing which replaces the third brake light on top of the van. It mounts directly into the factory third brake light location for a seamless installation and OEM look. The housing is waterproof IP68 rated.
Backup Camera: The backup camera employs a CMOS image sensor (PC3089) with a resolution of 720 (h) x 480 (v) pixels. It provides a 120° (diagonal) wide angle view behind the vehicle and a night distance up to 30' at 0.5 Lux.
Parking Guidelines: The backup camera offers parking guidelines (red/yellow/green) to help you backup into a parking spot. You can turn the parking guidelines off by cutting the white wire-loop of the camera harness.
Composite Video: The BOYO VTS40 backup camera comes with a 32.5' composite video cable with male composite video jacks on each end. One end plugs into the backup camera's 18" attached cable, while the other end plugs into your vehicle's video monitor's camera input.
