Reverse Camera Installation in Melbourne

Tower Audio provides professional reverse camera installation in Melbourne, including hardwired or wireless kits, screen integration, and fast service for all vehicle types.

We handle everything in-house at our Cheltenham workshop,  from selecting the right reverse camera to installation, calibration, and compliance.

What is reverse camera installation, and how does it work?

Reverse camera installation means fitting a rear-facing camera to your vehicle and linking it to a display that activates when you shift into reverse.

At Tower Audio, the process includes:

• Mounting the camera (typically near the license plate or integrated into the tailgate)
• Wiring it to your reverse gear trigger or CAN system
• Routing the video feed to a display (dash screen, rear-view mirror monitor, or factory head unit)
• Testing for clear visuals and proper guideline calibration

What types of reverse cameras are available?

You can choose from wireless cameras, wired HD systems, mirror monitors, dash-mounted screens, or OEM integration — all available at Tower Audio.

Here are the main types we install:

• Wired systems – Reliable, no signal interference, better for long-term use
• Wireless kits – Faster installs, ideal for leased vehicles
• Mirror display kits – Rear-view mirror doubles as a monitor
• Dash-mounted displays – For vehicles without screen units
• Factory screen integration – Uses your car’s built-in head unit via compatible harness

We work with brands like Aerpro, Pioneer, and more, ensuring every install is clean and compliant with Australian standards.

How much does reverse camera installation cost at Tower Audio?

Reverse camera installation at Tower Audio depends on your vehicle, chosen display, and the camera brand.

Factors that affect the cost:

• Vehicle type (sedan, SUV, ute, van)
• Reverse light wiring accessibility
• Display type (OEM integration vs mirror)
• Camera brand and resolution (e.g. 720p vs 1080p)

Tower Audio provides transparent pricing and quotes upfront — no hidden costs.

What’s the reverse camera installation process at Tower Audio?

We, at Tower Audio, follow a tested process to deliver factory-quality reverse camera installs every time.
