Purpose and function in the vehicle

The described module is a component from the Trunk lids and rear parts category, mounted in the rear of the vehicle. It is responsible for:

• mechanical opening of the trunk lid via an integrated handle,
• transmitting the image from the rear-view camera to the vehicle's multimedia system,
• assisting the driver during reversing and parking in tight spaces.

Combining the handle and camera into a single unit ensures structural consistency of the rear bodywork and maintains the aesthetic appearance of the trunk lid.

Construction and technical advantages

The handle unit with a rear-view camera has been designed specifically for the C205 body style, taking into account the geometry of the lid and factory mounting points. As a result:

• installation is similar to the factory process, with no structural modifications required,
• the correct position of the camera relative to the vehicle's axis is maintained, facilitating precise maneuvering,
• the electrical installation can be connected to the existing vehicle wiring harness, in accordance with the factory layout.

This solution helps maintain the functionality of reversing assistance systems at a level comparable to factory installation.

Product condition and service application

The item comes from the secondary market, making it an attractive alternative to new components for post-accident or maintenance repairs. In practice, it is particularly useful in situations where:

• the trunk lid has been damaged and it is necessary to replace the complete handle with the camera,
• the rear-view camera has stopped working or suffered mechanical damage,
• there is a need to restore full functionality of the reversing system after body and paint repairs.

Using an original module from the secondary market allows for reduced service costs while maintaining the factory assembly concept.

• supports safe maneuvering in city traffic, underground parking lots, and narrow spaces.
