Anpher Rear View 170° HD Night Vision Backup Camera

Anpher's Rear View 170° HD Night Vision Backup Camera is a plug-and-play OEM-style reverse camera engineered to replace the factory unit on 2016–2018 Ford Explorer models (GB5Z-19G490-C / GB5Z-19G490-A) and deliver a wide, clear view for safer parking and reversing.

This camera is built to match the original equipment fit and finish while improving visibility with a 170° ultra-wide lens and HD night-capable imaging. It connects using the factory 6-pin connector so there’s no permanent modification to your vehicle’s wiring, and the camera housing uses durable ABS with IP68 waterproofing for reliable outdoor performance. Whether you need better sight lines in tight parking spots or clearer night-time feedback on your center display, this unit offers a direct replacement option that preserves factory appearance and steering-guided trajectory lines when supported by your vehicle.

How does this camera improve visibility when reversing?

The Anpher camera expands the driver’s field of view to 170°, reducing blind spots behind the vehicle and providing a high-resolution image on the factory center screen. It uses a wide-angle lens and image processing tuned for clear detail in both day and night conditions.

• 170° ultra-wide field of view captures more of the rear and adjacent lanes.
• High-definition imaging offers sharper object outlines for easier distance judgment.
• HD night-vision capability improves low-light clarity when reversing after dusk.
• Reversing guidelines display on the OEM screen to assist with maneuvering.

Is this camera compatible with my Ford Explorer and how does it install?

This unit is specifically designed for Ford Explorer model years 2016, 2017, and 2018 that use part numbers GB5Z-19G490-C or GB5Z-19G490-A. It uses the factory 6-pin connector and an OEM-style interface for a straightforward swap that maintains the vehicle’s original look.

• Direct replacement for GB5Z-19G490-C and GB5Z-19G490-A factory cameras.
• Plugs into the vehicle’s existing 6-pin port — no cutting or splicing required.
• No coding or module reprogramming typically needed for basic video and guide-line functions.
• Designed to preserve factory mounting points and trim for a flush fit.

What should I know about durability and weather resistance?

The camera housing is formed from robust ABS plastic and sealed to IP68 standards to resist water, dust, and road debris. The build is intended for exterior automotive use and long-term exposure to changing weather conditions.

• ABS material resists impact and automotive environment wear.
• IP68 waterproof rating keeps the camera operational in rain and car washes.
• Sealed connectors and corrosion-resistant contacts for reliable signal transfer.
• Long service life expected with normal vehicle use and maintenance.

How do the dynamic guide lines work with steering input?

When installed in an Explorer that supports steering-guided graphics, the camera provides dynamic reversing lines that rotate in sync with the steering wheel. This visual feedback helps anticipate the vehicle’s rear arc while backing into tight spaces.

• Guide lines rotate based on steering angle when supported by the vehicle’s system.
• Lines help predict rear trajectory for parking and obstacle avoidance.
• Line functionality depends on whether the original car was equipped with this feature.
• Works through the OEM display for an integrated driver experience.
