Add a backup camera to your Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
Outfit your Mercedes-Benz with a backup camera while maintaining the factory look. Access 1 Alarm & Audio specializes in quality aftermarket backup camera integration's and offers multiple solutions to fit within your budget or requirements.
Utilizing the factory navigation screen, our camera interfaces allow for multiple style backup cameras to be displayed. From the appearance of the factory looking stealth mounted cameras to the license plate frame camera with its wide view, each camera displays an outstanding high resolution color image even in low light conditions at night.
On newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles the camera integration module will display Rear Dynamic Parking Assistance Lines that move along with the steering wheel position. Further, a second video input can be used for any other composite video source, such as a FLIR Night Vision or front view camera that is activated automatically when you place the vehicle in drive or can be turned on by pressing a the "Return" button of the steering wheel controls for 3 seconds.
We have a solution for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles, unfortunately some are more expensive than others when trying to maintain a factory look due to the design of the factory radio. Some factory systems it is recommended to replace the complete radio/display with an aftermarket system due to cost considerations. Remember, not all Mercedes-Benz's are created equally.
As with all of our OEM integration's, the camera and interface come complete with a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty both parts and labor. Most installations are "Plug-n-Play" and use factory connectors to make the connections ensuring there is no need to worry about the quality of the equipment being added to your vehicle and when paired with a professional installation by our qualified technicians, the new system will provide many years of quality trouble-free use.

Mercedes-Benz E Class HID and LED Lighting Upgrades
Upgrade your Mercedes-Benz halogen headlights to HID lighting giving you the look and feel of the factory installed Bi-Xenon headlights. Our Mercedes-Benz kits are not the same as the cheap "too good too be true" kits found on Amazon or eBay.
Originating in Germany and designed to work with the complicated factory CAN BUS electronics of the Mercedes-Benz, our installed kits come with a 2-year "no hassle" replacement warranty. We do not use resistors that will eventually fail to "trick" the factory system into thinking that the halogen bulbs are installed as the other kits that do not work after one of our infamous winters.
Access 1 Alarm & Audio has "peace of mind solutions" for all Mercedes-Benz vehicles and can upgrade the headlight marker lights with optional LED bulbs as viewed in the before and after images located in our Photo Gallery. CLICK HERE

2007 Audi Q7 Bluray DVD Player Integration to Factory MMI System
The classy 2007-2008 Audi Q7 lacks the playback of DVD Video while in park. Access 1 Alarm and Audio offers a custom video integration module that allows 3 Audio/Video sources and a rear camera to be displayed on the factory MMI screen.
This option viewed in the photos, incorporated an external Bluray DVD player mounted in the glovebox. Upon being loaded with your movie, the unit can be controlled via a wireless remote control. Since the Audio is a closed loop MOST optical system with no external audio inputs from the factory, an optical audio interface was utilized to enable an audiophile quality audio signal to be generated on the optical system and played throughout the vehicles speakers.
The Bluray DVD player was also incorporated with the aftermarket DVD headrest system allowing for all the screens to display the same movie or 3 different movies.
The Audi Q7 integration kit is completely expandable and tailored to fit any of your needs. Examples of what you can utilize this kit for are:
- DVD video
- Bluray video
- Navigation
- Rear camera
- Front camera

Access 1 Alarm & Audio is kicking off the season with new products from Viper with added features to make your new system even more convenient and reliable to use.
So what's new?
Pretty much everything! With the new Viper Systems even the way we integrate the remote start system to your vehicle has changed. With the introduction of Viper's digital solutions no more are we going wire to wire on the newer vehicles. Today we load a digital remote start system up with vehicle specific software and connect it to your vehicles data system which will send the commands from your new remote control, factory remote control or your smartphone to start, lock, unlock, slide open the doors or pop your trunk. Further, Viper released a few vehicle specific T-harnesses that allow for up to 70% of the wires to be now plug and play with factory plugs. We just unplug your factory harness, plug it into the Viper harness and the reinsert the Viper harness into your factory plug location. This ensures a reliable connection that will not come undone and makes for a cleaner looking installation. Your mechanic or dealership will love us!
