Keep Your Backup Camera Clear All Winter
A backup camera is one of the best safety features on your vehicle, until frost, slush and road salt cover the lens. In a West Michigan winter that can happen before you've even backed out of the driveway. And cleaning it usually means putting it in park, climbing out into the cold and wiping it with your thumb.
ClearVU is a new winter product available at Auto Trim Group, and it fixes that problem. One tap of your factory washer fluid button sprays the camera lens clean, so you can see what's behind you again without leaving the driver's seat.
What Is ClearVU?
ClearVU is a backup camera cleaning system that sprays your rear camera clean using your vehicle's existing washer fluid and factory wiper controls. It doesn't add new buttons, batteries or wiring.
- Vehicle-Specific Kits: ClearVU makes kits engineered for specific vehicles, with a model-specific drill template, spray nozzle and hose for a clean, OEM-style look.
- Universal Option: For vehicles without a dedicated kit, aftermarket backup cameras, and farm or construction equipment, there's a Universal kit with a patent-pending "J" sprayer.
- Built for the Cold: Rated for an operating range of -41°F to 120°F.
- Made in the USA: Made in Buffalo, NY, and backed by a lifetime warranty.
How It Works
ClearVU taps into the washer system your vehicle already has. Here's how it goes in:
- Route the Hose: A hose runs from the camera to the factory washer fluid line. On trucks it runs along or through the frame rail into the engine compartment. On SUVs it connects to the rear washer line with the supplied tee fitting.
- Install the Nozzle: The vehicle-specific template puts the ClearVU nozzle in the right spot so the spray hits the lens.
- Press Your Wiper Button: Tap your factory washer fluid button and the nozzle sprays away dirt, grime, salt and debris.
That's all there is to using it. No app, no menus, no settings.

Why ClearVU Makes Sense for a Michigan Winter
- Snow and Salt: Clear the snow, salt and slush off your lens with the push of a button.
- Stay in the Cab: No more getting out in the freezing cold to wipe the camera.
- Rain, Mud and Dust Too: It handles mud, rain and dirt as well, so it earns its keep all year.
- Rated for Bitter Cold: The operating range goes down to -41°F.
- No Extra Switches: It uses the factory washer button you already reach for.
Who Is ClearVU For?
- Truck Owners: Kits for popular pickups, including the F-150, Silverado, Sierra, RAM 1500/2500, Tacoma, Tundra, Ranger and more.
- SUV, Van and Jeep Drivers: Kits for models such as the Explorer, Grand Cherokee, RAV4, Highlander, Odyssey, Bronco and Gladiator.
- Aftermarket Camera Owners: The Universal kit is made for aftermarket backup cameras.
- Farm and Job-Site Equipment: The Universal kit also covers tractors, skid steers, loaders, dump trucks and other equipment with a washer pump and reservoir.

The leather seat in my SUV was torn by my cellphone. I sent in a picture of the tear and I was given a quote via email. We set up a time and place for the repair. They were on time and the repair is absolutly perfect! I was shocked how well it matched. Highly recommend
