A booster carries the signal from the back of a long rig to the screen. With a Guardian, it takes the range from up to 30 m to up to 60 m.
Which kits does the booster work with?
Guardian, every size from 6 to 26 tyres. The Aura A6 Tow Pack already has one in the box.
Can I add the booster later?
Yes. Add it with your Guardian, or buy it on its own later. It's $80.
How do I fit the booster?
It mounts on the van, about 1 metre off the ground, and wires to the vehicle's power. The steps are on our set-up and troubleshooting page.
