Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • VIC Hidden Dash Cam (1080p)

    I bought one of these since I like the idea of a completely hidden install. (I have the black one, not the cream)

    Hidden Wifi HD 1080P CAR Crash Dash Camera FOR Audi A4L A5 A6L A7 Q3 Q5 BF 13Y | eBay

    ...but as it turns out the rake of the windscreen (and the trim bits) in the Cabriolet are different and short of taking to the stock part and this with a Dremel to try and create something that works it seems I'm out of luck.

    I paid $100 a week ago, I'm looking to get $80 back.

    If you're picking it up I'm even happy to help you install the thing

    Pickup 3137 or Melbourne CBD. Can talk post elsewhere if needed.

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

    This looks like a nifty idea!!!
    I had a look and it appears the versions you needed were VW-01 or VW-02 (with rain sensor).
    This looks like what you should have received; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...08.4.27.QzCoGO

      I think you're right, something I didn't catch.

      So I originally found and searched for cameras for the Golf:
      CAR Dash Camera Hidden Wifi HD 1080P 12V ACC FOR VW Tiguan Golf Bora Polo Jetta | eBay

      And on that page it says if you have the rain sensor you need the VW-02 and it provides a link, which lands on the page I posted above and which I bought.

      Reading all the various items was doing my head in since they seem to talk about Golf, Bora, Passat, Tiguan somewhat interchangeably... Given the pictures looked about right and that many VW/Audi/SEAT/Skoda parts are the same I ordered a black one...

      In any case, I've just requested a return/swap for the correct model so we will see what they say.

      If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

        How do you rate the quality of these Chinese stuff ? Aaron
        I recently bought one of these, inspired by facebook
        https://www.cardashcampro.com/produc...-black-or-blue.
        It's working, but quality is poor. I'd wonder how long it'll last
