    Reverse Camera

    Hi all,
    I am very new to the forum (joined today).

    I have a 2014 Octavia wagon with tech pack (park pilot, sensors, sunroof ect) but no reversing camera.

    The wife and I are due to have our first baby in the next few months and she really wants a reversing camera. I contacted several Skoda dealers in NSW and they have told me I only have two options.

    1. RVC fitted and image displayed through a new rear vision mirror (w/o GPS) for around $1200-1300.
    2. Completed upgraded head unit which has RVC GPS and DVD for nearly $2500.

    Both these options seem overly pricey and wondering if anyone could reccomend any other options for aftermarkets products. I had a look around the forum but could not find much for idea with suppliers/fitters in NSW.

    Any advice would be great
    sorry if I missed a post that solved this for me.
    Cheers
    Ryan

    There are quite a few solutions in this long thread on the Briskoda forums: new feature, simply clever - Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 onward) - BRISKODA

    It starts with tailgate opening, but there's a lot about reversing cameras later. The parts and methods get refined too.

        Depends how handy you are too. I have retrofitted a RVC to my mk2 when reverse camera was never an option. Displays through std columbus head unit.

        2008 - A3 8P 1.9tdi Sportback Manual - (sold 90,000kms)

          Installing into a Mk2 is pretty easy. Only issue you need to watch out for is getting clean power for the camera.

            Hi VRsJas
            What camera did you buy? Do you have a wagon or hatch?
            Looking at putting one in my 118TSI hatch.
            Cheers
