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,

  • Superb Reversing Camera RVC

    Hi all,
    Just thought I let you know that I got my RVC working. Not all easy but for $140 it was worth it.
    If you have any questions, i'll see if I can help.

          I did have get the dremel angle grinder to cut a bigger hole in the rear door. I will take some photos and post them.

          But I was told by the Skoda dealer that a camera was impossible to fit and get working in the Superb.

            Bleh, I don't think it'll work on my Bolero. Still interested though! Might provoke me into a head unit upgrade.

                was it "plug'n'play".......drilling and routing aside?
                obviously need the vcds coding.
                how about the guiding lines - r they dynamic? i.e. bend while turning?

                  No moving / guiding lines. The requires another electronics box and a special set up. Yes, it needs to be coded.

                      Looks good mate. Good to see you had a crack. I know all about this as I installed exactly the same camera on my R36 wagon. Getting through the area where the hinge is turned out to be bigger than you know what, but I eventually got there. The new superb's look alright. Wouldn't mind getting the missus one when they come onto the second hand market.

                        I installed an Audi A1 RVC in my Octavia, meant I didn't have to cut anything from the existing boot handle hole. Not sure if this would be same size as the one in the Superb...but the RVC I got initially was too big and would have required a bit of Dremel work.

                              On the wild assumption that it works the same way as the VW versions...

                              The lowline kit (which is what you have here) is essentially a camera that plugs into your head unit, the coding simply tells it that it's there and to switch to that view when you're in reverse.
                              On the Golf there is three wires, power, ground and a trigger wire. It looks like the same three wires in that eBay link so it looks to be the same sort of setup.

                              Other than running it through, it's pretty simple to install and I highly encourage people to give it a bash yourself!
                              I did my write up a couple of years ago into a Cab, but it's essentially the same thing:




                              The highline kit comes with a whole extra box in between that also connects to the CANBUS. It's not really any harder to install but it gives you the turn-ey lines IF your steering wheel has the bits to allow that to work. I've only installed that once into a Amarok which as it turn out did have the required bits, but it's something worth looking into before you drop the extra cash.

                              From all I understand it's impossible to calibrate the lines correctly either through VCDS or even at the dealership for a retro fitted system. Mind you I haven't ever had the opportunity to compare a calibrated factory install vs a DIY job. so I don't know how accurate (or not) the lines would be.

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