Rear view camera for tiguan - install completed

[aussietig]

Just out of interest, what is normally on the LHS of the screen?




Presumably it houses some sort of additional icons to select from?

But mine is just blank.

Can anyone with factory fitted RVC in say the new Tig confirm?

[aussietig]

Ok just found out the answer myself:



Suppose to show the top view of the car.

Anybody who retrofitted the RVC getting this additional display option?

Or is it just me with this problem?

I'm still trying to make mine work.

I've noticed some people have wires sticking out from the cable that connects from the camera to the rns510?

The one I've got, just has a thick cable with a blue plug that runs into the back of the runs, no additional wires.

The other cable I've got had a plug on it and was told to cut it off? It reveals brown, yellow & red wire.

Do I have the right camera and cable?
Dammit!!
Lucky I got it for free.

Will add picture of camera and cable asap.

That is if you have the ops for parking. You get that extra display if you enable the rvc in electronics rather than navigation. If you don't have ops, then only enable navigation rvc, else enable both navigation rvc and electronics module for ops rvc.

I do have OPS. So based on your response, I need to re-look at my VCDS coding again (and probably electronics module).

Thanks!

u need a newer firmware to get that top view option. i got it when i updated mine last year.

[aussietig]

Well I'm using FW 3970. That should be new enough.

Just need to work out what's missing with my VCDS coding.

Ok fellas ... sweet success!

Bloody thing was harder to find than Osama Bin Ladin.

Of all places, to enable OPS to appear together with RVC on screen (if you have both) requires ticking an extra box in Module 10 - Park/Steer Assist. Makes perfect sense now (the location) in hindsight!


Prior to doing this, I only did this coding in Module 37 - Navigation:




And only got this when I select reverse gear:




Then had to press the RVC icon on screen to get this:




Now when I did this in Module 10, Byte 0, Bit 5:




I now get this automatically when I select reverse gear (i.e. no need to press RVC icon):




And also a big fcuking grin wider than Steve Tyler.

Time to retire!

how come u got no green lines? u meant to have set lines that dont move and set lines that move as you turn your wheel.

[aussietig]

I and most people go for the budget version without those extra guidance lines when retrofitting!

Requires an extra module to be purchased.

A further cost and PITA to install that I'm not prepared to pay.


No offence, but do you really need those lines after while?
Might benefit the kids if they're starting to learn how to drive.


Reason why I've installed these now is:
1) For the Mrs.
2) Does help prevent kerb rash on my wheels at night time.
3) Cost of the parts have come down quite a bit.

[hippyhippy]

i thought it was inbuilt into the firmware? didnt know it was an extra module.

anyways it came with my car so i dont really know, but they are indeed very helpful, you can get the park perfect cause you can see exactly where you're gonna be.

Looks good Aussietig may I humbly suggest you add that tweak to your Tiguan VCDS link . I always wondered about how that option was activated for those that had sensors already fitted and upgraded their head units and added a RVC as well

Ok I see you have already done it excellent

Yeah, just cracked out my VCDS cable again, and it isn't the electronics, it is 10-Park/Steer Assist, which I see has been discussed now, sorry for sending on a wild goose chase (the electronics module has many many bytes and 3 components!)

Hi all - hoping somebody can shed some light on the following...installed a low line camera (without control module) over the weekend on my 2011 147 TSI and what an interesting job that was, anyway, enabled the backup camera in module 37 and low and behold after rebooting the RNS510 it works as it should although you need to press the RVC in the OPS screen to get it work. After reading aussietig's post (big thanks btw) I am trying to enable the RVC together with the OPS so it will appear on the LHS as per the pic below so if I get into Module 10, Byte 0, Bit 5 and select the 'Rear view camera installed' is throw up the message 'Coding rejected Error 31: request out of range' now I have a towbar and wiring installed so have tried the other options and all 3 fail so what have I missed? I did find an option in the CAN gateway to enable the RVC (Byte 5, Bit 6) but wanted to check to see if anyone has similar issues before I start fiddling with a few boxes - any help appreciated

I think your issue lies solely with the coding of module 10 only. You do not need to activate anything in the CANbus module 19 that is only if you are fitting the advanced RVC which has a separate box mounted in the rear of the vehicle.
Suggest you do a full Autoscan and send it Support at Ross Tech theymay be able to help providing you are a registered cable owner with them otherwise have a word with Aussietig as he appears to be the only other 147 owner that has a basic RVC retrofitted and also has a module 10 fitted
