Reversing Camera for R36 Wagon

[adrock]

So I had the RVC fitted last week along with BT and an in-motion disabler and it looks pretty factory. They used the tailgate handle from an A4 wagon which incorporates the camera. All works well and integrates properly with the OPS (can switch between). Only thing missing from the factory version is the guidance lines, but if you can't park with OPS, a RVC and your own eyes, then give it up!

In all honesty, after having it for the last few days I don't think it's something I'd ever pay for again. In a Q7 or landcruiser perhaps, but not in a passat.

A4 wagon handle is the go. I'll wack up some pics tomorrow.

Cool thanks! Can't wait for the pics!

Interesting. I remember seeing somewhere else a picture of the OPS and RVC on the same screen. Yours appears on different screens. Is this a setting? How do you toggle between the 2?

Yep, upgrade the software and the plan view showing the sensors comes up in that empty box on the left hand panel in this image. No need then to switch between views. I did it to mine, much better

I take it you mean the firmware of the RNS510? Do you know if all this is gonna work on the RCD510?

That sounds like the way to go. Is the upgrade something easy to do?

that would be it! Not sure if this is the same procedure on the RCD510. Send a PM to Swallowtail, he is the master of these units in knowing all the ins and outs! (He upgraded mine for me!)

[hellfire]

Thanks pal!

Calling Swallowtail....

Ok, I read right thru the thread and would now like to know where all the necessary stuff can be purchased. I have a R36 Sedan with RNS510 and OPS and would like to aid a camera. Al help appreciated.

cheers

Hi Murray,

I had all of mine done by an installer on Melb so am unsure of where he sourced the parts, etc.. I'm pretty sure though that the boot handle is different in the sedan to the wagon. Sorry I couldn't help you out.

the boot handle/latch on the sedan is the VW logo...

hi!

I enabled via VAGCOM for a mate here:

Although the video is showing a Passat CC with the original VW emblem RVC, I've also tested successfully on a setup similar to adrock

Hey hannson,

I'm loving how the OPS displays on the left hand side when the camera is engaged. I'm definitely going to see about getting that happening somehow. I noticed though that it also has the guidance lines. I'm assuming that CC actually came with the RVC as factory as I didn't think you could get those displaying aftermarket unless you spend some big $$?
