R36 DSG, may I ask which kit was it you got from carsystems.pl?

VW Rear Emblem Camera KIT - Retrofit - Passat B6 B7 CC

Just to ask how long did it take you to install the kit on the R36?

Was it easy removing the panels into the boot from the rear? I am assuming everything worked without modifying anything except the coding.
Did you manage some photos of the install? I've seen some from vwvortex on a B7 install.

I'm wish to install the bluetooth and RVC the same time while I've got the RNS out.

Took almost a whole day,, spent a bit of time mucking about getting the badge camera to sit flush. Had to bend a small piece of metal on the inside of the bootlid which was getting in the way.
Running the cable wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I started from the radio and worked my way back along the passenger side. I used a yellow tongue ( the thing sparkies use ) to feed a few tricky areas like from the rear sill to into the boot area. I cut off the yellow black and red wires near the badge end and undid the blue connector so had only one cable the feed through, then got power and earth in the boot and the yellow wire off the reverse light.
Connecting it up was pretty much plug and play with the exception of the simple coding.
Unfortunately did not take any photos of the install but don't think it will differ too much from the B7.
Good luck with the install.

Is this the metal part you were talking about?



In these photos, they sawed it off. How did you manage to bend the metal?

Used a hammer, probably not the best way but it gave me just enough clearance.

when i did the gti mkv5 badge camera, I used tin snips and primed it so it wouldnt' rust. decided against the dremel or angle grinder so metal bits wouldn't go everywhere.

I always thought the reverse would fit (ie. OEM) as it was an option in the sedan yet modifications had to be made.

maybe the camera was for a golf and not passat. was it a 5k0 part? that would be golf mkvi camera.

Anyone know where I could get this adapter?


I could use a normal license plate camera with a RCA output with the RNS harness. HSD connectors are hard to find.
