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,

    Yes,is possible but do not go for bendable camera. All process takes 3 hours to do and cost 300$. Only one condition: your rns should support camera.

      Fitting might be $300 but the genuine camera is well over $600

        Hi

        That is right. Original camera is expensive. You can go with non original and save money. Otherwise, you can check local car dismantlers or wreckers.

          So this actually has a spot/cutout for the camera to fit into? Nice.

          I feel like aftermarket cameras (of decent quality) would be the same if not better then a VW camera from 2010 and earlier.

            It fits into the badge on the boot which is also the boot lock

              It is very tricky.

              The first step is to look in your handbook to see if any 2010 Passat sedan was factory-fitted with a camera.

              Take a photo of that page of your handbook and upload here to get confirmation.

              I do not know when VW started making badge cameras.

                  How did you go?

                  I can not believe this thread is dead.
