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,

    Running a cable to the back is not too difficult. Just remember to remove all the tabs that state airbag first as some of them have a torx screw behind them.

    Dynamic parking line handle camera VW PQ or MQB Passat Jetta Tiguan RCD330 plus | eBay

    This is the camera I got, got the RCD330 from the same guy with the K0 series canbus as a package to save on shipping. Has yellow lines that move with steering. Seems good enough for day to day, as some one said I not going to be shooting the next blockbuster on it.
    Can you be a more specific about those Airbag tags? Not sure which location they suppose to be in.

    Thanks for the car head unit link though those cameras (according to the description) will not fit my car/head unit. They're priced quite reasonably but I think the RCD510 requires RGB format for the rear view camera.

Mind you after almost 3 years laying in box I could probably afford to buy the RNS530 now for the price I've paid (3 yrs ago) for the RCD510.

      But even with 510 I don't have a camera installed so this capability (for now) is being wasted. The rear (pop up) cameras are still fetching around A$200 plus I'd probably be looking at getting the wireless sender so I don't have to run wires all the way to the front of the car. I think some kind of video converter is also needed for this to work wirelessly so it all adds up.
      Dont try and waste youre time with wireless. Had this version:

      175 Degree MCCD Fisheye 12LED HD Rear View Camera For Volkswagen VW Passat B6 CC Touran Caddy Golf Plus Touareg 2009 2010 Car|Vehicle Camera| - AliExpress

      Sometimes it didnt work because of other frequencys around you and and and.

      End of story i installed a wire for the camera.
