Backup camera

[Kelvin Johnson]

just received my Back up Camera today looking forward to do the installation this weekend weather permitting.

has anyone here done this retro fit? looks easy plug and play.

[Flash2]

No, I've never fitted one to a Passat, but I look forward to your write up, Kelvin.

Jim.

Hi, did you ever get this done?

[Fr51zzz]

Any update on this?

[BobbyBrown]

Are you doing one Fr51zzz?

Are you doing one Fr51zzz?
I would like to do one.
I like the look of the pop out badge camera but I don't like the price.
I would do the light camera but would like to see a list of all parts needed and a nice photo write up just to give me some confidence.

[BobbyBrown]

Which passat have you got? I'm in the process of getting the component parts for the pop out camera and highline module. Once that's done I'm going to get my local car audio place to fit it

I've got a b7 bluemotion sport 140 in white.

I've got a B6 Saloon which I think has the same parts. I'm getting (and please anyone feel free to tell me if I'm wrong)
Wiring loom Passat B6/B7 CRS970.3AE.05
Highline module (which gives moving lines) 3C9907441
Emblem Camera 3AE827469A

Then it's just a matter of putting it together but it should pretty much plug n play and there's no messing with splicing reverse light cables etc.

is that all that's needed? Cables from head unit to camera? I've got vcds so can code it in no problem.
What sort of prices? Are they oem from vw?

[BobbyBrown]

Yes, as far as I'm aware. £50 for cable, £110 for highline module and then approx £250 for the camera unit. The camera is all I'm waiting for, keeping my eyes peeled on eBay.

Hi Fr51zzz,
Reverse camera all fitted and functioning, fairly painless process. The B7 emblem camera and module will fit the B6 with only a small amount of trimming needed on the internal lid of the boot to fit the camera mechanism

cheers mate for the update. where did you get the camera from in the end?

[BobbyBrown]

eBay, it was used but you can't tell, just need to calibrate it now. Was sent from Poland, easy process, no customs hassle

Just looking in to one of these myself; I have the highline spec Passat B7, so I imagine I just need the camera & wiring loom?
