    Hi.
    I'm new to Audi and have just purchased a 2008 a4. It has a concert system with screen and was wondering if it would be possible to fit a reversing camera to it.


    Any help will be much appreciated

    Thanks

    I've seen this before. I'm sure I've found another forum where a couple of people had fitted it with mixed reviews (they seemed to have the most issues with the Audi steering wheel controls) I'd just google the name and see what comes up.

    Yes it is but not necessarily the Audi one.

    My mate fitted a kit that looked the same as the one in your link to his A6 and it works great.

    I guess it all depends how OEM you want it.
    MY2010 A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI quattro S-line Exec - Aruba Blue, 19" alloys, Full Leather, B & O, 3G Tech Pack, Adaptive Lights, Dynamic Susp, Folding Mirrors, Power tailgate, Storage/Light Packs, Parking Plus, Heated Seats, Rear Blinds, Load Rails, Privacy Glass, Rear Airbags, TPMS, Load Liner

    Gone : 09 A4 Avant, B6 S4, TT, Golf GTi...and the rest are embarassing!

    Hi there!

    yes, please do! and with pics if you can!

    The thing I want most on my car is the parking aid with the display and front and rear sensors after having it in a Q5 courtesy car.

    official retrofits seem hard to come by, and very expensive the few I find.

    This would be ideal for me, especially for less than £200!

    thanks

    XCarLink questions, tips, tricks, and issues!!

    Loads of info on the above site, including some intresting posts on how people have connected iPhones running tomtom and got to display on the Audi screen. It will take some reading but may give you a idea of what you can do with it.
