Q7 4M Rear View Camera - Retrofit

[jimbo9000]

Hi, thanks for this insight. I'm looking to do the same but haven't found a reasonable guide on the boot trim removal/cable laying along with connection to the relevant box in MMI. Is there a guide you would recommend on this please? Thank you.

Whatever that bit does may somewhere else in different control module versions, so you should make sure it looks like the right thing to be setting rather than doing it blindly:

Go to Byte 35 and check Bit 4

I can't comment on the other parts.

Hi Andy, where did you tap into for CAN wires? I believe this camera uses extended CAN system for communication?

The easiest place I found is at the connector for the adblue control module behind the right rear luggage compartment side trim. Check out the service manual for details and wiring diagram.

If you have some of the more advanced driver assistance modules the extended canbus wire might be present behind the left side trim by the fusebox, but mine didn't.

Hi mate, yeah I did see that in Erwin last night, J880 Control unit for reducing agent metering system seems like has extended CAN also, much easier than tapping into GW under seat thanks for confirming.
