Hi All,

Does anyone know where i can get the VW reverse camera retrofit coded to work? Is it VW only who can do it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Axe,

Are you saying that you've had a retrofit reverse camera fitted and it's not working properly?

I wanted a reverse camera on my Clubsport but I got a car from stock, as many others have, so no camera was fitted. When I asked VW about a retrofit they were totally uninterested in having anything to do with it and advised against it 
Pure White Mk8 Clubsport
TD Motorsport Pro Y Spoke Wheels
1899 Software but new s/wheel & no bongs since 4/1/24

Gone: Mk7.5 GTE

Hi, Yes that's correct. Self retro fitted but needs coding afterwards

You could try vwretrofit in Redditch - he did the same to my 7.5 GTI and it worked perfectly

However saying that, I’m not sure anyone has managed to make changes to a MK8 yet
Currently: MK8 GTI Clubsport - DCC - Reflex Silver - Adelaide 19"s - Rear Camera

Previous: 3x MK7.5 GTI Performance Pack

Advanced In-Car technologies have installed and coded the reverse camera on the Golf 8:

The Infotainment unit needs to be coded which is SFD protected...
