Title: Rear Camera Emblem
Post by: Yumraaj on 27 February 2020, 20:28

Hi I am thinking of adding a cheap camera to the rear VW emblem and was thinking if its possible at all.
What Im thinking is to drill the bottom part and attach a small camera to it then wire it to the MIB display and obviously I will have to code it for it to flip.

Does anyone think this will be doable?

Thanks

this is the camera

I'd say you have somewhere between no hope and Bob Hope.

It won't work...the MIB unit I am quite certain wil only work with the VAG camera....

& the VW emblem does not "flip"...the hidden camera pushes it out of the way...

Just buy the VW rear badge with the rear camera & fit that

many of these on AliExpress...ebay etc...

Why buy a car like a Golf and then start fitting cheap crap to it?

I'm sure this has been discussed numerous times and someone had a quote for the genuine thing fitting by main stealer for £450-500 if its that bigger deal to you, I wouldn't want the pain of a DIY one personally! :undecided:

That camera will be looking at the sky, it is designed to fit the same orientation the number plates lights fit. Coding it is as said going to be a game.

Thank you all. I will look into a proper reverse camera for it.

As mentioned above you can get the genuine one retrofitted by the dealers for about £450 and then it’ll be all integrated properly and coded. Plus you’ll get the warranty with it too.
