Rear View Camera Change - week 45?
« on: 22 November 2009, 08:18 »
I'm assumming reading this on the German forum, that the rear view camera postion has changed from the rear badge to the number plate light postion?

Hmmm... that'll be a bit disappointing if my car has that instead.
It's such a quirky feature - I don't know why they'd change it?
Perhaps too many warranty claims or something?

That would be a backwards step.
I noticed after washing mine the other day, the camera picture had all but disappeared, however it was back to normal the next time I was out in the car.

The one in the badge is a nice gimmick and in a good location but I can see it being troublesome. Don't blame VW for moving it. Perhaps it ought to come with it's own little diddy windscreen wiper?  :cool:

Does not say anything in the UK week 45 Engine and specification changes.

Its probably the scirocco one as the boot badge is different on the scirocco.

You can also buy aftermarket ones that fit in similar locations (half numberplate light half camera) 

My money would be on its a scirocco.

It may be a gimmick to some but having used it for a month or so now, I would always want to spec it on future cars.
Its a great added feature.

I don't think that image is the boot lid of a golf, more likely a golf plus or golf estate. The shaded area next to the camera is the boot release button found on these type of cars. See Here

i may be wrong but if the golf were to be like that it would mean a complete rear end redesign, and i don't think vw are likely to spend that kind of cash!

Not sure, it was on the Golf Mk6 forum, but could be the plus etc.

Hope it is, as I feel same as above.

Would it be possible to have the camera retro-fitted in to my car?  I have the rcd510 with dynaudio would it be a very expensive retro fit?
