Calling people with reverse cameras
« on: 30 August 2011, 23:48 »
I have mentioned this in earlier threads but fell on deaf ears methinks. :sad: i could do with a favour as i don't think my camera/guidelines are alligned as they should be, the most obvious symptom is when reversing into a parking space with white lines either side, if i use the yellow marker lines on the screen and get them perfectly between the parking bay lines the car is well over to the right (smaller space drivers side).
I don't remember this being the case when it was new, can anyone with a camera please check their's for me please? my car has to go back in for other work anyway so if this is an issue i can get them to fix it.
I'll get a couple of pics to show the extent of the problem.

Cheers :smiley:

Hi mate, mine is perfect.  When I fitted my RNS though VW thought that the camera would have to be re-calibrated via a connection to Germany!

How true that is I don't know but this did come out of the mouth of the Master Technician.


Hope you get it fixed mate.

Just off to work so can't search myself now but; I remeber seeing a thread on one of hte US forums relating to calibrating the camera involving some printed spots on the ground and I think some coding work.

Had my RVC fitted last week by Steve P and it appears to be 'spot on' alignment wise.

Let us know hoe you get on.

sssh; it's 'only a diesel'; but i love it!
