Not many people have a camera up their rectum. I am told it is an interesting and envigorating experience.

By way of the power of this forum, I am arranging to meet SteveP this weekend to have my rear end enhanced!

I'll provide feedback on the benefits (and the customary picture) next week

Mr P is wonderful. I'll be meeting him next week to get my front end winking.

The rear camera is one of the best low cost factory options you can go for.
I think it was £155 when I got it - and its the one that impresses most people in the car!
I have the parking sensors and the camera - but find the camera much more useful.  I haven't heard of any breaking yet (touch wood) and with its ability to hide itself away, it never gets filthy (like most cameras that are built into the number plate lights).

I realise you won't be getting a retrofitted one for anything like £155... probably more like £455 - but its still a great addition.

Incidentally - what does the Scirocco one look like?  Is it a badge camera?  I thought the Roc had a much smaller badge on the back.

Awesome bit of kit, me and the wife both use my car and the camera really comes in useful,

My badge camera is in my mk5 golf with the RNS510 C and has never let me down :wink:

You wont regret having it fitted especially getting Steve to do the job, top guy

Met up with SteveP earlier and in less than 48 hours since raising the thread, I am now the proud owner of a rear badge reversing camera.

Whilst I shall be spending the rest of the weekend driving backwards to test it out, I would like add to the existing plaudits of SteveP's skills.
 
Steve has a massive knowledge of all things VW and went beyond the call of duty to skillfully undertake the fitting work despite my constant stream of questions whilst he was trying to work. He also checked my car via the VCDS (?) and put my mind at rest that I didn't have any other nasty gremlins in terms of outstanding error codes. Ultimately, he cares about the work in hand which perhaps wouldn't be the case if it was just another job for a technician in the local VW garage.

Thanks again SteveP for all your help and to those who kindly contributed to this thread.
