Reversing camera
« on: 31 January 2012, 23:25 »
Hey all

Can I ask, i am looking at a second hand 2011gti that doesn't have reversing sensors or camera.
Don't want the dealer retrofitting the sensors at £400 plus wouldn't trust the finish etc etc
It has a rcd510 dynaudio, so am I right I could get some sort of camera retro fit ?
If yes, what is involved and approx cost ? Any ideas fellas (I would have asked dealer but forgot  :grin:)

Any help fellas much appreciated.

Cheers
Potts

And there was us thinking you were referring to the 'help' bit at the top left.


Okay, leave that bit to me.
You can order ready painted parking sensors for the rear of the car from VW for just over £200 (last time I checked), but they don't look as neat as the factory sensors.

The RCD would need a video input, from memory, to run the camera. The RNS 510 however can run one but will set you back at least another £500 or so on top of the camera cost.

I was helping.  If you need reversing cameras and sensors in a hatchback where the rear bumper is 12-18" from the bottom of the rear screen, then you need to learn to drive.

But your sarcastic reply wasn't too bad, C+.
