RNS510 and aftermarket reversing camera

(1/2) > >>

Lyons:
Hopfeully getting the RNS in the new year, but dont fancy the expense/hassle involved with the MkVI rear badge camera retro fit.

Can anyone tell me if the RNS has a composite RCA and will any aftermarket reversing camera work with it?

Thanks

Cheers Darren.

If im honest i cant really understnad that, but as i see no mention of composite RCA i assume one cant be connected.

LYONS,

The best place to start researching the project is VWnavi.com.

AFAIK or remember VW did do a standalone RGB camera. But its more complicated than you think. The OEM MK5 badge camera unit has the control unit (which coverts the RGB signal into something the RNS-510 can understand) built into it. This is one of the reasons why its massive and requires one of the wiper arms to be removed.

You COULD, go down the Passat camera badge route which doesnt require any cutting of metal, but you will need a seperate aftermarket control unit box (kufatech.de best place for this) and at present the box's dont support the guidelines you see on the RNS display.

Lyons:
Thanks. I did have a quick search on vwnavi, but to no avail. Ill maybe put up a thread and see what happens.

I was initially tempted by the price of the aftermarket cameras, but if it turns out to be as dear as the badge job ill probably forget about it!
