Hi ladys and gents I have retro fitted an rvc into my 2007 golf gti the camera pops out as it should but with no change to the rns screen, when I go into the setup menu it is recognising the camera operating, hope some one can shed some light on my issue.
-
This if I remember correctly this was the advice I was given:-
Programming Head Unit RNS 510
Using Vagcom/VCDS the headunit requires programming to tell it of the existence of a RVC.
Connect to controller 37 and in long coding under Byte 3 select Bit 6.
To complete the programming reboot the RNS 510. - press the left arrow button, right arrow button, and the star button all at the same time, and the RNS will reset and accept the changes.
-
Ive tryed that mate and still nothing.
-
Assuming the equipment is new or if second hand you bought it from a good source?
My first move would be rechecking the coaxial cable to the rear of the head unit and the boot connections as there's not a lot after that since the camera is popping out and you've coded it.
-
Hi yeah ive checked the lead at both ends only thing I get is when I go into setup and it says rvc on and off when putting it into reverse.
-
Sorry can't help you as I've never had no faults with the system and my install was trouble free.
May be Eddie-NL or Golfman may read this and offer some guidance!
-
Is the camera actually getting power? I have the one in the bumper and that was my problem when i was fitting it
-
Hi yeah ive checked all the wiring at tailgait end and behined the rns and also the permenant live to the fuse box, when I go into the secret menu it says rvc on and off when putting in and out of reverse.
-
Have you tried unticking the box with vcds, reboot the rns, tick again and restart the rns again and then try?
-
Yeah ive tryed that too, I have noticed tnight it only operates the central locking on the tailgait with the ignition on if I try unlock the car and try open the boot it stays locked unless the ignition is on, hope this sheds a tad of light on it.
-
Can anyone help.
-
Is the boot central locking a new thing thats happened since you coded it?
-
Ill be honest im not sure as I go into my boot once a blue moon.
-
I wonder if it is a coding / power issue. Get some in the boot to mess with the wiring whilst you hold it in reverse. Random question but have you got a reverse bulb in too? My plays up when the bulb is out. It works for a bit then turns off.
-
Thanks mate ill check my reverse light ive checked the coding as ed supplied that for me it cost me a lot so really need to sort it, I solded all the wiring in still carnt understand why it only works with the ignition on as it works off a permenant live.
-
I dont think it may be a power issue as you said the camera does flip open so the reverse signal is working. May be the coaxial cable. I would trace the wire to ensure there arent any kinks in it anywhere.
-
Does the badge mech and the camera run off the same power source then? Or does the camera need another power source to turn it on? My camera didnt need a permenant feed but it is a bumper version
-
Had a problem like this and it turned out to be the 2760? firmware I had downloaded. Tried downloading from a different site and undated which solved the problem. :happy2:
-
Camera needs a permanent live.
-
The camera needs a permanent so that you can use it to open the boot
-
when i had this problem it was because the yellow trigger wire on my loom wasn't making a good enough connection with the reverse light...
-
Ill check the things you have all sugested and let you all know soon thanks lads im sure it was a permenant live I put it to therse only 2 spare fuse ports to put another circuit into. :happy2:
-
if it works of a switched live then you must have wired it to a switched live
Boot should open all the time
