Retrofit of RVC to MK6 Golf

[xordis]

I fitted the LED number plate lights tonight.
I was hoping they would illuminate the back more so they helped with the RVC

Before



After



The photo doesn't exactly show how it is cause it overexposed it. (I can still see the yellow line for example)
The LED's help, but not as much as I thought they would, they are pretty damn good stock.
Are they worth <$50 ... yep, but I wouldn't pay $180 or whatever it is for OEM ones.
If you really wanted more light for the RVC, then LED tail lights with reverse lights on both sides would be the best thing.

I used that guide for a few tips, but as I said they are all a little incomplete at the moment.

You can make this install as simple or as hard as you want.

simple = run coax, tap power/ground/reverse in the boot.
hard = run coax, build full loom to match OEM (no cutting of original wires), run power to the fuse box and install new circuit with it's own fuse.

The difference between simple and hard is maybe $50 in parts and a bit of soldering.

Does anyone actually have, and could post the coding for getting the RVC and OPS on the same screen ?

Ι must first thank you for accepting me in your big community
I have exactly the same problem with my new RVC and OPS in my Golf MK6.
Here is a picture of the problem in order for all of us to understand it better:




Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I think you just have to upgrade your RNS firmware to get that

Thank you for your answer!
I forgot to say that my RNS is LED version with latest available software 38xx.

And the answer i think is in the following link (PDF in the first post):

Might be slightly off topic or answered previously but did a quick search with no results. Is there anyway to get the steering indicator lines on the RVC display similar to the Passat in a Golf?

[stakyrTSI]

I think that the not moving yellow lines are coming from the controller of the camera.
I installed the original badge camera into my Golf MK6 and i have this lines (of
cource they are not moving with the steering wheel because this operation
is coming from another extra separated from camera controller in the steering
wheel column).
