Retrofit of RVC to MK6 Golf

[Ryan_R]

Yeah, I've since read a few more articles on the subject of inputs/cabling up the RVC.
I merely said it would be handy, ofc I know it would never actually happen.

to retrofit RVC onto golf from all the website DIY instruction it wasn't clear whether those are LHD or RHD website - so my question is which side do we have to run the loom cable that connects the RVC to the head unit at the front, is it easier to do from our driver side or our passenger side?

[Ryan_R]

I belive you travel down the side of the vehicle which has the fuse box (which is usually the drivers side).

Anyway, last I'll say on that part of the thread... back to the original topic:

My bits and bobs for this and my 9W7 are sitting in out at Mascot and weren't delivered yesterday so another week before I can fit them... grrrr.

Awesome Pep,

Please just don't forget to let me know how you went about it and whether it was easy or not. After all, that is the question I asked in my OP

Rather than split off all the off-topic posts into another thread, I decided since that topic had already hi-jacked other threads before, that I'll just delete them. Thus there has also been 1 or 2 posts that I've had to edit to remove the content that was off-topic and leave the on-topic content there.

We can now go back to discussing the topic of Retrofit of RVC to MK6 Golf with VW OPS

Got my RVC delivered today, A$609 from feeBay. then I realised when buying bits required to construct the wiring loom to connect to reverse light and boot lock relay, I realise ECS Tuning has the same unit (camera + loom to RNS) on their e-shop as well and can be bought all for US$650 delivered including the bits n bobs... so I've overpaid by about US$150 because of getting them from 2 separate places... damn. (the camera + loom itself is about US$430 if ordered from ECS Tuning)

Camera was delivered from Lithuania, looks new with plastic protector on the badge but funnily was described as 'used' on the fedex delivery docket? I'm gonna be asking the seller what's the go with it... seller is from UK but apparently getting his/her stuff from Lithuania, I reckon probably the same source of the one selling RNS refurbished unit out of Lithuania?

I wouldn't be surprised if the 'used' comment is to encourage Customs not to charge you any import fees.

[Ryan_R]

Yeah - all of my ebay purchases are marked as 'Gifts' on the parcels.

What loom are you talking about? I've not seen reference to it anywhere in all my searching and can't find it on ECS. Would save a bunch of hassle if there's already a pre-existing one.
