Hi, I want to mount the VW Golf Rear View Camera in my VW Polo 6r, but I read the support of the rear window wiper must be cut.

Vw-rvc-wiper-mod-remove-leg-1 : Polo 6R Rückfahrkamera! So knapp vorm Ziel : VW Polo 5 : #205293907

Don't you cut that support? don't bangs the RVC to support of the rear wiper? Have you a photo of RVC on?

Sorry for my bad English

[mchieff]

No - you do not need to cut the wiper mount.
You can see it clearly intact in Staz's photo

you dont need to cut anything... we wouldnt have done it if you had to. mine and staz's pics should show what you need to know inside the hatch.... I have no idea why that guy cut his motor mount, but it is a bad idea.

[JonW]

here is one of my pics... you can see the bracket / mount missing eachother here...

Since i'm paranoid about breaking stuff i've enquired with Quattro motors in Burswood to do this for me.

It will take them about 4 hours (sounds reasonable) and they will wire it up based on printed instructions from this thread

I am also getting them to install an RNS510 (over my RCD510) at the same time, hopefully should make living with the GTI a little easier... not that its hard at the moment!

[JonW]

sounds reasonable to me. swapping to the RNS at the same time should be free, as you remove the RCD to do it anyway

this is great to know thanks

[iigx]

Thanks to lunchboxGTI i have my bracket, yay!



My RVC camera should arrive tomorrow, and it is all being installed (with my new H LED RNS510!!!!!) on the 6th of December! woo!

Hey Jon, great article, well done and thanks... may look at doing this.

Did you happen to price genuine parts from the Stealership?

Are the Brackets (made) an extra cost or job to do?

What do you mean the size of the square on the screen, was it not full frame?

Cheers

Stephen

Huge Kudos to Staz for his help today in working through a few things on my VCDS, including (the very simple) getting the RVC to work on my RCD510, cheers mate!

In discussion today we both agree this is 5hours and $500 well spent if you fancy an RVC, thanks also to lunchbox for the brackets!

We also tested the size of the 'square' on the screen and reckon its Golf sized, so is probably part of the lens, not the software that comes with the Polo.
