Golf pop out badge RVC into Polo 6R

[Euro Car Upgrades]

Anyone know if the golf7 camera is same as golf6?

no its not, completely different and it will stick out

I got impatient waiting for the camera to come and fitted the RCD510 already. (yep, I'll have to pull it again when the camera arrives - and that's OK cos I left a CD in the RCD310 doh).

When I select reverse the display shows blue where the camera image would show, and the warning/disclaimer message to always check behind.

It seems to already think the RVC is there. So does this mean I wont need any VCDS coding? Why would this be the case since it was originally fitted with a 310 which is incapable of using the camera?

You wont need to code very likely.

Hmmm. My harness is different. Only the red wire is long enough to go front to rear. The black is just long enough to go from vamera to the earth point near the light and the yellow wire is only a metre long. No chance of getting back to the light.

Update: all fitted up. Ended up having to lengthen the red wire as well as it didnt quite reach. Head unit works, hatch release works, but camera isnt popping out so still just blue screen. I guess i need the vcds after all. It seems to have power at the camera but its late,dark and I'm starving so maybe im checking wrong connection.

Update2: camera pops out now I connected it correctly. I too had the latch/camera plugs switched.

My tip: dont start this job after work if you need the car the following day

I'm desperate for help with vcds coding now. My local dealer wont touch it for any amount of money. They didn't fit the camera so they are not interested. They also werent interested in giving me the rcd510 security code. If anyone is within 1.5 hours of Wollongong with a hex-can cable I'll come to you and make it worth your while. I'm just about ready to buy my own cable that I'll only ever use for 5 minutes.

I had Camden Gti have a quick look this morning on my way to work. Turns out the bit to turn on the reverse camera is already ticked which I suspected it might be back in post #102. So I'm now at a loss as to why I only have a blue screen.

My VCDS screen was slightly different to the screenshot on post #54. I only have 4 or 5 bytes available, not 9. Also my bit 6 only has "Backup Camera installed", doesnt have "(without control module)".

I presume the red wire powers the hatch? Well it works at all times, ignition off/on. The yellow wire is getting power when I select reverse as the camera pops out, which also proves the earth. The bit is ticked, its plugged into the back of the RCD510. I double checked the coax, it can only go one way. What else could possibly be wrong?

Is there another section under radio that I have to tell it I have the rcd510? Didnt have any time to do searching or diagnosis this morning because I have already missed a couple of days work this week.

iigx I will take you up on the offer if I cant find anything wrong when I double check it over the weekend. Thankyou.

Sigh. One step closer. The coax wasn't plugged into the headunit properly. So now I have the guidelines but no picture... just black. Ideas?

[amazeer]

All sorted. What a ****fight that was. Never again. Every nut and bolt air cooled resto is much easier. I think I had less trouble building complete custom turbo kombi engines.

Hi all,

Trying to code a RCD510(bosch) with reverse in, VCDS accepts the code change via Long code helper, then when i check to confirm the code has changed it hasnt. It is still on the default coding. Camera works properly and pops out etc, just cant get it to code. Using VCDS 14.10.2. Any help/ideas appreciated.

Just a note, Ive tried resetting the the unit a few times and it makes no difference.
