    Retrofit VW emblem reverse camera project

    Hello,

    I'm doing some research to see if I can retrofit the VW Emblem Reverse Camera to my Golf that has the Composition Media fitted.

    I know it's not direct fit to the Composition Media unit so will be looking to modify the kit wiring and use an after market interface to plug into the infotainment box.

    Does anyone know if the VW retro fit camera kit produces the parking guidelines on the screen or if the guidelines are produced by the Composition Media /infotainment unit. ie Hardware or software generated lines?

    Also trying to source the wiring diagram for the Golf 7 which shows the reverse camera connections - anybody know where I can source one?

    Many thanks

    Andy

    Andy: Hi
    Not sure about the answer to your first question, but I will PM a Wiring diagram to answer your second question
    Cheers

    Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.

    If it's anything like the MkVI the lowline kit doesn't do the lines, the highline kit (which has an extra box) can do the lines *if* the steering wheel has the needed bits.

    I've ordered the kit so will report back.

    Thanks for the replies and the wiring diagram from Don.
