My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

Here my car with thinkware 770 camera back and front

Here is my set with Blackvue DR650S-2CH. I just need to find a way to replace original signal+power cables to flat ones and prepare battery power for parking mode.

True, the battery under front passenger seat. Except a little bit wires back camera, i cant find it any where else that can be visible by people standing from outside. Cost $280 by MC carsecurity. Not cheap but safe and good work.

Besty ..... Check under passenger seat for the 9v or 12v plug.

I haven't taken delivery of our Tig yet, but if the Audi mirror housings are anything to go by you shouldn't mount the camera directly in front of it, as you have Besty, as there is a sensor on the very front of the mirror housing.

Does the Tiguan have a sensor right behind where you have mounted the camera? If so, I'd be moving your camera.

I assume you're going to tidy up the wires. It's pretty easy to run the wires though the boot trim and hinge.

Another hint. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but my original Blackvue came with cable clips which stick to the windscreen to keep everything tidy. Unfortunately the double sided tape on the clips was a light grey. They looked horrible when stuck to the windscreen. I took the grey tape off and replaced it with black double sided tape. It's now completely invisible against the dark interior.

No plug available. I have one on back console + one in trunk (where I have plans to plug WI-FI dongle).

Same here, but those clips doesn't look like they can do a job for a long time. I want to provide whole new cable and stick it flat to hide. Because of camera location it is now not visible at first glance - only cables if someone want to see them from outside.

Also thinking about way to put back camera cable, because I'm using back grid - on photo it was taken out - for now I have problem temporairly solved.

Betsy, obviously English is your second language, I'm having a little trouble understanding you.

I've had those clips on my windscreen for two years and they are rock solid. They're a lot better than they look at first glance, once you replace the grey tape with black. They are also designed to take both the main power cable and rear camera cable together. Once you do that I can't see a need for the flat cable.

I'd send you some photos, but I'm in London at the moment. Maybe next week when I get home.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Hmm, sounds like I should give them a chance. Thank you.

Does anyone know how to change either the model or the colour of the car that is displayed on the Discover Pro and the Active Info Display?

My car is white but the car shows as grey in all the menus.

Does anyone who has received their Tig know how to activate automatic high beam control? I was pretty sure it's available in OZ. Also, does your car automatically stop when detecting an obstacle while reversing? I believe it is maneuver breaking- can't seem to get it to work
