Discover Media retrofit

[kamold]

Yes you'll need to get a 1K8 PDC module if you want to get the OPS overlay on the screen at the same time as the reverse image.

Hey
I see you are a gem at modifying VW audio. I have the same head unit as you do in my 2016 scirocco. I am wondering how hard is it to retrofit Dynaudio to it?

Thanks Shane

How hard is matter of perspective...
Speakers need to be drilled out then a new wiring harness installed to the dynaudio amp connected to the newly installed speakers.

Hi Kamold

I’ve connected and codes my low rear camera today, but screen doesn’t switch to camera, or even say camera fault. Is the discover media not seeing the reverse signal due to older gateway, or have you experienced other issue to cause this?

What sort of camera and how is it wired and powered?

Oem camera as previously used with rns510. Adaptor from Ali express for £8 as a short term solution to get some sort of camera working. I believe that the discover media takes reverse signal from the canbus to know to switch the camera on, but when reverse is selected nothing changes

How is the converter wired?
If it has a reverse trigger wire connect this to 12v as well as the 12v wire. This will constantly power the rgbs to cvbs converter.
The discover unit doesn't like any delay in seeing a video signal once reverse is selected.
I had a traditional relay connected in my wife's car to a camera and it didn't work because it was too slow. I used a digital delay relay and now it works fine.

tried both +ve wires to perm live. As far as I could see, if the camera was unplugged it would just come up with an error saying camera not available if it didn’t see signal from the camera

[kamold]

Try another converter or try another composite video source connected to the discover

You think 3c0 gateway has nothing to do with it? I’m going to upgrade to 7n0 and 3aa ccm now anyway
