Looks like purple is power and brown is ground.

Green is your ign switched power for the camera AKA KL15

ok today i tried to install this t-roc RVC but what i don;t understand is WHERE is this set up getting the 12V constant power to the rear emblem?? i measured the voltage or checked for voltage at the 2 pin connector ( see attached picture) and i DON"T get the 12V constant there.

i've hooked up the green 12V switched wire, the blue one to the reverse light, but i'm at a loss that there is NO 12V constant at the factory 2 pin at the back.

how did the original emblem work then using that 2 pin connector??? as before i was able to open up the trunk without any issues??

what am i missing here??

thanks again in advance.

You put those terminals into that connector in your hand, and plug that into the one under your thumb.

i did that after i posted the reply, as i "gambled" that that is where it SHOULD go adn nothing happened.

i closed the trunk and then when i wanted to open it again i couldn't. WHERE is the RVC supposed to get 12 constant power??

funny thing, that after i unplugged that particular connector and plugged it into the stock OEM emblem, while inside the car in the trunk and pushed the emblem, the trunk opened.....but it will NOT open with the T-roc assembly/RVC/emblem

so my question is, WHERE is the stock OEM emblem getting it's 12V constant power?? so that the trunk opens when the stock OEM emblem is used?

so i'm at a loss....is there a SETTING now i have to do with vagcom now that i'm using the T-roc assembly???

to recap

-green wire is connected to a switched 12V
-the brown wire and purple wire are pushed into the black connector that came with the RVC and it is mated to the factory connector/plug
-the 2 wires black and clear go to the blue connector at pin 6 and 12
-blue wire is connected to the reverse light

anybody else have any other suggestions how i can get this working?? have i neglected something in the wiring??? i mean it's pretty straight forward, yet i still don't get any image on the screen OR this new T-roc rvc assembly is not opening the trunk lid the way the old OEM one did

thanks in advance.

after some more troubleshooting, SUCCESS!!!!!

RBmk6R: I'm very surprised and more than a tad disappointed!

hmm....... given the efforts of your fellow forum members in their attempts to help you fix this problem - the pithy declaration of "SUCCESS" and pictures of working RVC screens in your last post speaks volumes!!

The purpose of forums like this is the sharing of information with your fellow forum colleagues. Clearly from the plethora of replies to your original request - you have been the beneficiary of this forum objective!

I'm not sure if the missing information in your last post was deliberate- so the reason for the omission is unclear (to me at least!)

Maybe a reconsideration of the data-sharing imbalance in your last post might be prudent - entirely your decision, of course?

Sorry, my bad....i was just to excited i got the RVC to work....what an ordeal

so here it goes. One of the wires in one of the pictures I posted further up in this thread, (picture that shows the purple and brown wire), well the crimp pin that was crimped on the purple wire was NOT crimped properly, it was crimped on the jacket of the wire and NOT the copper wire itself.....MADE IN CHINA i guess, speaks volumes....LOL

so i soldered the wire to the original pin and VOILA.....everything works as intended.

thanks a lot to all of you guys that helped me with pointers/ideas through all of this.

I can understand the excitement you might have had at the success of a RVC image on your head-unit and that this may have contributed to your delayed response.
Well done on persisting with this, and for coming back in to explain what it was for your situation, that required intervention.
Chinese quality has been the bane for all of us at sometime or another. Seems Quality (non) control is still alive and well there.
Again, congrats. Great outcome.
