Group buy: RVC low for Passat, Tiguan, Octavia?

[kamold]

Interested if anyone has done one on an Octavia hatch, as that doesn't have a handle per se but has the touch button to release the boot.
Al..

The wagon is the same. Not sure if its the same part but if I had to guess I would say its the same.
Someone with ETKA and some spare time could confirm.

Thanks Kamold - I note you said you can use these with the RCD310 (which is what my old man's Skoda has) - anyone done this? Note he already has the OPS. Trying to sort his xmas present...

I'm almost 100% that the RCD310 doesn't support RVC.

You'll need a head unit that has:

1) a 26 pin connector on the back for RVC input
2) ability for the display to support pictures/images

Almost certain that the RCD310 misses out on both counts as I used to have RCD310 in my Tiguan and it definitely didn't have a 26 pin input for RVC and don't think the display was up to images as it was just a basic monochrome unit.

There is an RNS310 unit (smaller 5" Sat Nav unit), but I don't think these units were ever available in Australia.

hi guys

I bought the unit for my Skoda in the group buy.

Does anybody know of an installer (as you need to cut out the larger boot opening) for a Skoda Octavia wagon who has done the install previously? I'm Sydney based. Happy to pay a reasonable fee as I reckon its a job too big for my DIY skills

Also has anybody managed to code it to work with OPS on screen?

PM me if you know anybody up to the job and reputable

Actually just had a rethink and may not install it after all. If anybody wants to buy my brand new uninstalled RVC from the group buy, please PM me.

OK. I promised I'd post a photo so took one on the weekend and just got around to loading it up.

The camera just peeks out from under the rear hatch if you're down low.



If you're looking down from above, you can hardly notice that it's even there.



There was no cutting of the boot required. The old boot handle and new handle fit in exactly the same location - except the new one has a small part of the rubber section on the right end taken up with the camera.

I actually find it useful for locating the boot handle. Instead of groping around hunting for the handle if you take a look for the camera and then put your hand directly left you get the boot handle first time every time.

Added bonus and not a feature that you'd see the advertising material.

The RVC is not suitable for 2010 vRS sedan, the handle is smaller, so the camera is too big to be fitted.

[kamold]

It's suitable if the opening in the boot is resized.

Yeah, I know, but am kind of hesitant to do that.
