    Rear View Camera retrofit clarification

    Hi all - can anyone clarify whether I need a controller or not to retrofit the RVC into my MY2015 A6 Avant with MIB2? The Kufatec kit kind of suggests that it doesn't? So just wiring and the grab handle camera plus some VCDS? I've got front and rear sensors already the MMI graphic etc... Cheers
