Finally... it is here! A retrofit/DIY guide for fitting a reverse camera (high) in detail to a 8V. I use this forum from time to time and its my turn to return something back! When I had my 8P, I was handing out the SDS hack for the RNS-E mk1 (which I still have should anyone need) but now I have an 8v S3 saloon, this is my contribution.
I would like to thank 2 people
1) My friend (a previous 8P owner) for allowing me to use his VCDS
2) DJAlix (active forum member) for stepping in with his VCDS and coding skills when I was only half able to complete the coding myself. A quick review on DJAlix (Alix), he is most friendly and helpful person and a delight to have met and spent time with! His knowledge of VCDS is exceptional and took no risks! Not only did he get to the bottom of my coding problems but he also added some very cool VCDS mods (Like mirror dip, oil temp, etc). Can't stress how helpful he is and a lovely person!
Now the fun stuff... unfortunately the guide is in much detail and is 30 so pages! Therefore I have created a PDF downloadable from here:

Need to check your connections, looks like something has come loose as the error you are seeing normally indicates a broken wire or plug.

Yup. What that error is basically saying is that there is a loss of connection so all connections will need to be checked:I have checked the connection between the module and the camera. That means I need to check those between the MMI and the camera?? (This part of the coxn is a lengthy task)

All the needed adaptations and codings are contained within the PDF guide. Although VCDS and VCP look different the adaptation and coding functions are the same.
Had the opportunity to conduct some testing around the issue which some people are having when trying to code the 6C Camera Module.
A module supplied with all 0's was returning "out of range" and "no end of line coding" errors. The module was posted to me, I made up a custom loom and connected the module to my own car for testing, and in order to resolve the issues a firmware re-flash and a parameterisation were needed.
If anyone encounters the same issues and cannot code their module, and cannot return / exchange it, please feel free to send me a message
Any chance we can setup a team viewer session? This will save a lot of messing about trying to fault find the issues, we can then update the thread once all is sorted
Sure! I'd sure appreciate the help. Let me know when and hopefully I won't be commuting! I'm in the pacific time zone and based on our previous conversation, we are quite a few hours apartAny chance we can setup a team viewer session?

will pm you tomorrow in order to get the ball rolling,Sure! I'd sure appreciate the help. Let me know when and hopefully I won't be commuting! I'm in the pacific time zone and based on our previous conversation, we are quite a few hours apart
PFL camera will work in a FL car but you should really use the FL camera, which now has the control module built in to the handle unit.
Cool cool. Only problem you might have is finding where to mount the control module as the FL is designed to have the phonebox power module and an amp module in the place where the module is mounted in the PFL. Will be space but no holes to mount the cage.
No problem, mine's the old unit with separate camera and module. I couldn't get it to show on screen when in reverse. A battery off reset didn't help. But an MMI button restart seems to have sorted it. Thanks
