Good day all

I recently retrofitted a OEM RVC and everything is working correctly except for having to select the camera every time I put it in reverse. By default it goes to the Park Assist screen.

Is there a way to change the default screen to the camera. It is a 2015 Avant.
 
The coding is wrong - should show the camera with the parking aid in the bottom corner.
Have you got vcds?

With VCDS go to Controller 09 Central Electrics, then Long Coding, Long Coding Helper.
Select Byte 35 and tick bit 4. If bit 4 is not available as it was on mine, select "LCode2" on the top menu which should allow you to select Bit 4. This will change the HEX value to 34. Once Coded you need to go into the Parking Sensor Menu on the MMi, then disable Display and then re-enable the display (This is very important!)
The Reverse Camera will now be the default when reverse is selected and the OPC display will show on the right side over the camera image.

Make sure 6C is ticked in CAN gateway Installation list.
Make sure 5F is coded for byte 7, bit 1. Reboot MMI. Make sure 6C is coded correctly.

If you have a MMI 3G+ with nav you need the following.

Camera 5N0 827 566 AA
Controller 8T0907441C
Module Bracket 8K0907392A
Kufatec Loom Kit(it was too short as it was made for EU cars, extended and was ok)

You can follow the instructions that come with the kufatec and search other people as i did not take any pictures. only tricky bit was the power and the can bus wiring, rest is simple but be prepared to remove ALOT of plastic panelling carefully or the will break, I tried to follow the OEM route.

As for MMI 2G, i have no idea but there is a loom for that too.

Good Luck

Thanks it is mmi3g did you get all the parts from Kufatec?
Thanks again mate
 
I got most of it off of fleabay but also got quotes from audi. Just beware. There are some people claiming to sell a kit with new parts and its not.
I got caught and the clips were broken off of the camera and clearly 2nd hand. Luckily I had buyers protection and sent it back for a full refund.

Camera
ebay - 120
audi - 240

Controller
ebay - 180
audi - 310

Module Bracket
audi - 10

Kufatec Loom (there is another loom some people sell, the only things I didnt like about the kufatec was that all the wires were the same colour and not like the OEM wire colours and it was to sort)
Kufatech - 62

Thanks
