Retro fit reverse camera

[mk4gtiturbo]

Just been looking at the Bay and have seen some reverse cameras, fairly cheap. Has anyone done this and was the install easy? If so, what did you use?

Been looking at something like this:

The important bit of detail in the advert is:

"Please note - this is just a camera, you will require an interface to connect it to your original Audi screen such as this one

Ah, so I am guessing I can't just poke some wires into the back on the MMI.

Well you can go either way... oem retrofit kit or interface + generic cam.

Have a search on the forum. A few have done it including my self and i would say its not a hard job but a pain in the ****. There is a list of bits of one of the posts you also need VCDS to code it. Think it ended up around £400 with buying the unit from america.

I fitted mine but I also installed the dynavin head unit to operate it. Easy enough to install. Only issue I had was I had to wire in a relay to the switched live from the reverse light as it was cause the the power to drop and the camera was cutting in and out. All good now tho.
