MK6 rear camera fitted to my MK5 golf!!!

So, power wise, how is this fused? does the fusebox need to be modified? i would assume it would

cutting, chopping and installing i can do.... electrics are not my strong point

If you use the proper 'repair wires' you can fit them directly to the fuse panel so it looks a pukka job.

You're right you can.

Enquired at my stealer about the cost of the Camera, and using the part number given earlier in this thread does not compute.

Sorry I should of mentioned the "ULM" part. But if your techy at VW knew what he was doing he would of completed the part number for you.  THe other version is for Japanese only cars.

Its pretty easy to create the two looms which are required. I've got this far, just need the penny's for the camera unit.

Just invovles a bit of splicing into wires, soldering insultating.

Errr, great....

BUT, it would of been nice to see a VWNavi reference in the above post. Especially the VWNavi member CamelUK who alongside myself and a couple of other members have spent a long time researching this. CamelUK has also wasted a fair bit of cash on VW parts.

Please give credit where its due.

There is a guide which CamelUK has made and a topic on VWNavi thats 18 pages long. The guide has all the parts you need and a how to with picture. If someone pm's me I will send the link or email you it. This is only because his website may be overloaded if I just post the link.

Nice one dave

nice job

At pazz...so the "control unit" side of things is all taken care of by the camera unit itself?

Yes, thats right. Because all the Kufatec (mk5 golf) kits used a control module we presumed the VW part would be on ETKA. So we spent a while searching through the latest ETKA updates for a MK6 control unit. Of which we never found.

It wasnt unit a member called golfgti5 managed to obtain a wiring diagram from his local VW tech; albeit in dutch! And even without google translate the diagrams alone showed us that there was no control module for the MK6 RVC (rear view camera). The video out was already RGB signal and went straight into the RNS-510.

For those who like wiring diagrams heres the english variant courtesy of lala30 on VWNavi.

I've not done anything to my RNS yet but I've been paying great attention to CamelUK's stuff - he is the man (and I'm sure you are too)

So, power wise, how is this fused?

The wiring diagram I mentioned in the post above shows that the MK6 uses a 5A fuse (component SC16). Could do this a few ways. Including tapping into the original fuse box in the footwell. Or finding another live???

EDIT: Just remembered I have this in my bookmarks which is a DIY guide to adding a 5A into the footwell fusebox.

Deffo gonna consider this mod! :D

As I said in the other thread Lee if I had a GTi I would be doing this.

[ollie288]

The only bit that needs to be cut is the rear wiper motor leg? Nothing else needs to be changed? (excluding wiring)

From what I've seen you need to cut the inner skin of the tailgate.
