OKay.....now nice and slowly.....give us a guide of costs and step-by-step instructions.

Last I heard over at vwnavi, no one had managed to get any of the kits to work in a mk5.

lazy bar steward! Haha

[golfman]

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.

If you had given me a chance i would have def put a massive thanks to all on vw navi especially camelUK(barry whom iv'e been speaking to everyday on a mobile about this mod)
the reason for not mentioning camelUK was that i did not know if he was a member on this site and wanted to make sure i put a thank you on the ukmkivs site that i knew he was a member of

You probably need to check again.

Lol I used to read all RNS threads until about August. Then the site went down and I haven't bothered to check since.

Soo....gonna cost around £250 for parts and requires some hacking away at the boot and some dodgy wiring! 

[big al]

look ace, I would like to have that just to say that I have it, I don't mind turning my head over my shoulder when reversing (teasing!!!)

What would dealers charge for this if they could do it?

I don't mind wiring but I'm so cack-handed at the mechanical stuff that I'd probably bugger up the chopping off of the boot.

[JPC]

Think of how bad you might think you are stealth, times that by 3.142 and that how much a crap job the dealers would do. IMO of course. At pazz...so the "control unit" side of things is all taken care of by the camera unit itself?

[stealthwolf]

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

That's certainly something I gathered reading the thread over at vwnavi, which means the rest is just wiring.

As for dealers, not all do a bad job but I guess with time limitations, they'd be a bit rushed.

Hmmm....anyone wanna offer to fit mine if I pay them?

[JPC]

I'll do it for £100

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

[JPC]

It probably take power off an already fused switch live vc
