Hi all, can anyone clarify for me if a module is needed for the reversing badge with the Part number :5K0827469APULM.


Thanks for any help with this.

I thought I answered your question in text messages

The Camera has Grey plug, all cameras with the Grey plugs require a module and extra wiring

If your camera has a blue plug then it doesn't require a module

Thanks ed. I couldn't find any more information on it and didnt like to keep asking you. Will be hard trying to find a second hand module for sale. There no way around not using a module then, I can't change the grey connecter to a blue one? Or is that stupid.

Thanks

Hi Steve

Would like to know if you have installed the Retrofit rear view camera on a Golf 5, does the boot opening function still work if the car is not locked and what prevents the boot from not opening if the car is shifted into reverse and it’s not locked??

Hope to hear back.

Boot opening will work till you lock the car even with the ignition off (providing it has been wired up correctly)

quick question....
i have a loom that was supplied with the rvc
3 grey wires about a foot long ..1.has round loop connection for an earth
                                                   2.says steady fast and has a female terminal pin on the end(12v live i guess)
                                                    3rd one says signal wire with no connection just bare wire end but where can it go to????....too short to go to switch or to rear lamp...is there a cecm pin location for this wire to go or somewhere i can splice into??

any words of wisdom???

Hopefully someone can help with this. I bought a car that the previous owner had fitted a mk6 badge into. But when reverse is engaged the screen goes black on the 510, but the camera on the badge doesn't flip open. Also you can't open the boot using the handle only the key will open it off the solenoid. Any ideas as to if a wire has come loose. Sounds like 12v permanent might be the culprit??? Any advice appreciated.

Does sound like a 12v issue. Check the fuse or the wire if it's got 12v with a voltmeter.

This happened to me today a few times but fixed itself. Might be something to do with the snow and cold weather.

A super excellent write up... I want one!

Will this be just as easy with an RCD510?
