RNS510 and Reverse Camera
« on: March 27, 2011, 05:13:05 pm »
I've recently fitted an RNS510 to my ED30 and when I reverse the reverse camera screen pops up.

This got me thinking, instead of paying out alot of money for the genuine camera would something like this work?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320671441640&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp5197.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D320671441640%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

Or has anyone tried something like this?

Thanks

Dan

It won't plug straight in, you will need something like the Kufatec media adaptor and the quality will be very poor, plug the camera location will be way too low IMHO  :smiley:

You RNS510 has been coded for RVC. If it's secondhand, the person may have had it fitted to their car.

As above, realistically you need a VW one. I think GtiMad has one for sale.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
