Any pointers ? Did you just plug it to the radio or did you have to connect it to the BCM as well? Plus coding I assume. Thanks

Model Radio 5G0035844 & Rear Camera Retrofit
- Thread starter paulkromz
- Start date
the harness that came with it had the wrong pins on it for the video/shield that plugs into the radio. had to use some VW terminal repair wire sets. the harness pictured in the ebay auction has the right terminals tho.
harness runs from the rear emblem, around the right side of the hatch, through the right side rubber wire harness boot into the rear of the roof, then down the right c-pillar, down the right rear wheel housing (trim next to right rear seat back), along the right sill to the right lower a-pillar trim (kick panel) and up into the glove box. 2 terminals go into the radio.
then the harness continues behind the dash to the left side of the car, 1 pin goes to the vacant SC18 (need a 7.5a fuse) and the other pin goes to plug "a" of the j519 for the reversing signal.
to do it properly, the complete center console, left knee trims, fuse box, right sill panels, left and right kick panels (and hood release lever), rear seat bench, right rear seat back side trim, right c-pillar, and all of the hatch trim have to come off.
the PDF the seller sent me says "fitting time of approximately 60 minutes" is complete BS. i could probably do another one i about 4-5 hours
on the plus side, everything worked and all i needed to do was change one bit for the video feed to show up.

Too bad you didnt post any good pics... LOL.
I don't think that one could ask for more, thanks for your help, I'm familiar with tear down from when I installed my sub , but I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to go over past the CD player or the screen

@SLAB. Any chance you can share your VCDS coding?
If you look at the very last page here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9aGdahUNWC-WGFWN2VkcDZTQ2c/view?pref=2&pli=1
that's all i changed. I have a USA spec Golf TSI S without park assist so i don't have Address 76.
Address 5F "Information Electronics" is the radio.
Go to Address 5F, then coding, then Byte 19, then change Bit #4 to a 1 (xxx1xxxx) This is all i did to my car. Everything else stays the same.

@paulkromz, @SLAB,
Can you post your Infotainment Part number?
When go to SETUP, then System Information - there is an Infotainment Part number,
According to this page:
http://www.carsystems.pl/vw-golf-7-5q0-5g0-rear-mid-line-camera-kit,id1017.html
It shouldn't work for part no 5G0035819A.
Can you check it on your side?
