Areaview Retrofit Progress

[Reaper1]

Finally got It to work, the main connector seems to not fully Insert into the module, took the connector shell off and it worked.( Was having some hard time getting It to work but the problem was there were no cameras connected, once I connected 1 camera the display was working)

Only coding change I made as In park assist module, change camera type to Environmental camera.

Would you guys mind sharing your 6C coding?, Trying to fine tune the coding but not so sure what needs to be coded.

Will probably not work, Pretty sure golf 8 mirror Is a bit different.

This seller also has for golf 7 but still designing it.

Looks like you’d need the whole mirror assembly too . . .

I've seen pictures of the whole mirror assembly, mounting does not look the same. Messaged them about the "Golf Mk7" lower shell. Got an auto-response about a spring festival saying to expect up to a 72 hour delay.

It was showing 1 piece available, which I thought was interesting.

I have bought this a month a ago, He didn't ship, and then sent a message that It Is still in designing and will be done In about a year.

A new style emblem can be modified to fit a golf 7 rearview camera emblem.

How am i supposed to connect these two? Do I have to take apart the emblem and connect the wire straight to the camera?

I have same harness

Still waiting for camera facelift of Arteon but of a picture looks like same as you have.

Hey, To make It as clean as possible you will need to order an extension cable.

I contacted this seller on Aliexpress and asked him to make a custom cable. https://bevotoprfconnectorcable.ali...o.order_list.order_list_main.2.3e0d1802K57dS5

You need two male connectors that match the two females on the emblem itself, and make sure the wiring isn't like the usual Fakra method, It needs to be
pin1 - pin1
pin2 - pin2
pin3 - pin3
pin4 - pin4
