Rear View Camera

[SteveP]

I would route the cables down the drivers side under the plastic sill and then up behind the rear quarter panels to boot area.

Did you get the parts you were waiting for? If yes please post a pic.

[mantzas]

This is what I got for 21€ !

[SteveP]

Yes the parts are waiting for me at home.

I will post pictures later today.

[SteveP]

Here's the pics

The camera, camera bracket and end plate



Camera in the bracket



The end plate holding the camera in place



And now I understand why it's expensive for these bits of plastic and why I didn't know what chassis the 3W0 part numbers come from



Hence why the part is also listed for the Phaeton too.

Now I'm proud for my car!
And what is the shape of the cutting you're going to do? Square?

Steve, where does the end plate go ?, on the end of the housing to stop the camera popping out ?

As per the third pic, it holds the camera in place in the bracket.

[Shaun]

OK, that wasnt to clear on my iphone lol, so i guess you cut a square hole and it just clips in place ?

[SteveP]

Correct, I am going to pick-up a scrap bumper or some plastic sheet tomorrow and test fit the camera bracket so I can create a template to minimize risk when cutting a real rocco bumper.

I also think it will look better if the camera bracket is colour coded to the bumper

Nice, what was the bumper removal like ?, do you have process pics ?

[mantzas]

No pics sorry! The bumper removal involved torx unscrewing and uncliping. Nothing difficult.

were the clips hard to detach ?

[mantzas]

No! Not at all. You should start from the mud guards to the middle.
