Reversing Camera VCDS coding prior to hardware install

[markcalv]

Looking to fit a reversing camera to my T6. If I get the VCDS coding done before actually fitting the camera will it cause any major issues? Assuming it'll throw up errors whilst it's not connected properly, but are there any other reasons for not doing the config before the actual install?

Preference was to get the coding done before the install so I can check the wiring/connectivity before fulling plumbing things in. Camera is an original VW one on a Discovery media unit.

Shouldn't cause any issues. Not even in parking sensors. I have had my camera offline and can't remember having any side effects... certainly could be also my memory failing

Spoiler: Coding

Hi, I have fitted my camera, VCDS turned up today, so are there some instructions on where to go on the software to activate the camera please?
