Thank you. My new lead has arrived and I can now access the module. Does anyone have a link to a good video showing the programming process?
Assuming you’ve got VCDS…before you make any changes, save a full scan of the vehicle that way you can always revert it back if you mess it up while making any changes.
Make sure ignition is on, there’s two modules you'll need to access to code the camera into the system, access the following modules and click on long coding, use the up / down arrow keys to scroll through the bytes until you get to the relevant one and make the following changes;
Module 5F - (Coding) byte 19 - bit 4 (Tick box), then press exit and then the big button that says “Do It” to save the coding into the module.
Module 10 - (Coding) byte 2 - bit 4-5 (Drop down menu, select rearview camera), then press exit and then the big button that says “Do It” to save the coding into the module.
Once you’ve done that, exit VCDS and power down ignition for 10 seconds and back on…stick it in reverse and you should be good to go

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions I now have a working camera. I really appreciate all the help and contributions from everyone. 
We’ll done! It’s an incredibly worthwhile upgrade. I appreciate my camera every time I get in my van.
Congrats, glad you got it sorted
Hi, I am wanting to fit a RVC and have it displayed on the head unit which is the Composition Colour with a 6.5in screen. Part No in attached photo.. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and where I could get one fitted (Glasgow area) or is there a kit that I could fit myself.
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks for the reply, Is the camera you sell all that I need to install with no mods to the head unit? I would get you to install but too far away! Also would the Ross-Tech VCDS Hex-v2 be able to do the coding for T6.1s or does it need to be the HEX-NET?
Are there different versions of the oem camera ont the 6.1 high and low line
Does the non vw one show moving guide lines with steering
Does the non vw one show moving guide lines with steering
When I last researched, the price for the “Highline” model was more than twice the “lowline”. I went with the more affordable option and I’ve never found myself wishing I’d paid for the other.
I think it’s also much more complex to fit.

Hello,
I am complete noob here. On the camera you sent in the link I see there are cables from camera - I guess you connect these somewhere in the rear door. Then you have another cable, I guess you connect it somewhere on the radio module behind glovebox as posted by Absolut5. But I could not find any specific information on where to connect it exactly. Would you be so kind and post it? Or where did you find this information, does it come with the camera?
genuine cam , has brown Ground wire and a yellow reverse wire, connected in the rear quarter and at reverse light, then the av and power done behind the radio.
Yes the camera comes with connection instructions detailing exactly where to connect on the rear of the head unit. They suggest splicing into the head unit 12V supply to feed the camera, but this is fused at 20A and the camera 12V wire is tiny , so I fitted my own 2A fuse.
At the camera end, it simply plugs in, no instructions needed.
If that's true then the one in the link isn't genuine, as advertised. For the one in the link all connections are made behind the radio, unless like me, you object to 0.25sqmm cable having a 20A fuse.
certainly do not object to fusing everything properly… safety is paramount
