<p><strong>Camera specs<br />
</strong><br />
VN2105<br />
Butterfly style mount<br />
Size: 20mm diameter and 25mm deep<br />
Viewing area: 150°<br />

<p>Camera purchased from Dealextreme for USD$110.35 delivered http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11408</p>
<h3>Step 1 &#8211; cut opening for camera in rear bumper</h3>
<p>The butterfly camera was chosen as I wanted to minimise drilling into the rear bumper and wanted a camera that was out of sight hence the area immediately above the number plate. The install of the camera was slightly complicated by the presence of a rectangular potted box so a larger hole has to be cut into the rear bumper, as the number plate is always fitted to the car I decided to cut the opening behind there and route the cable up behind the plate.</p>
<p>If the camera doesn&#8217;t have this box fitted the hole only needs to be slightly larger then the connector on the end of the cable. A dremel makes cutting the opening reasonably quickly with masking tape to mark out the cutlines and protect the surrounding paint.</p>
<h3>Step 2 &#8211; Remove trim</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Requirements: RNS 510 with firmware version 1100 or greater or RCD 510 (not sure of firmware version requirements for RCD 510 and not all RCD 510&#8242;s have the video input on the rear &#8211; at this stage only RCD 510&#8242;s supplied with cars optioned with the RVC come with the video input).</p>
<p>Most of the steps can be performed in any order (with a few exceptions). The wiring looms can be prepared in advance and details on how to build both the main wiring loom that links the camera to the RNS 510 and the camera in the hatch are being prepared. The hatch loom will include all measurements.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Examples of the camera in operation - <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1617/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Golf Mark VI Rear View Camera (RVC) In Operation</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">There is an alternative camera that is a third of the price of the auto opening camera, it hooks up in the same way but can be mounted in the rear bumper (under the lip over the number plate) or inside the rear glass. The part number is 5K0 980 551 (5K0980551) </span></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">The motorised camera only pops up when required, when the handle is operated normally the camera is hidden under a spring loaded flap. The camera can be seen in the second photo with the flap lifted. There is a drain that will safely drain any water that makes it&#8217;s way into that compartment out through the bottom of the hatch. </span><br />

<p>Removing the rear trim requires the use of a fair bit of force, the following guide gives a good idea however remove the two panels for replacing the reversing and foglight bulbs as this allows you to see where the clips are. <em>(this is a mark V removal guide but there is little difference between the mark V and Mark VI when removing this trim)</em></p>

<p>The power cable is not long enough for this application and needs to be extended, for consistency and future fault finding the cable should be extended in the middle by inserting a ~1.5 metre lengh of cable of around ~1mm size capable of carrying 5 to 7.5 amps.</p>
<p>On the camera end there should be around 20 cms of power cable going past the end of the connector (the spade connector on the end of this power cable can be removed) and on the RNS 510 end the wrapping should stop at around 80 cms and around 50 cms of power cable should be left free to enable connection to the fuse box.</p>
<h3>Extending the power cable</h3>
<p>Extending the cable in easy, twist the wires as shown after placing suitably sized heat shrink tubing on the wire, solder and shrink wrap.</p>

<h3>Wrapping the power cable and the video cable</h3>
<p>Wrapping the two cables together is strongly recommended to protect the cables during their installation,  to make future fault finding easier and make a neater installation that looks OEM.</p>

<h3>Installing the loom between the camera and the RNS 510.</h3>
<p>Due to the length of the cable it&#8217;s best to remove all the trim in one go so the cable can be positioned correctly, the cable runs down behind the RNS 510 and under the drivers steering wheel, down the A pillar, along the door sills, up alongside the seats and over the rear wheel arch, up a opening into the C pillar where the rear windscreen wiper fluid travels, through the conduit into the hatch and to the rear camera. Not all of this is covered in this install guide for example headunit removal and installation.</p>
<h4>RNS 510</h4>
<p>Remove the RNS 510 and plug the single 26 pin into the RNS 510 as shown, reinstall the RNS 510.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_plug_into_rns_510.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1442" title="vw_rvc_main_loom_plug_into_rns_510" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_plug_into_rns_510-150x112.jpg" alt="vw_rvc_main_loom_plug_into_rns_510" width="150" height="112" /></a></p>
<h4>A Pillar</h4>
<p>Remove the lower A Pillar trim and route the cables up and across to the rear of the RNS 510.</p>
<h4>Door Sills</h4>
<p>The door sills don&#8217;t need to be removed but only lifted to allow access to run the cable.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1473/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Golf Sill Panel Trims – Removal and Installation</a></p>
<p><strong>C Pillar</strong></p>
<div>Pull back the C pillar trim at the rear of the car enough to allow you to see the openings, there is no need to remove the airbag tag and unscrew it as was done here. Using some stiff wire or yellow tongue (stiff yet pliable plastic rod used by electricians to run cables through walls, ceilings etc) to penetrate into the cavity behind the tail light (pull the carpet out as you were replacing a bulb and this will give you enough room to route the cable. In the photo following you can see a black wrapped tube that runs into the hatch area, route the cable via the same penetration.</div>

<div>
<h4>Conduit</h4>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">First remove the plug surrounding the connector on the end of the cable, after this has been removed bend carefully the power wire and tape it down back over it&#8217;s body to prevent damage when running through the conduit. In the first photo a small lug can be seen on the left side, lift this up and slide the connector out. </span></span></div>
<div><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1443" title="vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_1" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_1-150x112.jpg" alt="vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_1" width="150" height="112" /></a> <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1444" title="vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_2" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_2-150x112.jpg" alt="vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_2" width="150" height="112" /></a></div>
<div>The conduit can easily be removed by pulling the top one out (gently) and for the bottom one pushing the bottom side up towards the roof of the car causing the clip to unhook, once this is unclipped the cable can be pushed through reasonably easily. Passing the cable through can be made easier if you use masking or electrical tape to remove the sharp edges of the connector.  Ensure that both ends are refitted tightly to prevent any leaks.</div>

<h4>Hatch</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1475/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Golf Rear Lid Trims – Removal and Installation</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1475/" target="_blank"></a>Remove the trim around the rear window paying particular attention if you have window film, there are three clips on the side which come off by pulling from the lower edge up (down as it&#8217;s upside down) towards the top of the glass. Once the three clips have popped you can pop off a few more that run along the top of the window to give you room to work, around 2/3rds of the clips across the top of the window provide enough room to work.</p>
<p>Run the loom with the existing cable by taping it to the two fixing points (white clip in strips) and put the trim back in place.</p>

<h2>Power Circuit</h2>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: normal;">Follow the guide <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/601/" target="_blank">Addition of extra circuits to the Volkswagen Golf / Jetta / Passat / EOS / Scirocco / Rabbit fuse box</a> and install a new circuit on the third row (permanent power &#8211; check before installation).</span></span></p>
<h2>Programming Head Unit</h2>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: normal;">Using Vagcom/VCDS the headunit requires programming to tell it of the existence of a RVC.</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This guide is just one of the steps to installing a Golf Mark VI RVC into a Golf Mark VI &#8211; <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/2837/" target="_blank">Installing a Golf Mark VI Rear View Camera (RVC) into a Golf Mark VI</a>.</p>
<p>The Volkswagen RVC Camera from the Mark VI has a drain hole under the camera in the housing and this does build up a substantial amount of water under the right circumstances, I found around a litre of water in the base of the hatch after a downpour and when the hatch was opened in ran down inside the area around the rear window. There are two problems with drainage into the rear hatch and one is that many Golfs have all three drainage holes plugged and painted over and the other is that not all water can drain but instead sits in the seam at the bottom of the hatch until the rear hatch is opened.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_drain_under_camera.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2067" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_drain_under_camera" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_drain_under_camera-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_drain_under_camera" width="300" height="225" /></a> <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_drain_under_camera_inside.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2068" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_drain_under_camera_inside" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_drain_under_camera_inside-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_drain_under_camera_inside" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><em>photos: the drainage hole at the base of the camera and the exit point under the camera.</em></p>
<p>I removed one of the drainage plugs in the middle and whilst it stopped the buildup of excess water I had concerns about the rear hatch long term especially when so much water can make it&#8217;s way inside the hatch. The Mark VI has a tube that drains to the outside and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve done here.</p>

<p>The tube fits in under the lip on the bottom of the hatch so will require some jiggling around to force it under.</p>

<h2>Drain Tube Comparision</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_tube_comparision_01.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2048" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_tube_comparision_01" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_tube_comparision_01-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_tube_comparision_01" width="300" height="225" /></a>The black drain tube is 8mm x 90mm<br />
(widest part at the base is 17mm)<br />
Volkswagen part number: 3C8 827 861 A (3C8827861A)</p>
<p>The clear drain tube is 6.5mm x  150mm<br />
(widest part at the base is 12mm)<br />
Volkswagen part number: 5K6 827 861 (5K6827861)</p>
<p>The Mark VI has the RVC mounted 35mm lower in the rear hatch so that drain alone will not reach the RVC drain.</p>

<p><em>photo: drain tube from a factory fitted RVC fitted to mark 6 GTI</em></p>
<h2>Widening the drainage hole</h2>
<p>The drainage hole needs to be widened to take the drain tube, using the drain tube mark a hole around 1mm larger than the tube, this hole has to be offset as shown or the drainage tube will not fit. If this guide is being read to retrofit the tube to an existing install read the instructions here  - <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1475/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Golf Rear Lid Trims – Removal and Installation</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2054" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_01" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_01-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_01" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Using masking tape mask up the area around the hole with multiple layers to protect the paintwork and tape over the surrounding areas to protect them from metal particles.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_02.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2055" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_02" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_02-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_02" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Put masking tape behind the hole and wedge some paper towels in there to stop metal particles from getting inside the rear hatch.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_03.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2056" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_03" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_03-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_03" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>To increase the size of the hole use a diamond coated tip with a Dremel to remove the metal, I wore out three tips to increase the size of the hole.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_04.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2057" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_04" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_04-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_04" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Use a hacksaw blade or similar to protect the paint on the rear part of the hatch.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_05.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2058" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_05" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_05-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_05" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The hacksaw blade needs to be removed for the final widening of the hole.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_06.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2059" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_06" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_06-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_06" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Test fit the tube to make sure it has fits in loosely.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_07.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2060" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_07" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_07-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_07" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Push the tube in and fit it in place to check, it will take some force to fit the back in. To remove push the tube out from behind whilst levering on the outside part.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_08.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2061" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_08" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_08-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_08" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>This tube is too short as the Mark VI RVC sits 35mm lower in the hatch, extending it will be shown in the next section.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_09.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2062" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_09" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_09-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_09" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Remove the tape and make sure there are no sharp edges.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_10.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2063" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_10" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_10-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_10" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Clean around the whole with a cleaning product in preparation for painting.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2064" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_11" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_11-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_11" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Paint around the hole with a metal primer to prevent rust.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_12.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2065" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_12" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_12-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_widening_the_hole_12" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<h2>Fitting the tube</h2>
<p>After the primer has dried push the tube in.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_01.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2070" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_01" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_01-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_01" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The tube fits in under the lip on the bottom of the hatch so will require some jiggling around to force it under.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_02.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2071" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_02" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_02-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_02" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>This tube is too short as the Mark VI has the RVC mounted 35mm lower.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_03.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2072" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_03" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_03-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_03" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Fortunately the other tube that was installed is made of a dense rubber and can stretch a bit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_04.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2077" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_04" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_04-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_04" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Force it over the clear tube as far down as you can get it and trim the top to fit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_05.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2074" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_05" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_05-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_05" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>After fitting I applied some silicone to stop it from rattling against the sheet metal next to it and a few blobs to stop it working it&#8217;s way loose from the camera.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_06.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2075" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_06" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_06-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_06" width="300" height="225" /></a> <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_07.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2076" title="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_07" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_07-300x225.jpg" alt="volkswagen_rvc_drainage_fitting_the_tube_07" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Requirements: RNS 510 with firmware version 1100 or greater or RCD 510 (not sure of firmware version requirements for RCD 510 and not all RCD 510&#8242;s have the video input on the rear &#8211; at this stage only RCD 510&#8242;s supplied with cars optioned with the RVC come with the video input).</p>
<p>Most of the steps can be performed in any order (with a few exceptions). The wiring looms can be prepared in advance and details on how to build both the main wiring loom that links the camera to the RNS 510 and the camera in the hatch are being prepared. The hatch loom will include all measurements.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Examples of the camera in operation - <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1617/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Golf Mark VI Rear View Camera (RVC) In Operation</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">There is an alternative camera that is a third of the price of the auto opening camera, it hooks up in the same way but can be mounted in the rear bumper (under the lip over the number plate) or inside the rear glass. The part number is 5K0 980 551 (5K0980551) </span></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">The motorised camera only pops up when required, when the handle is operated normally the camera is hidden under a spring loaded flap. The camera can be seen in the second photo with the flap lifted. There is a drain that will safely drain any water that makes it&#8217;s way into that compartment out through the bottom of the hatch. </span><br />

<p><strong>For Mark VI install until I develop a new guide for that the following changes need to be made to the  list.</strong></p>
<p>The only difference from my guide for the Mark V (Mark VI guide I&#8217;ll try and get up this week) is the following</p>
<p>Change the following two items</p>
<ul>
<li>1J0 972 923 (1J0972923) &#8211; 2 pin connector (connects to reverse light fitting)</li>
<li>1J0 972 712 (1J0972712) &#8211; 2 pin connector (connects to reverse light connector on harness)</li>

<li>191 972 713 (191972713) &#8211; 3 pin connector (connects to reverse light connector on harness)</li>
</ul>
<p>Change the quantity of the following</p>
<ul>
<li>000 979 129 (000979129) – Connector Repair wire x 1 (2 connectors required)</li>
</ul>
<p>to</p>
<ul>
<li>000 979 129 (000979129) – Connector Repair wire x 2 (3 connectors required)</li>
</ul>
<p>And delete the following item</p>
<ul>
<li>3C8 827 861 A (3C8827861A) – Passat Drain Tube</li>
</ul>
<p>The main difference is that the reverse connector that we are taking power from has 3 connectors instead of two on the Mark V and that handle mounts lower on the Mark VI so the extension is not required for the drain tube.</p>

<h2>Removing the rear lid trim panel</h2>
<p>Removing the rear trim requires the use of a fair bit of force, the following guide gives a good idea however remove the two panels for replacing the reversing and foglight bulbs as this allows you to see where the clips are.</p>

<h3><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;"><strong>Installation of new badge with camera</strong> </span></h3>
<p>Modifications to the sheet metal in the rear hatch and the rear wiper assembly are required to fit the Mark VI RVC. Either an angle grinder or a dremel is required to perform this work and something to protect the exposed metal edge like a rust primer.</p>
<p>The differences between the old and new are highlighted below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_comparision_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1455" title="vw_rvc_comparision_1" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_comparision_1-150x112.jpg" alt="vw_rvc_comparision_1" width="150" height="112" /></a> <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_comparision_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1456" title="vw_rvc_comparision_2" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_comparision_2-150x112.jpg" alt="vw_rvc_comparision_2" width="150" height="112" /></a></p>

<h3>Remove rear wiper</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1484/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Golf Rear Window Wiper – Removal and Installation</a></p>

<p>Remove the additional leg as shown, a dremel with a cut off disc works well.</p>

<h3>Remove handle</h3>
<p>First disconnect the connector, remove the three torx screw and turn the unit clockwise to unlock it for removal.</p>

<h3>Removal of excess sheet metal</h3>
<p>As the photo below shows the new badge and how it intrudes into the area with the threaded post sticking out of the sheet metal. To enable this to fit we need to cut away the excess sheet metal.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_hatch_mod_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1460" title="vw_rvc_hatch_mod_1" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_hatch_mod_1-150x112.jpg" alt="vw_rvc_hatch_mod_1" width="150" height="112" /></a></p>
<p>First mark out the area to be cut, the example shown is actually not wide enough and had to be recut. The measurements for the cutout are 60mm horizontal and 55mm vertical. A dremel with a cutoff wheel performs the cuts in less than a minute. Use a suitable grinding stone on the dremel to round off the cut and to remove any sharp pieces of metal. A lot of fine metal particles are created with the cutting so I attached some papertowels in a U shape under the badge which caught most of them.</p>

<p>Next vacuum and wipe down the area with a suitable cleaner and touch up the bare metal with a rust primer.</p>

<h2>Installing the drainage</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">Install the drainage tube requires widening the hole in the rear of the hatch.

<h2><strong>Loom between Rear Badge and RNS 510</strong></h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">(can be constructed prior)</span></h2>
<p>Quad Connector on the end that interfaces to the camera is a 4E0 035 749 B (4E0035759B)</p>
<p>26 Pin connector on the end that interfaces to the RNS 510 is a 7L6 972 726 (7L6972726)</p>

</ul>
<p>Cable is a Bacar(R)588-2 / 10712189 &#8211; no specs found</p>
<p>The power cable is not long enough for this application and needs to be extended, for consistency and future fault finding the cable should be extended in the middle by inserting a ~1.5 metre lengh of cable of around ~1mm size capable of carrying 5 to 7.5 amps.</p>
<p>On the camera end there should be around 20 cms of power cable going past the end of the connector (the spade connector on the end of this power cable can be removed) and on the RNS 510 end the wrapping should stop at around 80 cms and around 50 cms of power cable should be left free to enable connection to the fuse box.</p>
<h3>Extending the power cable</h3>
<p>Extending the cable in easy, twist the wires as shown after placing suitably sized heat shrink tubing on the wire, solder and shrink wrap.</p>

<h3>Wrapping the power cable and the video cable</h3>
<p>Wrapping the two cables together is strongly recommended to protect the cables during their installation,  to make future fault finding easier and make a neater installation that looks OEM.</p>

<h3>Installing the loom between the camera and the RNS 510.</h3>
<p>Due to the length of the cable it&#8217;s best to remove all the trim in one go so the cable can be positioned correctly, the cable runs down behind the RNS 510 and under the drivers steering wheel, down the A pillar, along the door sills, up alongside the seats and over the rear wheel arch, up a opening into the C pillar where the rear windscreen wiper fluid travels, through the conduit into the hatch and to the rear camera. Not all of this is covered in this install guide for example headunit removal and installation.</p>
<h4>RNS 510</h4>
<p>Remove the RNS 510 and plug the single 26 pin into the RNS 510 as shown, reinstall the RNS 510.</p>

<h4>A Pillar</h4>
<p>Remove the lower A Pillar trim and route the cables up and across to the rear of the RNS 510.</p>
<h4>Door Sills</h4>
<p>The door sills don&#8217;t need to be removed but only lifted to allow access to run the cable.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1473/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Golf Sill Panel Trims – Removal and Installation</a></p>
<p><strong>C Pillar</strong></p>
<div>Pull back the C pillar trim at the rear of the car enough to allow you to see the openings, there is no need to remove the airbag tag and unscrew it as was done here. Using some stiff wire or yellow tongue (stiff yet pliable plastic rod used by electricians to run cables through walls, ceilings etc) to penetrate into the cavity behind the tail light (pull the carpet out as you were replacing a bulb and this will give you enough room to route the cable. In the photo following you can see a black wrapped tube that runs into the hatch area, route the cable via the same penetration.</div>

<div>
<h4>Conduit</h4>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">First remove the plug surrounding the connector on the end of the cable, after this has been removed bend carefully the power wire and tape it down back over it&#8217;s body to prevent damage when running through the conduit. In the first photo a small lug can be seen on the left side, lift this up and slide the connector out. </span></span></div>
<div><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1443" title="vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_1" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_1-150x112.jpg" alt="vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_1" width="150" height="112" /></a> <a href="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1444" title="vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_2" src="http://www.my-gti.com/wp-content/uploads/vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_2-150x112.jpg" alt="vw_rvc_main_loom_run_through_conduit_2" width="150" height="112" /></a></div>
<div>The conduit can easily be removed by pulling the top one out (gently) and for the bottom one pushing the bottom side up towards the roof of the car causing the clip to unhook, once this is unclipped the cable can be pushed through reasonably easily. Passing the cable through can be made easier if you use masking or electrical tape to remove the sharp edges of the connector.  Ensure that both ends are refitted tightly to prevent any leaks.</div>

<h4>Hatch</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.my-gti.com/1475/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Golf Rear Lid Trims – Removal and Installation</a></p>
<p>Remove the trim around the rear window paying particular attention if you have window film, there are three clips on the side which come off by pulling from the lower edge up (down as it&#8217;s upside down) towards the top of the glass. Once the three clips have popped you can pop off a few more that run along the top of the window to give you room to work, around 2/3rds of the clips across the top of the window provide enough room to work.</p>
<p>Run the loom with the existing cable by taping it to the two fixing points (white clip in strips) and put the trim back in place.</p>

<p>The Golf can have the factory reverse system from other models (generally Tiguan 5N0)  installed, there are a few caveats that must be checked first as some components in the car must be a particular revision or higher.</p>
<p>Gateway needs to be 3C0 907 530 H or higher. For the Tiguan or Passat controller you need to use a 9-byte long CAN gateway (L or N at the end), the Touareg controller may only require a 8 byte controller.</p>
<p>Kufatec sell a harness that connects the RNS510 to the reverse camera controller for 89 euros.</p>
<p>Parts required for install (not using the hatch/boot release detailed below)</p>
<p>Reverse Controller Tiguan- 5N0907441<br />
Reverse Controller Toureg &#8211; 7L6907441B  (not recommended)<br />
Reverse Controller Holder &#8211; 5N0909537A<br />
Camera &#8211; 5N0980551A<br />
Cable for Camera 3M &#8211; 000098654A</p>
<p>Using VCDS/Vagcom you need to code the CAN gateway (19), the RNS510 (37 or 56), the RVC controller with 0010007 and then perform a camera calibration.</p>
<p><strong>Camera mounting option &#8211; rear hatch/boot release</strong></p>
<p>Integrating the camera into the rear pop up hatch release has been a project I&#8217;ve been looking into for a while, this is now made easier by the release of the MK6 Golf as this has a camera integrated into the hatch release.</p>
<p>Part Numbers</p>
<p>Golf 6 hatch release &#8211; 5K0 827 469J<br />
Passat CC boot release &#8211; 5K0 827 469H</p>
<p>Mounting gasket is the same for Golf 6, Passat CC and Golf 5. Switch for the hatch/boot release is the same as well.</p>
