Hi, i have a Golf MK7 MY17 without parking
sensors. It's s possible to activate rear camera for
retrofit?? I've just coded byte 19 bit 4 with no
succes...the screen turn in black for a second and
shows "park Pilot error" and goes back to radio
screen. The infotaintment is 3Q0035824A. Thanks a

fedemza: a few self-evident questions that may be beneficial:

have you physically retrofitted the rear camera into the hatch VW emblem?

have you wired the new rear camera power terminals?

have you connected the video signal leads from the new rear camera to the rear connectors on the MIB (what you call "The infotaintment" unit)?

Please don't ask questions about car coding/repair via the forum "Message" function. The better place for such dialogue is in the forum proper. That way, the wider expertise of the entire forum community can be applied to solve your problem - thank you

It is possible and Just like Don Suggested, check your wiring.

And that happend to me when i retrofitted mine, and there was a fault code that says RVC No Signal, It turned out my camera was bad but in your case it might be the wiring.

Don the camera is not original..it's an aftermarket camera for lisence plate.
I wired the camera from battery directly to have power without interruptions..
I wired the video signal leads to the quadlock pin 6 for positive and pin 12 for gnd
I coded byte 19 bit 4 to active rear low view camera

Today I've just tried with a videocamera conecting for RCA video and nothing happened.. Same error..

Have you connected the Reverse signal wire?

And If your unit is an MIB 1 Then it might not be compatible with a RVC.

^^^fedemza: If you had "Parking sensors", I'd suggest that you modify the long coding entry in the Parking Assistant module @ address hex76 (it's called "camera type" and the entry needs to be set to "Rearview camera") - see the pic below

Again, if you had parking sensors, If you want to use the "Byte/Bit" entry method - you need to place a tick in Byte 2, Bit 4 of the control module @ hex76

Why don't you post-up a copy of your scan report, so we can see the equipment level in your car

Yes i conected in quadlock pin 6 and pin 12. Mine is MIB II MY17

There is a wire on the camera that needs to be connected to the reverse light in the boot, have you done that? The camera will not open without it.

I conected the camera power to the battery directly to try out before wiring. I think that on that way it should work

dude he’s got a aftermarket license plate camera not a badge pop out camera 😉

Really silly question but are you sure you put the pins all the way in on the quad lock? As you don’t just slide them in, you have to open the connector to lock them in?

It doesnt matter xD, the camera needs to know when it is on reverse to activate, ive installed about 20 of those. they are all the same.
It has 4 connections that need to be made

12v Which he has
Ground probably has too
Video He has
Reverse signal probably not.

The camera has a video wire that y converted to a RCA an put it on quadlock in pin 6 for positive and pin 12 for mass. Then has 2 cables the red one i conected to the 12v+ battery and the black one i conected to the 12v- battery
How can i conected the reverse signal?

Sorry my bad English.

Black/blue wire in the boot lid mate, (there are 2 in mine, one goes the the reverse light, the other doesn’t it goes to the opposite side and does not work)

You are using the blue plug in the quad lock, and 6/12 are in the middle (12 being the earth towards the outside of the quad)

Just checking 😉

I've just checked it. The black/blue wire i conected the blue with the red one to bypass the reverse light and the black one i conected to the gnd. So i think is not a wired problem..i think that is a coding missing or my infotaintment is not compatible..very strange..

fedemza: I'm reading your discussion with vwjap with a degree of interest and I'm a little confused! Here's a section of the VW schematic for the rearview camera (R189) which I have put together from a number of wiring diagrams.

The thing to note in the picture is the bit that I have circled - J519 is the "BCM" and it's what OBD11 calls the Central elect module (@ address hex09). Notice that the blue/black wire is connected to "T73a/64" - which means that the wire is connected to pin# 64 on Socket "a" on the BCM ("T73" means that socket A has a total of 73 pins). This is the wire that initiates the turn-on for the rear view camera. Note: this trigger wire is entirely separate to the power supply wires to the rear view camera - the +ve battery supply is the yellow/red wire in the picture which is connected to fuse #18 on the "C" fuse-block.

Hope you are still following this -now, as a separate exercise if your look at the Leuchte-sets on a mk7, you will find that the right-side reversing lamp is controlled by Leuchte29RFL RA64

Notice the "A" and "64" in the leuchte-set name - this means that the lamp is controlled by pin# 64 on Socket "A" on the BCM. yes, the same pin as the "trigger pin" for the rear view camera!

So, just as a suggestion, engage the hand brake and put the car into reverse. The reverse lights should illuminate (particularly the right-side lamp)' Grab a voltmeter/multimeter and measure the volts on your trigger wire for the retrofitted camera (again, note that this wire is NOT the +ve 12 volt wire that provides power to the camera). If your wiring is correct, the trigger wire should read 12volts (or there abouts). Put the transmission out of reverse and again measure the voltage on the same pin/wire on your new camera - the trigger wire should now read 0 volts.

Hope this all makes sense!

Black/blue wire in the boot lid mate, (there are 2 in mine, one goes the the reverse light, the other doesn’t it goes to the opposite side and does not work)

You are using the blue plug in the quad lock, and 6/12 are in the middle (12 being the earth towards the outside of the quad)

Just checking 😉

I've just checked it. The black/blue wire i conected the blue with the red one to bypass the reverse light and the black one i conected to the gnd. So i think is not a wired problem..i think that is a coding missing or my infotaintment is not compatible..very strange..

So if i understand, you wired the reverse wire to the battery together with the power wire? to bypass the need for reverse signal?

Hi all,
I’ve read this with interest.
I am also trying to fit a number plate style camera not emblem flip out type.
I don’t have park assist and my infotainment system is an MIB std
I can change the 5F coding to allow the screen to change when reverse gear is selected, I have added a connector to the blue plug at the rear of the infotainment unit, I have provided power to the camera but still no picture.

In essence is my system too basic and without park assist is it going to be impossible to retrofit a camera?

Thanks all.
