Hi folks,
I have on my Octavia regular (uglyest) foto gray rear view mirror that is same as the ones on much older VWs, such as Golf 5, Passat B5..
I found out today that a MY2016 rear view mirror exists along with a light assist camera, and it looks like I don't need to change my windshield for this update.
I am doing this mostly for the looks of my rear view mirror because it is hideous, and it is nice if I can activate this camera also.
Here is what I ordered on ebay today, and it only cost me ~37 eur + shipping.
As you can see, I will need to repaint the front part to be black like the current one, but that will be the easiest job.
I am 99% percent sure that I will not need to change my windshield with this upgrade.
But the camera bothers me. Does it require some sort of calibration? I believe there is no prepared wiring for this and i will need to connect this camera to my body computer. Can somebody provide me some diagram for this or tell me where to find one? Does this camera have sign assist and lane assist, or those features comes with a camera in a triangle housing?
What about the coding, I have OBD11 but I haven't found a topic with this type of upgrade, can somebody share with me the required coding for activating this?
Thanks, I hope others can also follow my lead, automatic headlights is a useful feature, and this mirror is a lot nicer, and the price is ridiculous.
