Reversing Camera for Skoda Fabia MkIII

Thanks a bunch @JGrindel I did come across that link earlier (by wirer), but now that you have mentioned it as well, that gives me more confidence to attempt it! ☺️ Would you be able to send a link of AliExpress Camera as well as there are just simply too many options on AliExpress and it's a bit confusing which one to go for - given that unlike Amazon there are long delivery times (coming fro China ofcourse) and returns might not be that straight forward either. How do I go about coding the VCDS, or any link etc to purchase VCDS. Please feel free to DM the links if that's breaking any sort of policy/ rules. Did you use the same camera that was mentioned in the guide by wirer? Apologies for so many questions! -

That's interesting, tried searching for that, would you mind telling me please any specific model that you would recommend? GoPro's seem to be quite expensive, and I spotted some wired camera's on AliExpress for £20 or so. Would a GoPro be mounted on the inside of the rear windscreen? (Apologies for the noob questions!) -

Thanks, so it's a Bolero MY17 system and I am guessing that there is no need to update my current version or perhaps there is no update available for that. Would you be able to kindly point me how to remove the trim in the attached photo - would normal trim removal tools suffice? I am assuming that the trim needs to be removed and that the rear wiper motor must be inside this. -
Hi, I have read lots of useful posts and especially from @weyland @SashaGrace and @pab567 , am trying to install a wireless reverse camera on my Fabia III, however I realise that getting the power to the camera from tailgate light could be quite challenging and hence I was wondering if I can use the rear wiper motor instead as a source of power for the parking camera. (If yes then how do I attach it, as in how do I access the wiring for the rear wiper motor) Any recommendations as to which one could be better - one of those wirelss cameras (from the likes of Auto Vox etc) or would one of those from AliExpress (link here) fit in my Fabia? these are the details of my Infotainment System: 5Q0035842B H30 0367 (Couldn't figure out how to tell whether it's Bolero or some other model, but guessing that the models perhaps determine whether or not those AliExpress Cameras can be fitted)
