Reversing Camera. Any tips?

Hi.

 

Have anybody fitted a Reversing Camera on their Octy lll yet?

I wonder the same thing. I have done it on Octavia II's with RNS510 installed, and I hope it is possible on this one as well. I hope someone can give a hint of what is needed? I guess the same electronics needed is used on the Volkswagens, but what are they...?

Do you know if the new bolero from Octavia 3 know about reverse camera, I meant has video input? or the camera works only with RNS?

I guess we need to know if the new screen has a composite video input and 12v trigger input, then it's just a case of wiring the camera. I did this on my current Kia as the sat nav screen/stereo has these inputs ready to use. Then again the reverse camera was a factory option on the Kia - I don't think it is on the Octi?

You can see the rear connections here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/288090-retrofit-new-columbus/page-2?hl=columbus on a removed bolero.

 

Looks like no luck there, just a quad lock and the wiring for the screen unfortunately.
