I've put together a 'How to' guide here:

Thanks to SashaGrace and all those that have gone before me for the info on camera etc.

Finally managed to fit it. 

Works great. Although a higher res screen would make it really shine. 

 

 

In the process I managed to dislodge the trim behind the rear door. 

Any idea how to put it back in place. The clips that holds it really look that the trim need to be fully removed before it can be reused again.

Anyone know how to activate dynamic steering lines? I have it on my mk II but the dynamic lines are moving a little bit strange...

I get loads at a time so you get some decent discount for that. Seller is reliable and packing is very good.

 

Has anyone tried this camera on a MY2014 (late) with a Columbus MIB1?

Will it work?

Yes it will, but the handle is too big so you will have to cut the boot lid.

@SashaGrace Please can you recommend a camera that will fit the smaller boot lid hole (I've got a MIB1 Amundsen in an early 2015 Elegance estate)?

Thanks! Funny enough, by measurements I'm pretty sure it will fit.

I ordered a GreenYI camera, which had the right measurements but it had two screw type fittings, not clips, which my previous button has.

One like this will do it, ￡15.36  16％ Off | Auto Trunk Handle Car Rear View Reverse Backup Parking Camera For Skoda Octavia Fabia Superb Rapid Spaceback/Audi A1 A4L A6L Q3
https://a.aliexpress.com/_BS9P3P any handle that’s 92x35 and NTSC will do it  These handles have threads but there are two clips, think I got one with clips when I did my car. You can make a bracket though. Tbh since upgrading mine, I would cut the boot as the handle is so much nicer and it looks much tidier.

Hi

 

Finally managed to fit my camera for my 2013 octavia

 

Bought https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32867335459.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.503f4c4dxRmCn4

It was the correct size and the electric connector was also the right one.

I took power from reverse lamp.

Everything works fine.. Until i turn the engine on

The image goes to weird mess in few seconds.. When i turn engine off everything works just fine again

See the video https://streamable.com/rdf3uc

 

So is it faulty camera or any idea ? 

 

Changed the power to the camera from reverse lamp to rear tail light and still the same.. 

 

 

[Steversonix]

It’s because of AV signal loses... the AV wire is quite long. In my opinion... i have the same problem.

[Jankku]

Do i need to code anything else than that 5f byte 19 bit 4 ? 

 

my camera is really weird.. picture stays good and everything ok for as long as i keep power up.. When i start engine it goes to mess.. So i dont think it is wiring because why would it stay ok when engine is not running ? 

[langers2k]

The reverse light isn't a clean power supply, you could try fitting something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182274729146 - I've never tried one but it's pretty cheap.

 

An original lowline camera has power, ground and reverse signal to avoid this problem

[Scallystev]

My camera arrived today, will fit in half term. Or this weekend if I get impatient!

Could it be a lack of shielding somewhere on the signal line. In guitar stuff noise is most often caused by this.

Does anyone have suggestion where to get power to the camera ? its an saloon with no rear wiper or no power socket on boot. Or is the only option to wire the cable to the front fuse box? or is there anywhere +12v in the rear that i could tap into.. Yeah from google i found out that reverse light is not the best power source..

As you might guess, I'm (trying) doing mine now.

The pin is made from two parts. You need to push the circle  part in the center throug the pin.

[Scallystev]

Ok, I know how now.

The central "pin" pulls out, honest.

Once that's out the clip is cable to collapse and comes out easily.

At which point, you realise that it does not really improve access that much.

Thank you. I pulled it out with pliers, but the same effect.
