I have went with this camera that AIVal went for

 

have done the coding suggested using OBD11, but unfortunately I still have no camera! 🙈

 

I have a No basic setting fault in 6c module. And I guess linked to this a Data bus (additional installations detected) fault in 19. 

 

I think that's an OEM highline camera rather than the Chinese variant.

 

No basic settings is normal unless you calibrate it. It doesn't effect functionally. The addition installations detected suggested you've not coded it properly...

 

What coding did you do exactly? Did you add 6C to the CAN gateway installation list?

Hi Langers2k,

 

apologies, I may have been a bit hasty with my post…. Today I have been away in the car and the camera worked! 🙈 I’m guessing something needed a reset…

for the benefit of others, in OBDII I changed the following.

 

Added 6c to gateway list. (I did this while trying to resolve problems in my previous post with towbar wiring at same time,  maybe  it would go in automatically….)

 

Long coding option in 6c and look for Byte19_rear_Viev_low and change the options to Activated.

then module 76 and with the same long coding you look for the camera type option.

(pinched from another post, credit kacluk in ‘Reversing camera install’ thread.)
 

I still have the 2 faults, should I be expecting just the basic settings fault? Would like to get it calibrated, note you did it on your Octavia, I wonder if anyone has the gear to do it up in Scotland… I can print a VAS6530 board at my work…. 🤔👍

 

my next plan is to double check the activation I did for the towbar wiring, I have a feeling I have activated something I shouldn’t have giving this extra fault… although it was not showing until the camera was wired in yesterday.

 

cheers

Marc

Camera with washer is an extra and most of them don’t have it but I only fit them with the washer. You can retrofit the washer to some cameras without it, just drill though the handle in the right place and plumb in as you normally would.

what do you use to plumb up the camera washer. do you just use a Y splitter from halfords and some washer hose or do you use the Skoda kit. if you use the Skoda kit do you have a part number for it as i fond one on cars-equipment but they want almost as much to post it as the kit costs ?

I revive the thread for having bought the camera in AliExpress for only 34 euros.

 

After testing that it works, which cost me more than expected because the glove compartment module did not come out, I am waiting to get some time and be able to install it permanently.

Installed with no major problems other than removing the clip to get the cables from the media unit out of the glove box and the C-pillar, which I had to remove from the upper side of the boot.

 

The camera only has the options typical of a camera (contrast, brightness and color) but it looks good and does not fail, for 37 euros and 3 hours entertained in the car it seems to me something recommendable.

Need some help...if anyone can as I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or if the kit is simply not compatible.

I am trying to install one of the Sinosmart cameras(MQB-CAM A), I have 2018 Superb with the 9.2" screen.

When I connect the supplied harness to the head unit and to the original harness, the screen will not come on it displays nothing. If I reconnect the original harness to the head unit the screen comes back on.

 

I have attached pictures of, the head unit I have, the connectors at the back of the head unit, and the original harness. And a screenshot of the unit I purchased.

 

Anyone know what I am doing wrong, or should be doing?

Thanks 

 

 

If you search there was a guy did a full retrofit guide on how to install the camera.

These aftermarket cameras are nothing but rubbish generally, people fit them and they either  give up not long after, or they dont work from the get-go.

 

Pay the extra and get a genuine reverse camera fitted, more work involved yes, but the pay off is worth it.

Hi skoda superb 3 estate has a problem related to reversing camera my family, another car in question has worked, but surprisingly started doing so attached photo.  Can anyone say what could be the reason, no fault codes are not on the camera. Or anythinks in car 

Fresh to the Skoda family with a 2020 Sportsline Plus hatch and due to the fact I'm **** at reversing I could do with a reversing camera  

Does anybody know where I can get a OEM camera fitted in the North Hertfordshire area ? 

 

I was going to do it myself but my model has the power tailgate and all the "kits" I could find looked like non-switch handles 😞 

Search for Aperture S on here - he did my estate with an OE camera and relevant fittings - fantastic job. He's in Potters Bar so not too far - I traveled up from Kent to get mine done and don't regret making the journey. 

I've decided I would like to fit a reversing camera with a washer to my 2018 Mk3 Superb hatch.

What should I order to get all the parts necessary to fit this? Are there any "gotchas" I need to be aware of?

Can I code it using Car Scanner ELM?

Is SashaGrace still around?

Thanks, David

Have a look on AliExpress. The mib plug and play reversing camera work well and don’t need coding. There’s an option for one with a washer but I don’t think that will be the right dimensions for the handle. I’ve fitted the correct one for superb without washer and it is fine. I wipe it now and again when I open the boot and that’s sufficient.

This is the one I bought.

there are some good fitting videos on YouTube. only gotcha is the difficulty of routing the wires through the boot door and rubber grommet. I damaged a wire for the interior lights and had to rewire them too.

Also there is a cable tie that holds cables behind the radio unit you have to snip to be able to remove the radio unit.

Mine from the above has just cleared customs, should arrive tomorrow I am hoping and then can get this installed.

The true Skoda retrofit is very involved with Skoda quoting £500 then fitting also looking at nearly £1000 be the time it would be done.
