Rear Camera on Orginal Screen

[shiltsy]

Hi,

My wife and I are new to this site after purchasing a 2019 LWB crafter to convert into a camper. My question is around how I can get a rear camera that links to the genuine dash screen?

What is needed to achieve this?

If I were to go all genuine, is it as simple as the lead and rear camera/brake light.

Some guidance would be very much appreciated.

I know you posted this a while ago but thought you might appreciate an answer!

You can buy the factory rear camera as a retrofit kit from VW, it is not cheap at about £500. To fit it, you just unbolt the original high level brake light and replace it with the new unit then run the wiring loom along with the factory one along the passenger side of the van bolting the earth connections onto the factory earth point at the top left of the van near the barn door. It then needs pinning into the back of the stereo head unit and into the fuse box followed by coding into the van to tell it that it now has a camera.

Hope that helps!
