Re: Reversing camera.

Did you go OEM or aftermarket? Would be interested in a How 2 guide if anyone has. Thank you ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^ I never bothered in the end, Too much hassle and not cost effective then? Thanks for your update anyway :-bd Just didn't feel the need to do it as I change my cars every two years, ;)

Re: VW Arteon (CC Replacement) Expected 2017

It is now on the german VW configurator.
I reckon about 6% dearer than the equivelent spec B8 Passat here.
I wonder should I go ahead and change mine in August, or should I wait for this. :)
