Re: Rear Badge Camera Retrofit for B8 Saloon

Yes, for sure.

It's just the park button not working. I could live with it by using it in low version and have the button display the OPS only but it would be nice for it to work properly.

Re: Rear Badge Camera Retrofit for B8 Saloon

I've definitely double-checked everything I've done. I will share the VCDS autoscan with you on DM, and maybe you could take a glance when you have a moment. I might post to Ross Tech forum to see if someone has experienced something similar. What I don't understand is why the databus error is throw...

Re: Rear Badge Camera Retrofit for B8 Saloon

So I've double-checked everything, and all looks correct. I turned off the coding for the park button, and the 2nd error message has now disappeared. Only the basic settings error remains, which is linked to the calibration as mentioned by mrderv. I'm not sure why the button activation is not workin...

Re: Rear Badge Camera Retrofit for B8 Saloon

Yes, the cat was left to sleep for probably 1 hour. Came back, everything seemed to work fine apart from those two errors and the button. So, I did another scan and double-checked. I've noticed today whilst driving and parking that the camera pops out on reversing, but no screen image only beeps. Ot...

Re: Rear Badge Camera Retrofit for B8 Saloon

@mrderv so the installation went fairly smoothly. Hard bit was getting the power cable to the back of the fuse box. Thanks for your help. I have a couple of issues: 1. I enabled this setting, but when I pressed the park button, only the OPS sensors can be heard, and the screen shows whatever was alr...

Re: Rear Badge Camera Retrofit for B8 Saloon

@mrderv you wouldn't happen to have the pinouts for the cabling for the back of the unit? I think the only wire I need clarification for is the red/white. Am I right to say this is 12v? Also camera side, I have a brown and purple in the loom. I am guessing this is for the boot release, but I have th...

Re: Rear Badge Camera Retrofit for B8 Saloon

@mrderv hope you can offer some further guidance on this. I ordered the camera and it has finally arrived.

Could you offer any guidance on coding it using VCDS if you used this?

If not, no worries. I thought it worth asking to make it easier.

Re: Water Leak in Boot - Saloon

So, an update on this post. It seems that the issue was related to whoever fitted the tow bar on the car. I sealed the holes and no more water in the boot. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231018/3ead111c05c9d900c161790dce234be7.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231018/0a6779ed55f94c812b975b4...

Water Leak in Boot - Saloon

Hi all, I've had an issue with water appearing into the boot. I wasn't sure where it was coming from so the first thing I did was to strip the whole boot out. I found that the rear drain hole pipe on the offside of the car was disconnected. No idea how this would have happened. (see pic) Panoramic S...

Thank you MrDerv, I will check what version of media unit I have first. Then maybe you could point me to a link that would get me the correct badge camera. Are you happy with the quality of the camera? This water leak issue got me stripping a lot off the car. Took the front wheel arch covers out and...

Rear Badge Camera Retrofit for B8 Saloon

Hi all, So yesterday, I decided to try and resolve a water leak issue in the boot. After stripping everything out including the lights, I noticed that the panoramic roof drain hole pipe was no longer pushed into the outlet. All dried and cleaned and will be tested for leaks again today. I'm wonderin...

Re: LED puddle lights in mirrors.

They are fairly easy to replace. I used the following video to get me through the process. Try not to break the bits like this chap in the video but if you do, they can be glued but not ideal.

Re: Boot Locking Issue on Manual Boot Lid

***Solved***
Further testing.
So I opened the boot again with the fob and closed it. There seems to be a delay before it fully locks. So turns out this is not a fault, I was just a little impatient.

Re: Rain sensor auto roof and window closure

I also enabled it a couple of years ago using VCDS but it was unreliable and caused issues with the rain sensor working correctly with the wipers when it rained. I turned it back off and the problem went away so although it sounds like a great feature, it might be worth leaving it off.
