Audi a3 reverse camera install

Thx Jungle. It's a rear side trim removal job to fit bracket. Took me 20minutes. I got my kit from Vagtec too and for something new it's a good price. If you want to put it to the precise fuse position please buy repair wire too from audi. My bracket took 6 weeks to arrive. Only got it last week for my saloon. Sorry for the questions, for some reason I can only view the PDF on my phone, which is not the best way to view it.

If I try to view on a MAC or Windows 10 machine it asks for password and the one mentioned in the thread does not seem to work. That's strange? I just clicked on the link and it downloaded straight away.. No need for the password any more Last edited: Apr 25, I have an editing password set and it's compatibility is set to Adobe 10 or newer I think.

Apologies if this is causing some of you issues. They are on 5m reels so you will have ample wires left. If you don't car just buying 1x 8amp wire.

I did twist the wires round each other. If you can buy 2m to be safe actually CAN bus wiring. It's common wiring for computers so eBay it. Haha mate they are not daft! It's better to be sure then unsure as you can cause more harm then good. I did HOURS of research hence made the guide so my new found knowledge was not wasted on one install haha. As long as you are comfortable with slicing wires you'll be fine. The pins are numbered and all wiring info is prior to the DIY install in the guide.

F is fuse block C fuse 18 FC There are lack of images towards the end because I was 6 hrs in and rain was forecasted and needed to get it all back together before it rained haha. Haha ask many more if it makes you feel more comfortable. Splice is a universal term I then just electrical taped round it.

As the image below I cut the sleeve with a Stanley knife carefully and then wrapped the red wire round and tapped up. It's a good enough connection my electrical engineer friend said. View attachment Haha ask many more if it makes you feel more comfortable. The less likely something will go wrong. Other bits weren't much if a ball ache. I was told them splice connectors aren't that good and my splicing method created a better more reliable connection You must log in or register to reply here.

Regards, Mike. Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando Tapatalk. JPG Think I posted up a picture before but attached the camera in question. With that camera don't you need the 5QA control module? What is the reference of that camera? Correct, and as such there is no longer an AUX in.

At the moment, as I am one of the only people in Europe who can source these, I can't release the details. ETKA currently does not have a part number listed: View attachment Will you distribute that model? I have an A3 FL and I interested in retrofit the rear cam, and I don't know if buying the "classic control module and the camera" is enough or I need to wait to buy this new.

What are the differences between them? I added the rear camera option but find it useless unless it is dry, once the spray covers the lens you can see nothing out of it.

In my GTI it was under the badge so stayed clean and dry. Maybe I could disconnect it and sell it. What you need is one of these bad boys.

I've ordered one so will let you know how I get on. You can always apply a quick wipe of Rain-X, problem solved. Muld Registered User. Well, I have to say thank you to all people in that thread. For all future readers, keep in mind that some cameras come without initial coding and no firmware inside.

The camera will be well recognized by the CAN but you won't be able to access it to code it for your car. Thanks Djalix! But even with VCP, I had to fight with many files problems when uploading the firmware Tried Windows 7, 32, 64, Windows 10, pro and home on differents computers NO WAY. I then had to contact VCP staff and they found a solution resetting my account completly.
