Rear flip camera

Post by Andy1273 »

I'm looking into getting a rear boot emblem flip camera fitted and just wondering if one can be for my model. I have a 2014 1.2 tsi sel 3 door petrol. I believe it's a 6c although info on vehicle says it's a 6r ( I'm still confused over which it is?)
The head unit is a factory fitted model but unsure which one, or to at least find out which model it is a and whether it will be compatible with a flip rear camera?
If every thing is fine and one can be fitted where is best to get it fitted professionally. Do VW fit them ?

Any info, help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Before we can give you any useful information, it would be good to be a bit more certain what model we're talking about and what headunit is fitted...

How do I find out which head unit is fitted?
Model as in 6c or 6r. It's a 64 plate , labels on the vehicle say 6r but I've read most do because it's a standard chassis.

Yes a composition media will take a badge RVC, like from Golf 7, but you'll need an adapter.

Excellent news thanks for the help.
So what's the best way to get one fitted, vw dealer or an independent garage?
And what does this entail VAS / VCDS Coding after installation required?
