Does my head unit support a reverse camera?

Hey friends,

I have VW Polo 2016 6C with the following radio head unit:
Device part number - 6C0035869D

I want to buy and install rear view camera (reverse camera) on the original head unit screen and before I’m purchasing the parts I wanted to verify:
1. How do I know whether my head unit supports rear view camera input or not?
2. Assuming my head unit model indeed support it, should buying a basic small camera alone be enough? or I need to buy some special adapters/cables as well?
3. Anything else I need to consider before buying the camera?

Big thanks!

Thanks.
Are there any cables/adapters I need to buy in addition to the camera itself?

if i'm not mistaken, you should have a blue block of 16 pins that goes into your quadlock
