Hi team.
I hope that all of you are fine and doing well.
Currently I am looking on installing a reverse camera in my VW Polo from 2014.
My head unit is : 6C0 035 869A .
I want to know if this display will support reverse camera function.
I will by NTSC camera's but I just need to know if my head unit support reversing camera function by connecting it with MIB2 connector.
If anybody have access to ETKA or other webpages to extract the "PR" for 6C0 035 869A , I would really really appreciate it.
Best regards!

The cheap approach is not the right one... even if it does end up working with 'weird' devices... the result will be crappy enough to make you wonder why the hell you wasted your time doing something that is not effective.
The OEM approach is always the right one. Large screen (CM) and OEM RVC camera. Efficacy and satisfaction
'almost' assured.

Hi Ciclo. Thanks for your feedback. The reason why I was after aftermarket things is that its really hard to find something OEM used in my country that are sold at a reasonable price.
For example just to get OEM decent display and OEM reverse camera, together they cost at around 700 euros and I don't think that is a reasonable price...
Anyways, I tried and find a really good quality reverse camera which is an aftermarket cheap part and I was able to set it up with my display 6C0 035 869A. It works even that this head unit doesn't have PR :"KA1" on it's information at ETKA. All I had to do was to enable reverse camera with VCDS and install a timer relay that extends the preview for some more seconds after you remove your car from reverse gear.

Congratulations! that's endearing.
Enjoy it!
Btw, for those who need it, Aliexpress also sells multifocal reading glass at very reasonable prices (1.59€).
