Installation & Wiring Information
The camera replaces the original boot release handle and connects to a compatible display or infotainment system using the supplied video wiring.
The camera requires a suitable 12V DC power supply. On some Volkswagen Group vehicles, the reversing light circuit may be controlled by the vehicle electronics and may not provide a sufficiently stable supply for the camera.
Power Supply Considerations
If the camera is powered directly from an unsuitable reversing light supply, the image may flicker, become distorted or disappear.
Where necessary, a suitable relay arrangement or filtered power supply should be used to provide a stable camera voltage. Additional components required for this are not included.
Vehicle coding may also be required to activate the reversing camera function on compatible factory infotainment systems. The correct installation procedure depends on the vehicle and radio fitted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this camera replace the original boot release button?
Yes. This camera is integrated into a replacement boot release handle designed to fit selected compatible vehicles.
Will the boot release still work?
Yes. The replacement assembly incorporates a boot release function alongside the reversing camera, provided it is correctly fitted to a compatible vehicle.
Will this work with my original factory radio?
It may be compatible, depending on the radio fitted. Factory infotainment systems may require a suitable reversing camera adapter and vehicle coding. Please check your radio model before purchasing.
Does the camera include a video cable?
Yes. An approximately 6-metre video cable is included, along with associated power and trigger wiring.
Can I connect the camera directly to the reversing light?
The camera requires a stable 12V supply. Some vehicles use monitored reversing light circuits that can cause camera image interference. A relay or suitable filtered supply may be required.
Does this camera require coding?
When fitting to a factory infotainment system, coding may be required to enable the reversing camera input. Requirements depend on the vehicle and radio configuration.
Is this a genuine Volkswagen Group camera?
No. This is an aftermarket replacement camera designed around the original boot release handle fitment. The reference number is provided to help identify the compatible handle style.
How do I check if this will fit my vehicle?
Compare the dimensions, mounting arrangement and connector of your existing boot release handle with the product photographs. If you are unsure, contact AWTuning with your vehicle registration and a photograph of the original handle.
