Which reverse camera

[Andy]

I know a few folk have retro fitted reverse camera to their Cali. I've read posts on how fit & the pit falls.
I am interested in which camera people have fitted as this is my next project. Do I go for a cheap generic one with converter box or a genuine VW one ?? Or is there a better way ?? Cheers.

One thing I would suggest is get one that you can switch on whilst driving (forward)
Soooooo much better for blind spots on Euro motorway use.

What head unit do you have?

@reserves Sorry forgot to ad that RNS510.

@sidepod I was thinking of wiring it so I can switch it on as & when.

Well yes, easy enough, it's only a 12v input common with the reverse light. Don't forget a diode otherwise you'll energise your reverse lights when you switch on the camera.
I was meaning functionality to switch on the camera from the head unit itself.
