Parts for highline rear camera retrofit

- Start date
Got wiring kit from AliExpress: http://ali4cars.com/s/?p=vw-mqb-rvc-high-wiring
Took me about 6 hours and 5 mistakes but finally wired it to the car.
If I had to do this again, I believe it would be 3 hours max, now that I know exactly how to do this.
Video below is not a complete tutorial, since I don't have 3rd hand hold the camera at all times. But still I hope someone will find it helpful while performing the retrofit.

Hi guys,
I recently installed this camera into a MK7 Golf:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_ms3W1xe
I got it wired up fine but my issue is that the image on the stereo is the opposite. So, if I'm reversing and there is a car to the left of my car it shows as being on the right hand side on the stereo screen.
Has anyone else seen this before and how can I change it?
The parking sensors are the same, got the kit from the same seller..

I can't see anything obvious in VCDS
Cheers,
Mac

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply.
The seller in China said the setting in control module 10 needed to be set to have the car set to RHD and that would sort it.
I don't see any option in VCDS for setting the car to RHD. I got back to him stating this and he said to use ODIS instead.
I don't have access to ODIS so will need to check if anyone knows anyone who does.
Does anyone know if ODIS allows extra settings to be set over VCDS?
Or does anyone know if that option can be found or set somehow in VCDS or if anyone already has it listed on theirs?
Cheers,
Mac
@mcquaim: Mac-Hi.
hmm..... interesting!! I've not seen the effect, but I have noticed words on some AliExpress stuff like this:

Up until your post, I've not understood what this means. Maybe this is the issue - just a guess! If so, it's clearly a camera manufacturer thing rather than being something that is controlled by an OEM module (like the hex10 module). But I suspect this is not the problem - read below
As for setting RHD and given that your car would have been sold in Ireland/UK before the retrofit - I would have thought that it would already be configured for the steering wheel to be on the right-side (being the "correct-side", like here in Australia).
Because you say that both the distance sensors and the camera are the wrong-way-round -perhaps the original coding on the car has been altered (no offense intended). Maybe confirm that the MIB still has the correct RHD setting (again, no offense intended).
I suggest that you check the software switch @ Byte 19, Bit 1 (see below) on the hex5F module - is it set?

PS: @mr-fix - great videos - I never tire of viewing your videos, always very instructive and as I have already said - I absolutely adore that accent (I don't have an accent
)!!
I don't know how you make the videos - holding the camera with one-hand while deftly manipulating car components with the other hand! Keep-up the good work!!

Thanks for the detailed reply, very helpful
Well, I have changed the stereo from MIB1 to MIB2, changed the USB socket, added the camera and sensors so at this stage any settings might be currently set.
When I added the parking sensors I had to include the modules 10 & 6C in the CAN installation list. I presume the module 10 is the parking sensors module I had to install?
I will plug into the car later today and check what is set above and post back here.
Thanks again,
Mac
Why would this make any difference? Doesn't matter if the car is RHD or LHD. Camera image needs to mirrored in both cases.
Hi there,
I was thinking that myself but that is what he told me
The fact the camera and the sensors both have the same issue makes me think it is a configuration setting...I suppose all I can do is try and report back either way
Cheers,
Mac
Whaaaat?Hi guys,
I got it sorted
The car model on byte 0 of 5F was wrong, changed it to 5G and all was fine
Whatever car the MIB2 came out of must have been a LHD mode.
Cheers,
Mac
Please share your previous and current coding. I need to try this!
hmm..... indeed, it does sound "interesting"!
I suspect that it's not actually "byte 0 on 5F" - more likely, I believe that OP has an older style HEX + CAN diagnostic cable which shows this:
But yes, the previous value for these 4 x bytes would be informative

Hello. I need a help: I bought the high camera with de same partnumber that your. But is doesn’t work very well. When I put the car inverse, the display of my infotainment stay grey and freeze all. My car is a golf GTI mk7.5 2018. It have already low camera. So I used whole wires that original car. Except for the network gateway that it’s not included in low camera.

My friend I watched some your videos in YouTube and you have installed the high camera in you car, right?
So if possible you could help me?
My e-mail is: ricardosoa@gmail.com.
I’ll pay for your services.
wiring needs to be changes.
LOW vs HIGH camera have more differences than just the CAN-BUS connection.
You need to disconnect reverse bulb signal from the camera/mechanism. This signal will be detected via CAN-BUS now. Camera will control the mechanism.
