Scirocco R Modifications - RVC Info

[Andych]

So, I have been searching around for potential mods for my Rocco R when it arrives early next year and one of the things I wanted was a Reversing Camera tied into the RNS510 similar to Golf, Tig etc.

The following link provides all the info to be able to add the camera.. the kit is available from Kufatec Germany for 389 Euro plus 85 Euro DHL shipping to Australia.

That price includes 19% VAT but I am not sure if that is applicable to orders for outside of the EU.

I was following the thread you provided and it says that 2011 Rocs have RVC option.

I hope so as I told my dealer I wanted RVC with my RNS

Unfortunately you will be disappointed.. it is only an option in certain markets and on certain models and the R we are getting does not have it as an option... Even the UK don't get RVC as an option on Scirocco which is why this kit is reasonably popular.

It will be somewhere around the A$600 mark landed I think. I am waiting on a reply from Kufatec regarding the VAT.

[Andych]

I have had a reply from Kufatec which says their checkout system automatically corrects the pricing so there is no 19% VAT on the final price. This would put the total price including shipping at approx 412 Euro which currently is A$542.00.

I believe the R comes with OPC. Will this work with RVC and will our RNS have video in ports back of the RNS unit?

Just thinking out loud atm

I believe the answers are Yes, Yes and Yes... Exactly the same as Golf models with Optical Parking Sensors and RVC.

LED rear lights? Like the Golf R? What about that cheeky ECU software upgrade.
Probably the only two I'd consider

Unfortunately there are no Factory alternatives for LED rear lights for the Scirocco (like Golf R) but there are after market ones from Europe I believe... I will try and find some info.
As for Tunes.. there will be the normal choices I guess... It will be interesting to see how long it takes for a tune to be available for the general public.

I am also looking at having my roof wrapped in gloss black to match the sunroof.. and then there are all the Carbon fibre parts available from OSIR...

Hi AP..
That is good to know.
I had a good look at 10D's thread to see if he had one but couldn't see any info.
Does your "R" have RNS or Standard head unit?

Has the transformation started on that pretty little Rocco?

For those that are interested a kit can also be obtained from the UK.
With Colour Coded housing and Insured freight to Australia the total is 395 Pounds (A$615 at current rates).

Is the rocco ECU going to have the same problems for software upgrades as the current crop of VWs? E.g. ECU has to be taken out and cracked open for a remap?

Is that across the board?? I don't think it is necessarily the case with Golf R... and there is at least one Scirocco R in the Country through Scuderia Imports that has an HPA tune..
Besides, are they really "cracked open" or is it that they can't be tuned through the ODB II port and need to be removed from the vehicle and done on the "bench".

I don't see that they will be any different to those that are currently being sold elsewhere in the world and they don't seem to have any issues tuning them... companies like REVO GIAC APR HPA etc all have plenty of supporters in the Scirocco Community.

[Pullstarter]

I know the mid 2011 and onwards Tiguan 2.0 TSI has the so called "chastity belt" and has to be physically cracked open, hopefully the rocco won't be the same.

[RW1]

The Scirocco R engine is older technology than the rest of the Scirocco range, so I doubt it will the type of ECU needed to be removed from the car and opened up to modify the map.

Andych, did you end up getting the CF mirror covers?

[Andych]

No, I figured I would wait until my car is delivered and then make up my mind on what exactly I want to do...
the thing that put me off slightly is that these are actual replacement covers but without the little clips that hold the originals in place.
Carbon fibre doesn't have the "spring" required for these clips, so they are held in place with DS tape or Sikaflex.

As I am going to have the roof wrapped gloss black I think I will leave the mirrors gloss black as well... for now.

Was thinking of getting some brushed aluminium mirror covers, though that might be too Audi S/RS like.

[Andych]

I am not sure... I will wait until I get the car and then talk to a couple of people who do wrapping and see what they think.
If it was the Trophy Spoiler I think I would wrap it... but I am just not sure with the standard one.

[Andych]

OK.. I had a good look at the Spoiler at the Dealer today and I am pretty sure I will continue the wrap over the spoiler.. lining up with the ridges that align with the roof line.

I have a price of $200 to wrap the roof and I guess it will be a bit more to include the spoiler... Looking good to get this done ASAP I think.

Why would you even bother to ask that question? It seems that the rear vision on your GTI is bad enough to require a Camera... the Roc is substantially more rear vision challenged than GTI.....

Apart from that... who said there needed to be an issue with rear vision to install an RVC?

[Bain]

I'll be installing one just for the wow factor. I doubt I'll ever look at it except for when parking in a very tight space.

RVC on the camera on the GTI is a bit of a waste. Yes I ticked the box, rarely use it.

It's the first option I'd tick again on my GTI, and consider it indispensable. Each to their own on these things - especially when safety's involved.

I agree...especially on the Scirocco... they come standard with rear parking sensors and I wish there were front ones as well.
I am so used to using the sensors and I just know I will become quickly adapted to the RVC... the thing is.. you don't realise how accustomed to something you become until you don't have it... like in a Hire Car.

So true. Every time I drive my mum's Mk5 and reverse, I instinctively look down at the head unit and wonder why the image isn't displaying... :facepalm:

Seriously though, while the benefits of an RVC have been done to death in the Mk6 forum, it's worth reiterating that it's an awesome bit of kit for the money. All it takes is to avoid one ding (or more importantly, a child / animal / other irreplaceable thing), and it's paid for itself many times over.

Not to mention that it always raises an Ooh! Ahh! from passengers. ;)

I had a package arrive today... my RVC turned up 5 days after I ordered and paid for it... I have no idea when I am going to get to install it but at least I have it... I will use the time to Colour code the bracket... which is marked as a Bentley item...

Interested in knowing how this goes. As others above, I think the RVC option is one of the best, and I will miss having it.

My only gripe with this is the camera just sits there, and doesn't look like it has much protection. Won't it get dirty easily? Easy for some goof to do something to it as well.

It sits above the license plate under the ledge so pretty inconspicuous, though agree it will probably need regular cleaning. I will follow the install with interest as I'm sure Marti would like it for her CW we are picking up for her on Thursday.

[Andych]

Well I am about two thirds of the way through installing the RVC and the Active Sub.
The Camera holder is painted and the RVC cable has been run from the boot to the Radio. That part was reasonably straight forward once I had figured out where I wanted to run the cable.

The hardest thing so far has been finding a way to run the power cable from the Battery to the Active Sub... this is not for the faint hearted...lol.
Tomorrow I hook up the Power, Earth and Reverse sense to the RVC, remove the rear bumper, cut the hole for the camera, connect up the cables... then tackle the rest of the Sub install.
Some pics of my poor little Roc pulled apart...

Sub Installation
After a lot of head scratching and feeding of wires through the car I now have my Focal Active Sub installed and operating.
While it is never going to be doof-doof machine (nor would I want it to be) the sub makes a definite improvement in the sound quality.
I have trimmed back the bass on the RNS510 to about 1/3rd with Mid just over 1/2 and treble at about 3/4.

You cant tell there is a Sub with the stereo at low (normal) level but when you crank it up the bass comes through pretty well... depending on the music it is more a feel than a sound.
You really can't go too much past 1/2 volume as the standard speakers start to lose the plot a little once you get into the higher volume... I might have to look for some Focal splits now....:facepalm:

Anyway... the install is fairly straight forward...with the hardest part being routing the power cable from the engine bay into the cabin...
In fact routing the cables was far and away the most difficult part of the whole install. You need to pull a fair amount of interior trim away to get enough space to use a long "pull-through" to thread through and eventually run the cables from front to rear.

The connection at the Battery is simple enough... although be careful.. the bolt they use on the battery terminal is peened over on the end so the nut doesn't come off..well it does come off but will never go back on again.... make sure you have a suitable bolt and nut.

http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z346/andrewchoake/Scirocco%20R/RVC%20Instll/P1000273.jpg

The power cable is run through into the area under the wiper cowl and from there through a spare grommet in the firewall.

http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z346/andrewchoake/Scirocco%20R/RVC%20Instll/P1000258-1.jpg

From there the task is getting the cable behind the dash and to drivers side footwell where it runs along the sill and into the rear quater panel and through to the boot.

The high level connection for getting the signal through to the amp was made at the back of the Stereo

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/

I found the Pin-outs on Volkswagen RNS 510 pin assignments | my-gti.com (http://www.my-gti.com/529/volkswagen-rns-510-pin-assignments)

This cable along with the remote switching cable are also run along the sill and through into the boot.

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/

I connected the remote switching cable to a switched power source from the fuse box situated on the drivers side...

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/

I was going to mount the sub on the side panel in the boot but it would have detracted from an already small boot area so I decided that it was going into the spare wheel well.
I cut the foam holding the compressor etc with a hacksaw and cut some timber to shape... I used 2 pieces as there is a rib running through the middle of the boot floor...these were covered in black carpet... (should have used dark grey to match) and sikaflexed to the floor. Why Sikaflex? No screws needed and if I want to take it out... it is easy enough to do but it will not move under normal circumstances...

http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z346/andrewchoake/Scirocco%20R/RVC%20Instll/P1000266.jpg

The Sub is attached to the carpet with 4 long pieces of heavy duty Velcro and is hard to remove... but again... no screws required.

Then it was just a matter of tidying up the wiring, testing and putting everything back together....

http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z346/andrewchoake/Scirocco%20R/RVC%20Instll/P1000265.jpg

I have not really fiddled too much with the settings on the amp just yet...I can maybe get it sounding a little better with some adjustment of the frequency and or phasing but at this stage I am happy that it has achieved the goal of filling out the bottom end nicely.

[Bain]

Nice write-up! Ive noticed the current speakers in the car are sub par as well.

Now to figure out what to use as replacements :)

[Andych]

I finished off the RVC install today... removing the rear bumper, cutting a hole in it :eek3hope2: slotting the camera in and then putting it all back together again...

Our cars do NOT have the template on the inside of the bumper so you need to work it all out so it is in the middle of the number plate lights.

I am yet to change the coding to enable the camera... that may get done this week... sometime...
In the interim there are a few pics to show the process...and the final result.

It certainly isn't a job for the faint hearted and I would estimate it to be approximately 8 hours work so you would want to be friendly with your installer to make sure it doesn't cost an arm and a leg...

I will get around to modifying the Golf How to with the appropriate Scirocco parts... so that anyone wanting to give it a shot has enough info.

Andy, does the yellow guide lines curve with the movement of the steering wheel?

[Andych]

Andy, does the yellow guide lines curve with the movement of the steering wheel?
No, and I am pretty sure it doesnt on the Golf either. There is no connection with the steering at all as this goes straight from the camera into the back of the RNS510, the ones with the movable lines go through a control module... not on Golf, Scirocco EOS etc.
It isnt a big deal though, I found it invaluable yesterday when trying to reverse out of a reasonably busy parking area with an SUV either side... it meant I got a reasonable view of when it was clear to move rather than just taking my chances...

[brimway]

Andy, does the yellow guide lines curve with the movement of the steering wheel?

I recently hired an Audi that was fitted with RVC with the curved lines and found it a little confusing to use. Maybe something you get used to.

AFAIK Golfs, Scirocco etc only have straight lines.

[AdamD]

AFAIK Golfs, Scirocco etc only have straight lines.

Correct. The Golf RVC doesn't have the steering angle interface required to get the lines to move. I've only seen it fitted to a Passat in Australia.

[Beer Baron]

I've been considering adding a RVC to the scirocco R and before starting a new thread (like most noobs) I did a little search and found this thread.

I'm quite used to RVC's having had one in my lexus for oh... 10 years now, plus the R35 had one and infact most cars with a decent size screen display have one or an option for one.

this thread has a great write up by Andy but I can't help but wonder if there's an easier way than cutting holes in the bumper?

I've seen for sale some camera's that replace the number plate light. has anyone used one on a rocco and if so could you let me know how it worked?

also a question about ebay cams. you can buy the genuine VW cam for about $200 on ebay but there are cheap copies for $20 or so. anyone used a cheapie? how do you go about getting it to work with the RNS510?

this is something I want to do but ideally would like the one that just bolts on in place of one of the numberplate lights and cheaper the better! (providing it's still good quality image).

thanks for any help/advice. :)

[JohnA]

the problem with those cheap ebay ones is they use an RCA video plug, and your RNS 510 wont accept that for video.
there is an adapter you can get, but not sure on cost.

For me, i just purchased the origianl VW camera and figure will do the work

I just sprayed the housing to match the car colour and now to just get it installed.

Does the stock car have front and rear parking sensors?

funnily enough despite all the VW literature I saw that said it has front and rear parking sensors it most definitely only has rear. and to be honest I've found them pretty poor. they are very slow to react. particularly on the OPS. on second the bar will be miles away from the car then all of a sudden AFTER you've stopped moving it suddenly is right against your bumper and beeping madly. it's hard to get a good read on it. the others i've used always worked well even with just the audible warning. I could park our other cars with sensors to within about 15mm confidently. the slow acting sensors is part of the reason I'd like to put in the RVC. if the sensors worked as well as others I would probably just leave it as is.

Bought as a DIY but hurt my knee and it's put paid any plans to play around for a while.

I've posted it in the parts for sale

For anyone who has had this fitted, what sort of price are places charging? I used to install car stereos for a living so running everything wont be difficult, but I'm not sure I could be bothered these days :)

Eventually, I get a chance to send the car to install the RVC bought end of Feb! All the installation completed today by Arthur at Exoticars, and changed VCDS coding, ticked the settings under Radio and Park Assist to enable back up low line camera, but the screen still shows only the park assist sensor screen, seems like it did not detect any camera being installed even the options are set, unit hard rebooted. Any idea? Perhaps the 26 pins connector is loose? Thanks!

No more drama now. We left the car sit there for few hours and reset the head unit again and it worked! Great mods!

Sorry, forgot to upload few shots of what the final outcome is!
