Integrated Rear View Camera Upgrade for Volkswagen Scirocco 1K
Make reversing your Volkswagen Scirocco 1K easier, safer and more precise with this integrated rear view camera system. Because the Scirocco’s low seating position and coupe-style rear design can make the area behind the vehicle harder to judge, this upgrade displays a clear rear image on the centre screen as soon as you select reverse. As a result, you gain better visibility while maintaining a clean, factory-style appearance.
The camera mounts discreetly above the rear number plate, so it remains barely visible from outside the vehicle. At the same time, it provides a wide, full-colour view that helps you identify kerbs, low obstacles and other hazards sooner. Consequently, you can park with greater accuracy and reverse with more confidence in garages, driveways and busy car parks.
Rather than adding a separate monitor, the Volkswagen Scirocco rear camera integrates with the vehicle’s centre display. Therefore, the completed installation looks neat, practical and well suited to the original interior.
Please note: this camera system does not include reversing guidelines.
How It Works
As soon as you engage reverse gear, the system automatically switches the vehicle’s centre display to the live rear camera image. The rear handle camera then provides a full-colour view with a wide 170° viewing angle, allowing you to see more of the area behind the vehicle.
In addition, the high-quality CCD image sensor provides reliable image quality in a wide range of conditions. The 0.01 lux minimum illumination also improves visibility in darker areas such as underground car parks, garages and driveways at night.
Meanwhile, automatic white balance helps keep colours and image detail clear as lighting conditions change. Because the system activates automatically, there are no extra switches or separate controls to manage.
