Hi,

I am fitting a reversing cam to my vehicle listed above Max, and I need to attach a wire to the reversing light on the rear. I have managed to run the cable to the nearside light cluster but need to know what color cable goes to the reversing light so I can attach the cam to it. I am using a wireless reversing cam.

Cheers, Ady

Hi,

This model isn't offered in the US, but if you remove the light assembly, you should be able to identify the wire going to the reverse light.

I tried to find something similar here, but they don't offer anything. Also, VW likes to use different color wires for each side.

Let me know if/when you remove the reverse light if you can identify the wire.

Take care,

Joe
