I believe the sweet smell is ethylene glycol: i.e. "antifreeze" or coolant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol I believe it is toxic, so get this fixed urgently I have heard that it can also show up as a coating on the inside of the screen from the heating vents. Sounds for sure...

Just to wrap this up, I returned this kit & received a refund. The fact of incorrect connection details supplied with the item, a used part delivered (being sold as a new OEM VW item), and overall lack of clarity left me with no faith in the items supplied. This I did not know if I was chasing a...

Still no joy, getting a bit baffled at this stage I had another look at this and revised the connection to the blue connector, pins 6&12 (thanks for that correction). I will post a photo later. I was certain I had found my error: as well as the incorrect instructions that shipped with the camera...

So correct me if I am wrong but are the transparent and black cable, that are added to pin 6 and 12 respectively, suppose to go to the blue connector and not the green one? Huge thanks. I have been busy so did not get back to this. I will revisit tomorrow. I checked the "instructions" fro...

Great thanks for going to the bother of doing this. Will try & confirm. Hi there my coding for the 8K OPS and RVC for polo 2017 is: Address 10: Park/Steer Assist (J446) Labels:| 5Q0-919-294.clb Part No SW: 5Q0 919 294 K HW: 5Q0 919 294 A Component: PARKHILFE 8K H03 0054 Revision: -------- Serial...

Hello In a separate thread I detail the problem I have with getting an upgrade RVC camera to operate in Polo 6c with Deos anyone here with VCDS have a Polo 6C with Front & Rear Parking sensors/ Navigation, but more particilarly with Rear Vew Camers (LOW) This is the camera with fixed guide lines...

OK, I finally got to revisit this Rear View Camera installation this morning. removed the glovebox, slid out the "brains" located pins 6 & 12 on the green connector, etc. All good. Made temporary connections for ground & power. Then I revisited the VCDS coding. Unfortunately I stil...

The brains are in the glovebox the display is just that. I'm not sure from your post but did you connect it to the brains or the screen? Ho Hum. My immediate reaction when I removed the screen was ... problem. I had expected a large infotainment module. I was certain I was on a road to nowhere, but...

Ok, thanks Dink. I went back again to Information Electronics (5f) and redid the code ( so now RVC is selected in both 5f & Park/ steer assist) And sure enough the display changes to the segmented Park Assist/ Camera view ... for a few seconds: and them "ParkAssist" Unavailable" m...

Hi All OK, so I decided to connect the camera to the head unit & code the computer before I did any bumper surgery, to see if things were working. Connections appear fairly straightforward, 2 pins to currently empty locations on the 12 pin display connector, ground, permanent positive & reve...

OK, so the kit turned up and it looks generally fine...a bag with a cable kit which looks new and a bag with camera assembly and matching connectors. However the camera assembly is clearly secondhand. I will post a picture, but the road muck in the crevices of the mounting assembly is clearly visibl...

OK, well I have ordered the parts from VAGTEC. £227 incl shipping to Dublin. I will post back here when the job is done ( or otherwise :-0 ) EDIT. A bit of web searching suggests that VAG TEC are far from a reliable business partner. It will be interesting to see what turns up :shock: Watch this spa...

I'd think that if you are okay with fitting cabling and maybe removing/fitting pins in connectors as well as being able to use VCDS, I'd think that you could do this upgrade very easily. Not sure why the youtuber had not worked out how to increase the size of the VCDS screens on their laptop though...
