Tiguan backup camera question
Hello all, looking at a 2012 tiguan and I needs a Tiguan backup camera.
Does a premium 8 touch screen sound system have the capability and wiring already installed for a backup camera? Please let me know as soon as you can please.
Thank you
Scott

Is there anything else I need to do? Or is it plug and play?

You do not have to do anything.

Ok. Sorry. In order to be of any value to you, we have to have some additional information, like, you had a b/u camera, but it broke. Or, your model didnt come with one, and your curious to find out if the Premium sound system (model # here) sold with the '12 Tiguan supports a b/u camera at all?
Then, identify the camera you are proposing to use with the '12 Tiguan, head unit model # combination and request specifics.
Essentially all I got from your post was "Here is some generic info, can I put literally any camera at all into my car and expect it to work? And please answer immediately"

Hi,
The vehicle in question did not come with a camera. My father-in-law is lokkingbatvyhe to purchase tiguan and wants to know if a factory camera will be able to plug in and work.
I have not pulled the head unit as we do not own the vehicle yet.
I was wondering if the vehicle with the premium 8 sound system with touch screen supported the camera.
I saw the schematic for the 2012 tiguan and it shows camera wiring to the back door, not sure if video cable would be there or not. I have no issue installing video cable as long as the premium 8 head unit accepts it. I do not want to spend 1800.00 for a new head unit at the dealer or 600.00 at the autowrecking yard for a used one.
I have the vin for the vehicle so far and that is it.
What can you find out from the vin in regards to which head uniting has?
Cheers

Well, you could check the build sheet for the VIN, but, you could just as easily Google to see if that model supports a b/u camera. Your head unit doesn't need to be removed to get the model, again, Google can assist.
Based on 20 seconds from here, the '12 Tiguan is physically able to support a b/u camera but not all were delivered with a camera, if not currently installed, it is not reasonable to expect the cable to be there.
In order to hedge your bet, I would talk to your local dealer as they would be able to give you part numbers for supported cameras.

The local dealer gave me the part numbers that would work, yet could not tell me what head unit is in the car.
I will do some digging I guess.
Thanks

Sorry, sincerely. Literally anything from my point would be guessing. But, here is how to identify which head unit it is:

Here is how you would unlock it if it isn't currently installed:

If it really is the premium 8" system I suspect you have an RNS510 but could be 850, both support backup cameras.
Best of luck

Cheers and thanks. I really appreciate this information.
I will let you know how it works if my father-in-law buys the tiguan.

According to that site, the tiguan has the rcd510. And since I have vagcom at home I will be able to adapt it.
Thanks again.
