Reversing camera retro fit possible?

Apologies if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find anything useful in the Search.

So, can the reversing camera be retro-fitted to the C7? I didn't go for it and would quite like it after all. RS6 is wider than my RS5 and not as easy to see when reversing into my open barn garage with a central pillar.

A couple of websites seem to provide the kit + installation but has anyone got any experience of doing this, or can Audi dealers do a retro-fit?

Thanks

This has been discussed on the A6 C7 section of www.vwaudiforum.co.uk. You might get everything you need there.

I'm in the same position, I did look on that link but it's not a very clear website!

Yes it can as I had it done on mine but for OEM it is not cheap.
Have chat with the guys from Richtersport.co.uk.

Scandalous that a car at this price point hasn't got it as standard.


However who ever also never chose it's an option from new is daft....a Deffo for a car this size... :audibash:

Yes you would of thought so but there are plenty out there without the camera ...... a lot on the audi dealer site.

Perfect, I will get in touch with them. Looks like £1,095 full retro fit for a 2016 car.

giles,
If you do go ahead with the camera do make sure you tell Audi when it goes for a service or any other work it has an aftermarket fitment.Mine went in for a oil service which they did with a software update which wiped the camera code (?)this meant a trip back to Richter for them to reset the code which audi paid for.( Because they did not ask about the camera or any other aftermarket fitments). :beerchug:

Not sure where you are based but I had an OEM camera installed on my C6 RS6 by Hazzy Dayz near St Albans for around £750.00 all in. Great job and exactly the same as had Audi carried out the work. They specialise in Audis and VAG in general so worth a look?
