2019 Amarok Reverse camera

Post by Tman21 »

Hi Guys, when I "ordered" my Trok they couldnt find me one with a reverse camera.

Now fitting aftermarket the radio needs to be unlocked with special software. The installer has sourced someone thats charging 1650 physically to open my infotainment system so to speak to allow the Reverse camera to work.

Alternatively if someone can quote me on a reverse camera FITTED, to work as OEM unit that could also help.

Im in The West or Randburg.

Cheers

Sjo, cant believe this is such a mission. But it seems like the 1650 is reasonable as prices vary from 1200-2300 just for coding and 6500-12500 fitted. . .

That's why I was asking about which radio. Certainly in the older generation radios, it was a simple VCDS tick...

Im sure Jabsport can as he just did a new Polo AW and it worked flawless, and it had the factory parking sensors.
