Scirocco Central

Afternoon all, I have some birthday money burning a hole and am thinking of buying an in-car / dash / windscreen mount camera. I have done some research and a key differentiator is some are purely a camera (with memory card) and some also have a small screen.

I have the RNS 510 fitted and know it's possible to get video-in displayed from stuff like a TV tuner or reversing camera. So putting the two ideas together, has anyone heard of integrating an in car camera with the VW sat nav unit?

I get the lack of responses suggests that this might not be as straight forward as I had thought.

Could anyone recommend an in-car camera that can be discreetly mounted to the windscreen as I've seen some that are hideous

this is what you need

So what does that offer over the MDI and standard input connectors?

Have you read it?

I have but the only camera related bit I could see was for a reversing camera, however I would have thought there is a VW solution without a Kufatek interface.

Happy for you to point out the blindingly obvious bit I'm missing . .

Why would you want to display what is happening in front of the car on the screen in the dash? Just look through the windscreen.

it has a RGB output, so any scart device will work with it

The idea is to buy an in-car camera that is discrete, however there is a trend towards cameras with LCD screens (just look at Halfords). So the number 1 requirement is to be able to record footage from a camera (hence reversing cameras are not suitable). Number 2 is the ability to view it in-car, for example making sure the camera is pointed in the right direction but this is not necessary. This was the idea behind reusing the existing screen and existing video-in connectors.
