Review on High-Quality Waterproof Rear View Backup Camera for VW Golf 5/6, Gti, Polo, Passat, Lamando, Phaeton, and more (RGB RCD510 Compatible) by Leo Torres

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The guide lines are MUCH narrow!

Good - Excellent fit and finish. The device itself installs and feels like an OEM. The image quality of the camera is very good (cinch version for RCD-330 head unit). The Bad - The guide lines are so narrow that they face the inside of the tire! That's about 2 feet less when you factor in the width of the mirrors. And that on a small Golf 2012! They are useless, not to mention dangerous. If only there was a way to customize it, this camera would get 5 stars. I contacted the manufacturer (Navinio) regarding this and they told me "sorry the lines can't be adjusted but if you want to remove them just cut them off" white wire. That actually contradicts reality. Camera out of the box, has a white wire loop (no guides). If you cut the loop, you will end up with inaccurate stitches. That's probably why it wasn't mentioned in the installation instructions. I had to reconnect the loop of wire (no guide lines) as it was just an accident that had to happen. Now I have a camera that I bought specifically because it had rails, but after 2.5 hours of installation they turned out to be useless. I know I can't be the only one.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Poorly designed
