System requirements

Equipping a vehicle with the reversing camera system has the following technical requirements:
- reversing camera,
- reversing camera system control unit and
- display screen (e.g. radio or radio/navigation system with video output).

Overview of system components and their locations

Volkswagen’s reversing camera system was introduced with


the 2007 Touareg. The illustration opposite provides an
overview of the locations of the components that are
required for use of the reversing camera system.

The reversing camera R189 and the reversing camera system


control unit J772 together with the control unit with display
for radio and navigation J503 form the main components of
this system.

Steering angle sender

The steering angle of the steering wheel is determined via


the steering angle sender. The reversing camera system
control unit generates dynamic helper lines and integrates
them in the camera picture on the basis of this information.
They move in the same direction and in sync with the steering
wheel. If the steering angle sender is not adapted, helper
lines will not be displayed and a fault memory entry will be
stored in the control unit.

How Reversing Camera System Works

Trailer operation

When a trailer is attached and the rear lid is open no helper lines are shown on the display screen. This function is
deactivated by the reversing camera system control unit as soon as a trailer is detected by the trailer detector
control unit. The reversing camera system can be used to support manoeuvres when a trailer is attached. The
movement of the tow bar can be followed on the display screen. It is useful when you are hitching a trailer as you
can see the ball of the tow coupling on the display screen.
