VW Beetle RCD-330 backup camera install

This is the process I used to install a backup camera in my wife's 2014 Beetle TDI. I purchased it from rcd330.com along with the RCD-330 head unit. This camera is the flip camera where the backup cam is hidden inside the VW logo. It's a Chinese radio and camera, so it's a bit different than the stock one in North America.
I hope this video can help some people install theirs, as I didn't find much information out there on this subject. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I'll try to help as best I can.

Your video helped me with the ground and power connections! Thank you! Had issues getting it to work previously but I found out that they gave me a faulty relay box to my AV camera. Got it swapped out and since I had the connections ready, it was easier to connect and it worked like a charm.

I'm so glad the video helped! It was so hard to find anything on installing these cameras into the Beetle that I wanted to try to put *something* up to help. Glad you were able to get it running. It's been GREAT having the camera on the Bug, as you can't see squat when trying to back up!

My wife has a 14 R-line hatchback. Thanks for this video. I was thinking of doing it with wireless transmitter to avoid having to run all the lines to the front of the car and just use a tag back up camera rather than the pop up handle camera. Can I ask where and how much the pop up handle cam cost?

I ordered all of it on rcd330.com. The camera was an additional $150 over the cost of the head unit. I paid a little extra on the head unit to be able to remotely relocate the USB port instead of having the cable sticking out of the dash. Total cost on both the camera and head unit was around $560-ish. The chinese camera uses RF instead of digital for the video signal, so I'm not sure if it's compatible with the USA head units. Good luck!

I would like to attempt the same install in my wife’s 14 convertible. Can you provide a parts list.

I ordered the head unit and camera from rcd330.com. Both together were just over $550. Everything I needed was included, other than various tools required for installation. The whole install took about a week. When I'd get to a spot I wasn't sure about, I'd sleep on it. Sorry there isn't much of a parts list, but it really was just the camera, head unit, and tools. I think the important tools are the trim removers (I got a huge set on Amazon for $20) and the wire fisher ($10 at harbor freight). The convertible will probably be somewhat easier as you don't have to go through the headliner. Good luck!
