This is my experience with T6 upgrade from lowline to highline.Thanks Robert, I have a HEX-NET with VCDS so if you could point to any adaptations I could try that would be much appreciated.
I was wondering what would be involved in upgrading from factory lowline to highline camera...if anyone's done it?
If I can find an easy way to access the camera loom, ideally without pulling apart the dash, or the tailgate (as it's Cali with the built in shutter & chair rack etc), then I'll measure the signal voltage to ensure I don't fry it before testing bridging it to 12v.
Everything can be set up by coding there, I have a camera working when I press the parking sensors key in any mode up to a speed of 15 km/h.So the good news is I located the white 17-pin connector [T17q] under the RHD driver seat, containing the (green/black) reverse signal wire [39] as well as camera power and ground wires.
I tested the reverse signal wire is 12V when in reverse gear and 0V in any other gear.
Disconnecting just this signal pin at this connector when in reverse gear causes the display to just show a blue screen instead of the camera feed, however the reverse lights remain on showing the wire is independent of them (as they are joined further upstream).
The bad news is that powering the signal wire with 12V directly restores the camera feed in reverse gear however does not enable the greyed out camera toggle button when not in reverse.
The camera appears powered who whole time the ignition is on so the enabling / disabling of the camera when in gear must be 100% controlled by the display firmware or adaptation?
Can you share your coding?Everything can be set up by coding there, I have a camera working when I press the parking sensors key in any mode up to a speed of 15 km/h.

Cool, cheers man! Everydays a school day!Low line = static guidelines
Officially there is no highline camera for T6 (although it can be retrofitted/hacked from other models)
This sounds very interesting, i would like this function; is this fully working/verified on the T6.1?Everything can be set up by coding there, I have a camera working when I press the parking sensors key in any mode up to a speed of 15 km/h.
