I bought a waterproof BlackVue IR unit for my 2ch dash camera. I use an old iPhone mounted where the mirror would have been ( solid rear door and solid bulkhead so no rear view other than door mirrors) and use it as rear view mirror which is on all the time. No drill holes in the body, I fed the wire through a slot I made in the inexpensive LED number plate light housing and sealed it with butyl cord. Just need to wipe it now and again in heavy rain if the rain-x wears off.
It is fixed to the tailgate with high temperature VHB tape so hot summer days make sure to adhesive doesn’t let go. Works a treat I also have the benefit of monitoring the van remotely via the cloud.
Parking set up works for 12 hours off the BlackVue 124x which is kept charged by the factory second battery under the seat so long monitoring time possible and no danger of flattening the starter battery. So if the second battery goes flat, I still have 12 hours protection from the 124x.

I bought my OEM retrofit kit from EUcarsystems (link below). Service was great and it is installed and working as it should with the VW head unit. There are several different options available so be sure to select the right one (barn door/tailgate/LWB/SWB etc). I saw a few negative reviews of VAGTEC so i avoided them.

I had mine done by Professional Retrofits in Nuneaton. UK Mobile Installation Services Bit of a trek for me (250 miles) round trip but well worth it.
Bloody hell.. I just reread what I wrote, I’m surprised anyone could even make sense of it .
Anyways thanks guys I’ve messaged absolut5, Nuneaton is a 260 mile round trip for me which is way too far. If I could just get the kit I can get someone local to install it, then I guess it’ll just need coding in?
