RNS-E Reversing Cam
Well, actually, this is largely relevant for RNS-C and RNS-D too up to a point....
A number of people have installed reversing / rear view cameras in their D2's, and usually by removing the boot lock button and putting the camera there instead. I dont like this approach for a few personal reasons: 1) it removes original Audi functionality of being able to push the button to open to boot 2) If you get a flat battery, its a sod to sort out 3) Everyone else already did it  So, I decided instead to put mine at the other side in the unused space where the boot lock doesnt go on the nearside. I would have put it in the bumper if it wernt for the simple reason that I'm sure it will get covered in cack faster than I can say 'british weather' and then I wont be able to see a dam thing.... So, heres the camera. A £12 fleabay special from some country that speak poor english, but nontheless they knew how to post it to me and for that I'm grateful. It has 2 connections, one for power (+12) and one for composite video. So no rocket science there then.... It comes with a variety of washers, some of which are angled so instead of poining it square out which is of limited use for parking, it can be angled down with ease.... Sadly, this one didnt come with a drill bit, so I had to buy one. I note now thought that quite a few on Ebay come with them...  Anyway, with drill bit one will drill so though the front layer of plastic we go after carefullyish measuring sortof where the middleish may be... Then we need to break out a reciprical hole at the back for the camera to point out of.... .... and the screw it in place... sorry bout the photo, turns out its the best one I have of this point in time, and its next to useless...  and pop it in the bootlid, 4 screws hold the light lens in, so quick and easy job... Not so easy is feeding the wires down the boot lid and through the arms safely and neatly. In fact, its positively tedious. So much so, I have even poorer photography of that stage.... er, nothing. But its worth it when you've done.... Upto now, this is all standard stuff for the RNS-C, D & E.... But, with the RNS-E, it gets far more interesting....
