A1 paper? the finished size 700x1900.

I have yet to try my creation, trying to figure best way to align it all, I have laser things for diy and may use them

A1 is 841 long by 594 wide so would use less sheets
You might be able to print it at a local Staples print shop where they have A0 width printers and can feed from a roll so that it could all be printed in one continuous print

Cheers for that top tip, would be easier then joining 32 pages

We got a large format printer going on next week.

As a training exorcise I can print a couple out and post it to you or anyone?

I wouldn't mind a full size one if thats possible scott - Im hoping to be down at the totally VAG show a week next Sunday in Cornwall so if its done by then I could grab it off you?

If it's done I'll try and do a few.
See what happens.

Hey thought I'd share some pictures of my install.

Got the wiring harness from Kufatec. As I have the MMI 3G System and factory fitted TV system, the green Fakra cable needs to be wired into the 5F Information Electronics in block B - Multi-pin connector, 12-pin, blue (T12y), Pins 5 - FBAS wire (–) from reversing camera system control unit -J772- and 11 - FBAS wire (+) from reversing camera system control unit -J772-. Unfortunately I didn't get to take pictures of this process as I was in a rush to finish it asap!









Boot Lid Stripped


Lock Cylinder.. Notice the black bowden cable which needs to be disconnected 1st


Lock Cylinder from another angle. Notice that it is covered with a black cover which comes off when screwing off the Torx 30 bolts.





Boot Side trim stripped and preparing the wirings etc





Best place to guide the Green FBAS wire all the way to the front of the car







Grounding point



Because I wanted to route the wiring properly, I had to take out the media rack. And in the process I scratched the paint off..oops! To avoid this place a cloth there. I plan to put a sheet of sound deadner there to cover up this little booboo



Seeing as the Navigation rack is not being used, I chose that as the best mounting place for the RVC Control Unit. Applied some heavy duty double sided tape and stuck it there.



Tidying up wiring



I forgot to take some pictures of tapping into the CAN wires. I did so by undoing the connector from the PDC module and piggy backed directly from the connectors there, then secured the wiring with some electrical tape and zip wire. Works a treat as I wasn't overly keen on cutting and soldering etc.

Then I proceeded to coding the CAN gateway and PDC modules with VCDS.

Testing time..and it works. However the quality of the picture is a tad bit disappointing as it looks a bit grainy. I expected the sensor to be sharp even in low lighting conditions. Is the camera CMOS or CCD Based?

Good job! The sound deadening on your later model is different than on my 2006.
Yours is in thick vertical strips, but mine is much thinner and in smaller and a finer texture in squares and a horizontal strip.

What numbers you use when camera calibration? Channel 4 and 5...
What is the height of the camera you set when encoding 6C?

Could you share with us your distances, and values you set?

I coded address: 6C: 1020403 but still not done the calibration process.

As a result, I would like to see a piece of my rear bumper.

Hi i am still unable to do the calibration. I will get my local Audi dealer to do it eventually... and your coding is correct...
