Another update:

The reverse cam function does not get triggered when car is put into reverse.
The supplied can bus decoder is for an 2002 era audi TT (thats what it says on it)...

I will try and make it work with the 'non can bus' method of having 3rd +12v wire going to a trigger input on the radio itself so that the reverse light triggers the switch to camera view and not the gearbox being put into R can bus signal.

Remember the wiring to the standard RNS includes the reversing lights circuit, so it's just a matter of finding it.
I think it's labelled something like RFSL on most wiring diagrams. Brown wire IIRC.

I got the reverse cam to work, in the settings you can even select how much volume is being turned down while reversing like in 'modern' cars.
