I installed a reverse camera on my Volkswagen Tayron, and the process wasn't too complicated. The first step was selecting the right equipment—purchasing a reverse camera kit compatible with the Volkswagen Tayron online or at an auto parts store, which includes the camera, wiring, and display. Prepare tools like screwdrivers, wire cutters, and electrical tape to ensure safe operation. When removing the rear panel, start by loosening screws and clips from inside the trunk, then gently remove the components near the taillights without forcing them to avoid damaging plastic parts. The camera is mounted on the license plate frame or below the rear bumper, secured with screws or double-sided tape. Wiring is crucial—run the cables from the rear along the door frame edges, under the carpet, to prevent tripping hazards. Connect it to the display on the dashboard; my Tayron has an original screen, so I directly plugged it into the video interface. If not, a small display can be attached to the dashboard. Power the camera by connecting it to the reverse light wiring, and use a multimeter to check for a 12V match. After installation, test it in reverse gear and adjust the camera angle for a clear view. The whole process took about two hours. I encountered signal interference but solved it by adding a shielded sleeve. For beginners, I recommend watching video tutorials or asking a friend for help—safety comes first.
