This video guide shows how to install a universal reversing camera in a 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan. To carry out this operation, you need to remove both the original handle and the internal plastic panels of the tailgate by unscrewing the various bolts and screws.

Only after completing this first part can you run the necessary wiring for your reversing camera. These must then be routed to the engine compartment, so continue removing the internal plastics of the vehicle.

Only at the end can you connect the power supply and operate the reversing camera.
