A lot of folks are being mistakenly informed that they need the GVIF this is not correct. In order to use the reversing camera you will need to get a BROWN FAKRA connector to connect the video cable from the camera to the Rear of the NAV INFO Screen it will plug into the Brown Center port on your unit. Next you will need to enable the Reversing camera using a CCF (Custom Configuration File) editor within the Nanocom Evolution or a Faultmate unit from Blackbox solutions. The Nanocom is worth every penny so I would buy one and keep it in your tool kit. For the price you pay for the GVIF you get a diagnostic and configuration tool that will allow you to open up hidden functions in your RRS

Not so for his model year...... Unless you cut the touchscreen cable to get it to think it's a FFRR. For the facelift Rrs you can enable it but it doesn't work on the original. Bodsys Brake Bible

Bodsy, so then if 06 users do the Ribbon cable snip, they will be able to enable the external camera port!

I have an 09 and a friend has the 06,07 year and I have performed this on both units which are Denso's It has been an easy upgrade from that point. I have also enabled the venture cam video input on the rear of the Denso. both without using the GVIF units.

L4,
There are problems with the brightness of the screen when doing the ribbon cable snip. Unless you are very good at small component soldering, which most people are not.

I'm not clear in the method you use as your posts provide promises of easy CCF only modification but I believe that you've done the ribbon cable snip?

So if you could clarify for us, it would be appreciated. Have you found a way to enable reversing camera usage with ONLY CCF modification?
If you have, then that's fantastic news. Bow down But if you've also snipped the wire, please confirm.

For the record, I have both the msv2 extreme and the IIDpro tool so I can make any CCF modification required. Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

Unfortunately there is no clean way to route the wires around the screen.

I do not see removing/refitting the rear window as a worthwhile option.
