I have a 2013 vw passat sel tdi, I’ve had it for about a month only 20k miles, I assumed it did not have a back up camera but today I saw a camera in the rear trunk? If it is a rear view cam how do I turn it on/get it to display on my radio?
Yeah looks like that

Yeah I’ll have to pop it out and seeI had a 2013 TDI SEL and it did have the camera. The 2012’s did not due to the nuclear disaster in Japan. Someone swapped your radio and it’s unplugged or the radio isn’t coded to enable it.
I popped the camera out and I didn’t see any wires not being used so I assumed the camera is already plugged in, a guy ik is gonna use a vagcom to activate it on the radio I’ll report backRNS315 has capability to install a back up camera, just need the wiring and handle.
We installed one on our 12 SE with the RNS315.
Can you pull the radio back out and take a pic of all of the connectors on the back of the radio?I popped the camera out and I didn’t see any wires not being used so I assumed the camera is already plugged in, a guy ik is gonna use a vagcom to activate it on the radio I’ll report back
Yup got a air bag error loltop tip:
disconnect the battery before pulling the radio trim and disconnecting the air bag seat light, otherwise it'll toss a air bag light on the dash.
Yes I believe that it does have that black connectorCan you pull the radio back out and take a pic of all of the connectors on the back of the radio?
The rear view camera is the wide black connector that is under the GPS antenna connector. You can see what I mean in one of the pics here.

If there is a connector plugged in there, then it probably is a matter of coding, which is also covered at that link.
