Received my 2012 Passat SEL tdi about a month ago and love it, but wish the navigation system interfaced with backup cameras when the car is put in reverse. Does anyone know if this is possible to retrofit and link with existing navigation/control screen? I am not really interested in the separate screen on my dash. thanks in advance for your thoughts.:)

It is definately possible. Some of the guys on VWVortex have already done it. They are using parts off of other VW models to make it look and perform like OEM.

thank you tryin and Kchorro. that was a very good writeup ont VWVortex. I wonder how much time that modification would take an ok mechanic, along with cost of components? again, thanks.
