I have a 2013 SW TDI Jetta with the navigation system. However this model did not come with a back-up camera. Does anyone have any recommendations for a back-up camera that I could use with the stock navigation module?

Maybe check to see if a MY 2015 one will fit your car?

There is a convertor you can also use for other generic cameras. But first you must determine whether your current head unit will even accept a camera input. I am swapping my current base level HU for a RNS315 which supports a camera (OE) and wiring (OE) and the original camera mounts above the license plate.

Smartass reply of the day...

Have you tried using your mirrors like they taught you in driver training? :p

Show me a mirror that shows the bumper view of my car when backing up to another car or to a wall. Besides it is an added safety feature not a replacement for mirrors. Maybe you missed your common curtesy class in drivers training.

Some people are helpful others not so much.

thanks Lightflyer1 if you drove in my SW Jetta you would realize there are a couple of deep blindspots and after driving in the SW Golf the back up camera made all the difference.
