Original Audi rear view camera retrofit kit with wiring harness for the Audi A5 Cabriolet F5 (B9)
A rear view camera must be perfectly positioned and provide excellent image quality – that is exactly why we offer the original Audi rear view camera as a complete retrofit kit for your Audi A5. Many modern vehicles have sacrificed visibility in favour of design and safety. On many models, it is no longer possible to accurately judge the front or rear edges of the vehicle. As a result, even experienced drivers can easily overlook obstacles that are difficult to see. Retrofitting a rear view camera not only helps prevent scratches but can also help avoid serious accidents.
Features:
- Original Audi retrofit kit including activation document
- This rear view camera is activated via Audi SVM
- The "Rear View Camera" equipment is permanently registered by Audi to your vehicle identification number (VIN)
- All functions identical to a factory-installed rear view camera
- Display on the original radio or navigation system screen
- This camera features dynamic guide lines that adjust according to the steering angle to indicate the vehicle's path
- Automatic activation when reverse gear is engaged
- Automatic activation via the parking assistance button
- Visual parking assistance remains available (if equipped)
- Acoustic parking assistance remains fully functional (if equipped)
Installation information:
- The retrofit kit is relatively easy to install and is also suitable for experienced DIY enthusiasts. The camera is installed in the tailgate in the original factory position and connected to the radio/navigation unit.
- After installation, the vehicle must be activated for the rear view camera function. The retrofit kit includes an activation document with licence protection. Activation can only be carried out by an authorised Audi dealer. Activation using VCDS, Carly or similar diagnostic systems is not possible.
Special feature of this activation: the "Rear View Camera" equipment is officially registered by Audi to your vehicle identification number (VIN), meaning your vehicle is subsequently identical to one equipped with a factory-installed rear view camera.
- Would you prefer to retrofit your rear view camera entirely on your own without the required Audi online activation? This is also possible. Simply order our retrofit kit with item number RVC-A5F5-CAB. In this version, the camera is already parameterised and pre-coded. Final coding can be carried out using VCDS, OBD-Eleven or Carly.

We also offer this product including complete professional installation at a fixed price. As part of the installation, we parameterise the rear view camera control unit and carry out all required coding on the vehicle (additional charge: €399.00). If you would also like the retrofit to be officially registered with Audi, this service is available for an additional €69.00. The new "Rear View Camera" equipment will then be officially registered to your vehicle identification number (VIN).
To schedule an appointment, please contact us via our CONTACT FORM. Please always include your vehicle identification number (VIN) with your enquiry.
Information: Rear view camera calibration is not included in the installation price.
However, all camera systems supplied by us are pre-configured as accurately as possible, so under normal circumstances you will not notice any difference compared to a calibrated camera. If you still require calibration, we will gladly refer you to the nearby Autohaus Berning (Audi/VW partner). Typical calibration costs are approximately €150–200.
