I have just got a q7 and have the parking plus, i would like to add the parking camera (and possibly the tv), is there a quide anywhere that will help in fitting, or is there anywhere that fits this around derbyshire.

Adding the parking camera if you do not have TV already is quite an expensive operation.

Basically the front controller of the car has to be swapped to enable video from the camera or TV to be displayed on the MMI screen. It will require a trip to the dealers to fix the component protection when the controller is swapped. Also you will need VAG COM to read out all the values in the controller before your replace it.

Then fit either the camera or TV system.

If you give me a call I can give you some prices.
