Rear camera install on 2013 Q7 retrofit under $300
Hello all,
I'm a new poster to this forum but have been lurking for a while. I went through the painstaking task of installing a rear camera on my 2013 Q7 that was equipped with the 3g mmi. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures but I'm willing to offer any assistance to anyone that is willing to do the install. I went through 4 days of trial-and-error hell, but I finally got it done.
I offered $200 for a Taiwan interface which was accepted
Car multimedia interface for Audi MMI 3G basic & High A1/A6/A8/Q7/Q5/A5/A4 2009~ | eBay.
I bought the camera here, but I would not make this purchase again as these particular cameras are available domestically and won't take 3 weeks to get.

This rear camera rear handle combo did require some slight modifications with my Dremel tool to get the proper fit.
I had to get a 12v dc 30/40a relay ($5.00) which was not mentioned in the instructions, some heatshrink and a small spool of 16g wire.
Being a new Audi owner, I was impressed by how the trim parts could be removed with little fear of breakage and most things just slipped right back into place.

I also recommend a interior trim tool set which is available at Harbor Frieght for like $7.00. There are two sets available . A larger blue set and a smaller yellow set. I bought the yellow set.
