Awesome Well Done! The back dash installation is so clean. Thanks for the instructions gives me the confidence to do the same.

[@LastHumansGarage]

Glad to help

[@ElliotM1101]

Thank you so much for this video! I wouldn't have even attempted to install the rear camera without this video and it went surprisingly smoothly.

[@LastHumansGarage]

sweet man. mine is still doing fine. i can't remember if i routed the A pillar stuff safely or not, but i hope i did.

[@lmike6453]

Great video with camera angles and clear walkthrough. Thanks!

[@mattellis1256]

Just a note of thanks. Installed a Thinkware 2 channel yesterday in my Mk7 and was mostly puzzled by the set up of the rear camera. This was a great walk through.

[@LastHumansGarage]

sweet man

[@MelodicMurder]

I took the dive and signed the papers for a lapiz blue golf r 2018. I should be picking it up after work tomorrow and i cant wait :)

[@LastHumansGarage]

congrats man! a Golf R in blue is sick!

[@MelodicMurder]

Thanks. I could not sleep last night as the anticipation is killing me.

[@danwhaley_]

YOU ARE A GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. Your discussion was like a salve for my anxiety in this proess.

[@LastHumansGarage]

thank you angel

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

It's probably not worth going back, but on mine I routed the cables in the front thru the over head controls and cut a hole out of the bottom of the rear view mirror trim for everything to come out of. Removing the two pieces of rear view mirror trim are a HUGE pain in the ass but it does make the setup that much cleaner. Can send you photos if you'd like to see!

[@LastHumansGarage]

ya not worth it now, im satisfied with the install.

[@diegohooker]

Thanks for making this, I'm gonna be installing a 2 channel dash cam on my mk7.5 this afternoon

[@LastHumansGarage]

good luck!

[@alberto.zanardo]

Thank you for your video. It really helped me during the installation of my dual channel dash camera (Mini 0906) on my Golf Mk7.

[@LastHumansGarage]

sweet mate!

[@dlroto]

Nice I need one of these, j can’t wait to see this cam in action.

[@johnrambo4581]

Lmao i was expecting some kinda magic see thru tape or sumn looks like electrical tape and omg that tibe you have to fish lines thru sux i had to do thar on my gf taillights she got bland sequenctial..nice install thank you for pointers im getting ready to do same thing..by the way love your vidd been watching you for yearss

[@LastHumansGarage]

thanks John Rambo. I watched your movie in 1982.

[@poulrichardfedders4604]

Thank you for your video. Very helpful. Good work!

[@LastHumansGarage]

[@leesuttonuk]

Great video - though in the A-pillar step (2:41) is the cable fouling the airbag, so in the event of side-deployment would the cable be in the way? Have seen some videos say to run behind the airbag which seems to be in the entire A-pillar and above into sidelining?

[@LastHumansGarage]

behind is better for sure. i couldnt get my A-pillar fully off. a lot of people have trouble with that

[@RJYOUNG396]

I have a MK7 and as you know, it's only got the USB's in the center console. I have a wireless carplay adapter in there so I can keep it closed and don't want any wires going in there. Where did you end up plugging this in?

[@LastHumansGarage]

rear camera? it doesnt plug in. it just connects to front camera with 1 cable.

[@tedjohnson64]

Nice tutorial! Did the Tessa tape (for the wires on the front facing dashcam) actually stay in place for the long term? Windshield glass can get hot in the summer… so I’m wondering if the glue in the Tessa tape actually held up, or did it come unglued? Every time I buy Tessa tape, the glue is really weak. Maybe I’m getting counterfeit tape…?

[@LastHumansGarage]

seems to hold up for me.

[@tedjohnson64]

@@LastHumansGarage Good to know, thanks for the reply! Maybe I just had a bad batch of Tessa tape. I hear the Amazon warehouses tend to get really hot, so maybe the Tessa tape roll I received from Amazon had been baking in a warehouse for a while and the glue denatured and got less sticky. I'll try getting a roll from a non-Amazon source.

[@jasonmccomb138]

great video, but what about the curtain bags along the roof lining?

[@LastHumansGarage]

What about it?

[@jasonmccomb138]

@@LastHumansGarage Wont your cable stop the airbag from deploying correctly?

[@SurfThomasVD]

Yes true the curtain airbag wil throw the cable through the car. Really dangerous

[@roryfinnegan1070]

I See you went straight accross the a pillar , most cars have an airbag there so should it be needed the airbag will deploy and meet the cable which will result in air bag obstruction

[@LastHumansGarage]

damn!

[@f235688]

i got the exact same same dashcam :D thanks for sharing

[@LastHumansGarage]

awesome bro, mine has served me well. i have crash foots from a recent video also.

[@fredneumann1965]

Thank you! Very good Tipps! 😉

[@LastHumansGarage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dimaj1]

Thanks for the great video! How did you deal with not blocking your airbag?

[@LastHumansGarage]

i think i went on the very edge of the pillar just barely tucked under

[@dimaj1]

@@LastHumansGarage what concerned me is your jump from windshield to the outer side of the weather guard. If you are doing the easy jump, I would re-run the cable to go under the airbag

[@LastHumansGarage]

Dmitry Jerusalimsky been a long time, can’t even remember

[@LastHumansGarage]

i remember that i couldnt get the a-pillar off, and i had done a few VW's before. I didn't want to break clips or lose any down holes like previous cars. so i did it that way

[@dimaj1]

gotcha. thanks!

[@yakuza1970]

Big thanks for showing you rear cam install! It looks like I have a new project to work on with the removal of the back panels. Still makes me a bit anxious about breaking the clips. Where do you get Tesa tape, other than online?

[@LastHumansGarage]

online. or pay 5X as much at a BMW dealer. under $7 online dude.. amzn.to/2Opgujy

[@LastHumansGarage]

in fact, im gonna order a new roll, im almost out.

[@yakuza1970]

Thanks. Just ordered some on Amazon.

[@DevineDigital]

How did you go around the B Piller? did you go from the front door seal up to the b pillar/headliner crease like you did in the C pillar, back into the rear door seal?

[@LastHumansGarage]

all along the top edge. have to remove bill pillar cover a bit.

[@koaschten]

Do you happen to have DAB receiver radio?Any issues with reception? Does the radio fall back to FM when the cam is on? I basically took the same routing and my DAB reception is literally shit now. :(

[@LastHumansGarage]

i have the normal 2018 SE radio. no nav. never has issues.

[@blower1]

Nice!

[@vwdriver9683]

I really hope you did, but in your vid it looks like your putting the cabling OVER TOP of your side curtain air bags. You have to pop out the a-piliar and go behind it. Did this when I installed my DR900, pain but I like not dying

[@LastHumansGarage]

good tips.. i might have. maybe ill look into redoing it soon..

[@cginwala]

Yes it is very important for the safety. Those airbags rush out that 300 KM/hr speed and the copper inside these wires can be deadly. I just self installed on my Lexus today ( DR750 2 Channels) . I t took me extra 15 minutes but definitely I was able to run behind the airbags. Glad I did.:) Safety first my friend. Take care.

[@LastHumansGarage]

damn,. i guess thats tonight project then.. i had pulling out that top a-pillar, always afraid ill get a perm stain with my fingers jammed in there

[@vwdriver9683]

LastHumansGarage it's a two stage clip so it won't come off all the way initially. Once you have it popped out there's a decent size gap, the hanger you were using would make this easy work. If you want to completely remove it you'll need a pair of long needle nose pliers to slide the clips out of the channels they sit in (stage two). I hope your NOT in an accident, but you def want all your safety measures unobstructed if you are! 👍

[@cginwala]

@@LastHumansGarage I did not pull out the entire A pillar. Just enough to feed the wires behind the airbag. Same as you did but open that corner a bit and slowly feed the wire. For the safety , go very slow n gentle while dealing that area of A pillar. Experts recommend disconnecting the car battery before dealing with airbag area. Good night. It is nearly 4am at California. I am still awake. 😊

[@lotsaluvnikki]

I might have q silly question buuuut is there a way to drill this somehow to the outside of my car. I don't want to put on the inside. I have a sedan so it would def be a different view than a camera in your back window.

[@LastHumansGarage]

no... do not drill a hole in your hood to mount a camera.. please.

[@lotsaluvnikki]

@@LastHumansGarage I screwed it into my previous car it was fine. May need to get it professionally installed anyhow I wonder what they do. So answer is no.. it should be mounted on the inside?

[@forgotenhatred]

​@@lotsaluvnikkidoes a camera that is not waterproof need to be installed inside the car? No it's fine I'm the rain

[@izharm8535]

The rear windshield rubber you have removed should not be reassembled with adhesive ?

[@LastHumansGarage]

you mean the wire loom parts? As long as you don't break the clips, no, it does not need any adhesive. all that will do is make a mess

[@K1LLerN1ghtmare]

@@LastHumansGarage Tried installing my rear camera and I broke the top and bottom clips. Will this cause any leaks or not?

[@LastHumansGarage]

@@K1LLerN1ghtmare yes... I hate those clips...

[@K1LLerN1ghtmare]

@@LastHumansGarage Do you know if the plastic clips are irreplaceable? If so do you know where I can get them from?

[@drsavage99]

Should have watched this before I broke the plastic clips on the trunk

[@LastHumansGarage]

doh

[@treymetzger]

I broke my rubber wire grommet plastic clips on the hatch of my week old GTI installing my rear cam. Silicon is holding at least. Just not pretty

[@LastHumansGarage]

ya i have a spare new accordion in my stash im saving in case of leaks. I did break my clip doing the rear cam, but i glued it back and i been lucky.

[@treymetzger]

LastHumansGarage yea, however, you have to undo the harness to remove it. Total pain. Somebody said VW charges $500 to do the job. 😩

[@LastHumansGarage]

@@treymetzger oh ya, a huge pain.. that why i havent bothered since i dont have a leak...

[@K1LLerN1ghtmare]
