VW Scirocco 3 GTS

Coding

It is important to note that as this is the 2013/2014 model, the electronics are almost the same as in the Golf 6.

Emergency brake flashing

During emergency braking at a speed over 60 km/h, the warning lights switch on automatically, when accelerating or continuing to drive at a speed higher than 40 km/h, the warning lights switch off automatically. If braking continues, the hazard warning lights come on automatically at speeds below 10 km/h. When you accelerate, the hazard warning lights switch off automatically.

Light bulbs

Front

For the non-xenon headlights, there are only two H7 55W bulbs for low beam and high beam. It’s a little bit more complicated with xenon headlights.

10 – P21W [Ba15s] Daytime Running Light
11 – H7 55W Cornering Light
12 – D1S 35W Xenon Low/High Beam

2 – HB4 55W Fog light
4 – W5W [T10] Parking light
5 – HY21W Turn signal

Rear

The whole tail light must be removed from the car in order to replace the bulbs.

7 – P21W Tail light, Brake light, Fog light
8 – PY21W Turn signal
9 – W16W [T15] Reversing light

Interior

7 – C5W 36mm Rear ceiling light
30 – W5W [T10] Front ceiling light
41 – C5W 36mm Make-up mirror

OEM Rear view camera [RETROFIT]

What you need

  • Compatible head unit RNS 510, RNS 315 or RCD 510 (only with 26pin connector)
  • Wiring Harness [1] – 5M1970161AC / 1K8035550 OEM
  • Camera [5] – 1K8980551
    • Camera case – 3W0807210B
    • Camera  fixing clip – 3W0807151

In addition to all this, tools are needed to remove the bumper and internal trims as well as to make a hole in the bumper for the camera. If the head unit is not already coded to support the rear view camera (from a car that had the camera), an OBD coding device is also required.

Wiring

My recommendation is to get retrofit cables (5M1970161AC) as they already come with an adapter for the extra 3 wires. These wires should be connected internally to +12V Countinuous (usually red), +12V Reverse Light (usually yellow) and Ground (usually black). My recommendation is to steal electricity (+12V, GND) from the cigarette lighter in the trunk, if it exists. The tail light is also nearby, so the cables will be as short as possible. By connecting an adapter to the cigarette lighter, no soldering or cutting of the original wires will be required.
