Like the glue gun idea.
Think I prob need to free up a bit more metal to solder to as well.

Cheers. Yes that looks like the bugger. As you can see fixes between the lens and where the cables enter the body are somewhat limited. A more reasonable replace option.

Camera is moulded into the other end of the same plastic. So further stripping down doesn’t give you anything. I’ve only found full units for sale. And they ain’t cheap

Yeah. Built like this and not really disassembleable.

This shows a bit more of the issue on someone else’s

PVA isn't waterproof, so there's that...  ;)
Wasnt worried about weather...its dry in there, and didnt think heat shrink would get to where i needed it given where I was trying to solder was previously embedded in solid plastic

So the Camera (flips out of boot release) on her 2010 Golf VI has given up.

Removed it, opened it up, found a broken wire.....

Carefully scraped back some plastic, did my best soldering with poor access, added some PVA glue as insulation added a little cable tie to try and reduce strain on the join and refitted.  Lasted a couple of weeks
Any ideas on how to do a longer lasting repair?

I have the imaginatively titled 'car scanner' free iphone app, works with wifi EML327 dongles, few quid off ebay etc.

I have a better plug in laptop one too, but handy to keep in the car.

As stated, Bluetooth will not work with an iphone, you NEED a wifi version.

Fixed the reversing camera on the golf....Wire had snapped where it enters a plastic housing, so lots of craft knife scraping, bit of soldering, job done.

Fingers crossed it holds, leaving it a week before I fight the boot trim back on.

We get a lot of BMW owning spam applications, these get rejected

Not spotted a valid application, if you want to pm me when the application is put in I can go look for it

That makes sense.

Reckons he's using the name Carbine :y

Disclaimer - if he turns out ro be a lunatic it's not my fault.
