Default Back-up camera for MK5 Jetta Sedan?

I have recently upgraded to an RNS510 in my 2010 Jetta Sedan and am interested in putting in the reverse camera. Most of the kits I am finding are for the sportwagon and golf (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-VW-...#ht_500wt_1413).

Anyone know which part I need or if it exits? Or do I have to modify this item?

Thanks in advance!

That should work because it goes to the same head unit. However, I don't know if the exterior one will fit without trimming. Here's what I know so far: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/a...m-retrofit.htm

Also, it's the camera only. If you want the moving guidelines that move with the steering wheel you need the highline camera.

I understand that the unit will plug into my RNS no problem, I'm talking about the actual trunk mounting of the camera assembly. I sent that user a message on ebay and he said that it will not work in the sedan (MKV) anyway.

Side note, what's the difference in the high-line camera? I figured that the guidance lines were directed by the power steering system in reference to the steering angle, no?

I'm not sure but I think it has to do with the electronics in the camera for the guidelines.
