The dynamic LED emblem assembly with app-controlled lighting

1

Remove the original flip emblem housing from the trunk.

2

Disconnect and remove the factory backup camera and its wiring harness.

3

Remove the four screws on the new dynamic housing to open it up for the camera to be mounted inside.

1

Attach the included bracket extension onto the stock camera — align the narrower side and push until it clicks into place.

2

Secure the bracket with the flat, longer screw in the center hole.

3

Mount the camera into the dynamic camera housing capsule, aligning the screw holes, and secure with the two round-head screws.

4

Plug the stock camera harness back in before inserting the unit further into the assembly.

1

Feed the camera capsule into its track on the main emblem flip mechanism, then install and lock the slide track cover.

2

Snap the mechanical linkage arm in and manually test that the camera flips out smoothly.

3

Align the motor actuator with the flip mechanism — the rocker arm must sit perfectly straight in the slot or the badge won't flip fully open or closed.

4

Secure the motor with the longest screw through the center hole, then the surrounding corner screws.

5

Snap the VW emblem faceplate on and lock down the housing with the four outer screws.
