Nope... Canadian. Not knackered... But is that similar?

Bonnet and Boot? Seriously? At least "trunk" for the rear makes sense since that's where the "trunk" (luggage) was stored on the old carriages during horse and buggy days.

But Bonnet...that makes no sense. Can one of you well informed Brits please explain?

The term 'boot' apparently dates back to the days of horse drawn transport but the origin of 'trunk' is a bit later.

In the case of the English "boot", the origin is that in the 18th and 19th centuries, the coachman used to sit on a locker where he could store, among other things, his boots. For this reason, this was termed the "boot locker" and after a while an additional compartment situated at the rear of the coach was used, also called for the same reason the "boot" (for short).

As for the American "trunk", well it should suffice to look at all the classic cars designed in the post WWI era, for which trunks were mounted at the rear end.
In this affluent era, cars from manufacturers like Duisenberg, Cord, Buick, Lincoln were all competing for high end customers and these trunks featured many compartments for plates, whiskey flasks and all the paraphernalia needed to go for a picnic. Some cars (mainly coupés, or "roadsters") had special compartments for golf clubs.

The term 'bonnet' seems to come from the use of the word to mean a metal cowl or covering such as for a fireplace and perhaps resembling a bonnet (lady's hat tied under the chin) in shape.
In Scotland, bonnet is a man's cap usually brimless although many use the word for any type of hat.

How about other terms?

Dashboard: This term also dates back to horse drawn days and was originally the piece of timber mounted horizontally in front of the coachman specifically to protect him from the mud etc. flying up from the hooves of the horses. The word dash can mean splatter and, of course, a long thin piece of wood is a board.

Wings: The dashboard on carriages/coaches can have extension pieces attached extending out horizontally, to further protect the people on the coach from mud etc. These extension pieces were called wings.

I think I've digressed. Deletion is available on request.

I feel that I have learned something today! Boot sounds so much better than trunk! Anyway here's a wee pic of my Scottish bonnet :lol:

Quick over view of the VCDS coding to enable the reverse camera -

at the [Rear View Camera] option, Select "Channel" [ 04 ]
Change the "New value" from [ 0 ] to [ 1 ] by clicking on the [Up] button

Hi, fitted the this mod, however having problem which I think is due to my rnse not having RSFL for block c pin 2, It called up N.C
When Engine running screen is blank and no buttons work, but can hear the radio.

Thanks for the confirmation, thought that would be the issue. Think it comes up on the dash as av1.

I've now reset everything back via vcds ie no reverse camera. Rnse works fine and in source now have TV, but obvious no reverse camera. Wish I had known about the pin c2 before hand, lesson learned, bought reverse camera and interface :-(

Anyone willing to change there Rnse with me, one that has RFSL.

'almost' ready to install . . .

however, ReTTrofit, can I check with you re pins on D for power?

The multimedia adaptor i got shows ground on 12 but permanent 12v on 15 - not 16 as your above post shows.
Ive researched all over for D pin diags and all show 12 as K31 ground and 15 as K30 12v positive. eg . . .

What do you have 15 and 16 as on your RSNE

Also I have got a wireless camera so dont need to feed video from back to front but I need to power the wireless receiver at the front for video i/p to RSNE from a 12v reverse source, any ideas 😉 or i will have to feed 12 reverse from back to front afterall :roll:

cheers for any help

 

[ReTTro fit]

Your absolutely right mate
Pin 15 is 12v
Pin 12 is gnd

If you tell me the year of your car or which CEM you have I can tell you which pin on the CEM is the output for the reverse light, then you could take it from there rather than the back of the car

[ReTTro fit]

Here you go mate
If you have the later CEM ( 3 x 52 pin )
The reverse light feed is :
Block A pin 28

If you have the earlier CEM
Block B pin 1

Ok thanks anyway

It needs to be the offset type mate else the camera picks up the boot lip, plus the offset type allows full number plate light.

Found it, ordered it
Thanks Lea
