Just thought I would mention the 2014 CC SPORT currently does not have a back-up camera standard.
If this is a feature you want, you will be dissapointed.
Although the website and brochure found in dealers says it does come standard, it doesn't.
This is a lie and a scam to help sell cars. Obviously they should remove this from VW.com until cars with this feature are available at the dealer.
Sport models with back-up camera's will be built later this year I was told.
Just some heads up!

You might've purchased a late 2013 model that's labeled as a 2014.
How much have you paid for it ? I suggest you reporting it to VW Germany about the dealer, if they did rip you off from this.

... on their website, they have the generic caveat.

* All prices are in U.S. dollars. Specifications, equipment, options and prices are subject to change without notice. Some items may be unavailable when vehicle is built. MSRP excludes taxes, destination charges, optional equipment, registration and dealer charges. Emissions charges may vary by jurisdiction. Dealer sets actual price. The 2014 Jetta Hybrid model with a starting MSRP of $25,195 is available via dealer order only in very limited quantities and only at participating Volkswagen dealers.

This 2014 CC SPort seems to have one....

That generic caveat definitely is designed to save their ass from the lawyers.

However, if anyone really wants a reverse camera, one can be had for as little as $93 from China. It does take a bit of work, however to install. I just happen to enjoy this kind of work.

I just installed one in my 2009 Eos and it works beautifully. Took me about 4 hours but based on dealer installation cost or factory OEM cost, I was well paid for my time.

Now my wife wants me to put one in our 13 CC, Sport Plus.:) I am happy to oblige.

When I was buying my CC back in august, I asked the dealer about the differences between the 2013 and the 2014. The backup camera on the 2014 really interested me. Unfortunately, when the dealer showed me his CC information screen, it said that backup cameras were standard 'with late availability on Sport and R-line models'. I seem to remember that it meant that any Sport or R-line 2014 CC made before November would not have one, but after that date they all would.
In the end I took a 2013 with a big discount because it wasn't worth taking a 2014. However, I really need a backup camera, because I cannot see s**t out the back.

Check out this salesman video comparing 2014 sport and 2014 r-line. They both have RNS-510 with camera and kessy system. I wonder if this is optional but i haven't seen anything on vw website.

Do you have any pictures of this installed? I came across another one that costs more but the installation process is different.

The Bentley mount is much neater but a whole lot more expensive plus the only hole I had to drill was a small one for the wire to go through and is hidden behind the license plate.
