I purchased from this seller on eBay last June and it works very well. No complaints on my end. One thing to keep in mind is that you have to use the provided emblem since the non-camera hatch emblem will not fit. The emblem for the camera is deeper/thicker. I only mention that because I ended up removing it from the camera and spraying it with glossy black paint since I could not fit my non-camera glossy black one. (I can only speak for the unit that I purchased and have no idea if this is the case for others).
i installed a rear view camera recently. i was going to wire it up to the head unit until i my research led me to learn about all these new rear-view mirrors that triple up as a dash cam, mirror, and touch-screen display. i picked up a Pelsee P12 and i've been pleasantly impressed. there are many options to choose but i picked this one because it had some "smart" features like detecting cars entering your blind spots. i thought it was a gimmick but it works surprisingly well.

I got this one off aliexpress that I'm quite happy with, its been 2 years since I've installed it with my MIB2 unit.

Did you piece together your MIB retrofit from there also? Was the one from ali OEM China or just unbranded? I've gotten a few interior plastic pieces that were all OEM china complete with part numbers but they were 80% cheaper than OEM lol

I got my MIB 2 from this person, https://www.golfmk6.com/forums/index.php?threads/mib2-pq-retrofit-unlocked.381305/
The camera from Aliexpress was unbranded, but to my surprise the build quality seemed OE like.

I am very happy with mine. About same setup as you. I purchased the RCD330+ head unit and their rear emblem camera.
RCD330 head unit (carplay or android capable), no codes needed, it is an Asian market OEM unit.
The rear camera is an OEM look a like for way less, quality good.
I have had it for almost 2 years, very happy with the setup. Sept 2021 the camera was 135 and headunit was 359. RCD330 dot com.
Screen is fine unless you watch movies. I only use car play mostly lossless Apple music, Google maps, iMessage, backup cam. Happy with setup. It is corded but plenty of cordless usb dongles. i mostly use it corded just to keep my phone charged up especially on trips when using Google Maps.
I have regular speakers with the addition of the Rockford 10in powered sub and the sound is surprisingly good.

Not sure if...
not sure why the link is dead less than a month after you posted it, but would you be able to re-link the same cam you bought? aliexpress is littered with different variations, some are like $40 and I'm thinking they're garbage.
