Upgrading A5 frt sensors

[kamold]

Have my camera, wiring harness, heater mat and adapter mounts.
Waiting on a few trim pieces from VW but they are just to hide the cabling and camera, won't hold up the installation.
New windscreen should be installed over the weekend then I'll need to run the calibration routines and do some testing!

Are you installing this on a Passat that doesn’t have he front camera assist installed already?
Would you also be able to provide the part numbers of the cables heater mats etc.
Did you get the camera used from eBay, the camera parts don’t have VIN identification right?

Yes my car is a B6 and doesn't have any camera at all currently.

You can see the part numbers in the photos for the camera and heater mat.
This is the harness:
Lane assist Lane keeping system Wire/cable/Harness For Golf 7 MK7 Passat B8 MQB CARS-in Car Stickers from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

The camera can be second hand, but it has to be calibrated using ODIS and the right calibration board which also encodes the VIN into the camera.

So I wouldn’t need the heater mat or the wiring harness if I have the lane assist installed already but mine is the 3AA series.
What about the 3D printed mounting brackets for the camera? How are you managing with those?

If you already have a camera its a straight swap, apart from the difference in the mount.
You can see the yellow 3d printed adapters in the camera module photo. A friend of mine in Europe had them made and sent them to me along with the camera and heater mat.

The heater mat is 3G0 862 505 right?
Would it be possible to buy the 3D printed mounts from you?

I'll see if I can get some more made up sure.
You then will need to either go to a dealer or get the calibration board made up and run through the procedure with ODIS.

Installed and working.
Just waiting on new trim pieces to cover it all up.

Traffic signs work with the Australian map? I thought functionality would be limited again. Is it because it’s a camera from European vehicle?

It gives an error saying limited but it works fine.
