It should be. Perhaps try activating traffic sign recognition coding and see if that works. That will prove camera is working.

All those other things use other sensors. The camera is used for traffic sign recognition, lane assist and high beam assist. Are those specifically working?

Quick wash today so took the opportunity for some updated photos in the sunshine. More pics in the main picture thread.

Now the decrhome project is complete I thought it about time I took some more photos.

Does other assistance things work? sign recognition, lights etc. It could be as simple as the screen is dirty in front of the camera. Have you been out for a drive with it enabled? Might need the car to recognise a roadway before it activates. I don't have A5 camera so I am not sure, but I do use CarScanner for coding and not come across much that it can't do so far.

We get this on our 21 FL Kodiaq. You can manually download and install the updates but I haven't bothered to so far as I don't have a USB to USB C adaptor.

Are you certain that’s the part number of your camera? And did you definitely use the correct activation coding? There are different ones depending on camera hardware.

Yes i will be on the floor on jack stands. Worst case I will do it up as much as I can and then run to a friends garage with 4 post and torque them up there.

The auxito bulbs from aliexpress are fine. all work without issue with CAN.

I got tail light and fog light bulbs from AliExpress: LED rear indicator bulbs https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005102438682.html LED reversing bulbs https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006067983978.html LED fog light bulbs https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010051387090.html Just make sure with the reversing and indicator ones you select the correct option when ordering to get the right pin configuration. And Bevinsee headlight bulbs. I had one fail and the were excellent at organising replacement under warranty. Highly recommend these: https://ebay.us/m/GEjuI6

Mines 130k miles! Definitely needs new brakes. But have bought the proper high temp ate grease so I can check the pistons and pins.

Check out this post from @leolito who mounted one under the passenger seat.

No. I’d be very surprised if it calibrated like a normal camera. I didn’t have to code it to make it work so I suspect there’s some special Chinese firmware running to make it work. I’m well used to it now so there’s no need to calibrate really, the red line is correct it’s just the far distance is slightly narrow. Combined with dipping side mirror there’s not many spaces I can’t navigate in to.

Hi. I have all the manuals. I’ll dm you. Also if you state you are a garage they don’t actually check. I’ve paid for access a couple of times to get manuals for mine and my wife’s cars.

Yes it does. The only thing I have noticed is the general angle of the guide lines isn’t quite right, they taper in a bit too much, but you soon get used to judging it appropriately. It works exactly like low line OEM.

Are these pins the ones that required special grease and not the usual Copper grease? I’m planning on changing my front discs and pads shortly so just gathering the relevant equipment together.

If you are not too concerned about high line camera, I can highly recommend the AliExpress cameras. Work surprisingly well and are plug and play without coding. Had mine for 6 months or so now and works great. And only £30! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000230897829.html

Yeah! I noticed the top of the paddle would kiss the stalk sometimes but didn’t expect quite such a situation! I loved how they looked and if I could confidently get ones slightly shorter then I probably would. But I definitely don’t want to repeat that occurrence!

Well today I removed the up shift paddle extension in quite a dramatic fashion. It would appear that the windscreen wiper stalk when pulled to wash the windows is closer to the wheel that the top of the paddle extension. So if you wash the windows during a right turn, the paddle extension hooks behind the stalk and you can’t turn left or stop washing the windscreen! Luckily it was down a relatively wide and quiet country lane. And the 3M tape gave way just at the moment I had realised what had happened. Unfortunately the wife was in the car so I got somewhat of an ear bashing and a few “I told you so” about buying cheap parts from AliExpress! Safe to say the other extension will be removed in due course and I shall return to OEM paddles only!

Ordered these ones. Thanks for the help VehicleClipsVordere und hintere Türkarten- und Innenverkleidungsclips...Diese weißen Clips verfügen über eine integrierte Gummidichtung, die in den Clip eingegossen ist. Diese Art der Formung ist schwieriger als andere und macht es umso wichtiger, qualitativ hochwertige C

Perfect thanks. I think it’s the ones with the round base from memory so will get a few ordered up.

Sounds very much like my aliexpress shopping technique! With those lights you have to open up the hole in the plastic trim slightly for them to fit. I just used a Stanley knife and it only takes maybe 2-3mm to be removed one end of the slot for them to clip in. The left side seems to have quite a lot of wiring behind the hole so just be mindful of that when wielding the knife! For dashcam wiring, the front one you can just tuck wiring under the front edge of roof lining then down A pillar to the end of the dash. A pillar trim pulls off with two strong clips towards the centre of the windscreen from the top of the pillar then pulls up vertically out of the dash. The end panel of the dash prys open easily. Just make sure your wiring runs with the OEM loom and doesn’t cross in front of the airbag. For rear camera it’s a bit more tricky but most of the way you can just release plastic trim from the door seals and tuck under the trim. I would run low level past the doors, trickiest bit is past the pillar. Then tuck up the side of the leather trim by the rear bench. In the trunk the top edge plastic removes with a few Torx bolts hidden under hooks. Getting cable through tailgate to mount on the glass is really tricky. But I have seen on here somewhere that someone made a small bracket that tucks under the headliner so the camera is mounted to the back edge of the ceiling rather than on the glass of the tailgate which saves running the wires though the tailgate. If you don’t have one already I can also highly recommend the Ali express plug and play reversing cameras. Cable route is pretty much the same as where you would run them for rear dashcam so could run them in at the same time! I’ve got links to all the AliExpress treats I’ve bought in my project thread. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/537947-superb-mk3-estate-190ps-tdi-dsg-my2015-se-l-executive-moon-white/

Nice. I can highly Recommend the paddle extensions listed on the Gandalf project by @JR RS

If you take it to a garage that can recharge the aircon, they normally perform a leak test at the same time as replacing the refrigerant. They will be able to diagnose any issues

Have you had the air con regassed? The refrigerant can leak out over time and it is no longer efficient at cooling. Mine was not cooling much. Coldest at vent was 16C. Once regas completed it was 6C
