Retrofit a5 camera without replacing windshield

Featured Replies

Hello

 

This is my corrent project , i have been falowing golfmk7 forum and mqb.pl site trying to retrofit this to my superb.

What i have done so far is mount the a5 camera in my own mirror. I have made the bracket with :

3 aluminium cutted pieces 5€ Laser cut file

3mx2cm screws- bought in a 3d printer mounting shop 2€
3 spring -bought in a 3d printer mounting shop 2€
3 precision nuts-bought in a 3d printer mounting shop 3€

34 pin 0.5 pitch cable and Pcb

 

You can se in the pictures below. 

 

The next thing I'm going to do is  glue the camera board to the ceiling  maby using velcro tape so i can remove it when ever i want, then pass the cable i have bought from alliexpress.

 

to be continued

This solution wont work on Superb Mk3 because the cable maximum lenght to the correct camera has to bem 20cm and that wont do.

The only solution is 3d printed case that i already made.

 

Camera box (beta)

Ok so i was able to retrofit lane assist without replacing the windshield i  used a 3d print camerabox glued to the windshield. 

I made it only using OBD11

It would be great if you could upload some schematics..

@Camarao69 I'd love more details on this. Did you need to change the mirror? Where did you get the camera cable?

Hello I didn´t change the windshield and mirror, i had to make a 3d box for camera and paint the glass  with black primer , you can use the stencil below to do that . You will  need 3M (for glass) Doble sided tape  to glue the 3d box to the  painted glass. You will need to have front radar for this retrofit.

My car is left side driven so not UK, the cable goes from head lights to Front Radar you have to tap 2 wires in the drivers footwell pilar A as well

When you have the cable i will guide you better, you only need obd11 to do this.

Great thank you, I am going to start collecting parts. What length flex cable did you use? I seen somewhere that if longer than 20cm the camera will not work. Is 20cm long enough?

I had to quit the mirror version because of the flex cable,  it didn´t have enough lengh 20cm is not enough, I had to go with 3d box rout so no flex cable needed.

 

The first post is useless.The cable goes through the mirror cover

I see now, the first post had me confused!

 

You have painted the glass so it looks better I assume?

Yes,  so that you don´t see the glue from the outside.

Hi @Camarao69

 

I have my cable and am looking to start wiring, my loom has this extra terminal that yours doesn't. From looking at wiring diagrams I think it is a 12v feed?

 

Can you tell me where you wired into the CAN extended bus?

Hi i am planning on doing this on my MQB 2014 mk7 Golf gti

i have gotten the 3Q0 980 654 H camera + harness

I will 3d print the bracket you attached and perform the retrofit.

My question is how did you only need OBD11? no need calbration with ODIS or Component Proection Removal?

Only 2Q & 5WA have CP

BASIC Settings, you dont need Odis when you know What you do
