RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 3:rd-Apr-2015

Windscreen arrived yesterday, well packaged had a quick look and I do need to get the mounting bracket. Good news is it looks more like it just clips on as there are like little plastic poppers stuck to the screen already.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - tucpal - 3:rd-Apr-2015

yes mate they just clip on

Yes mate I had look at mine this morning and it pushes up to come off.

Just need to find some cash to have it fitted and someone good to do it now.

I have a mounting bracket for the windscreen mate, came with my auto mirror. Don't know if it's any good to you?

Ahhh.... Worth a shot. If anybody wants it, then it's theirs for the taking FOC as I have no use for it.

I'll find out if vx will give the VCI code once I have the CD400 controls back from Baz as I need the factory unit back in.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 23:rd-Apr-2015

Well the new Screen has been fitted guy did a top job.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - tucpal - 23:rd-Apr-2015

RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 23:rd-Apr-2015

Just waiting for the Bracket and covers to arrive also the controls then I can request the VCI.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - bhalay207 - 23:rd-Apr-2015

How have you gone about the wiring on this? Does your car already have the looms for all of these gadgets?


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 23:rd-Apr-2015

Just needed a new roof to mirror loom for this one.

Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Tonto - 8:th-May-2015

Very nice mate, can't wait to see it ready and working. Never seen this before!


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - tucpal - 8:th-May-2015

cool good luck mate


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 20:th-May-2015

I've sent off for the VCI code/s this morning.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - JohnL - 24:th-May-2015

Have you had any luck with your VCI requests?


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 24:th-May-2015

Not yet need to re-request it as the guy at GM refused outright, I was gonna do it Monday when Lewis comes down but he's not coming now till next weekend I think.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 25:th-May-2015

Right I've re-requested the VCI code this time I've said no software is available so lets see what the response back is.

On a plus note I reprogrammed the radio and that download and installed the front camera software to it.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 26:th-May-2015

I ended up getting the same guy at GM seems he only knows how to say

Quote:this car is built without FCM. 


Support for Retrofit FCM is not possible.

Even after I responded to his email telling him the IPC and RADIO software had been downloaded and installed and I control the system from GDS2, and the fact the car has had AFL etc retrofitted which was not fitted at the factory.

I also told him if it can be fitted at the factory it can be fitted afterwards. 

I know this can be done it's just getting a VCI which this guy at GM seems unwilling to provide.

Some people are just jobsworths! Fingers crossed you get someone else next time mate!


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Tonto - 28:th-Jun-2015

Did you eventually get the vci codes mate?

can You give me electrical schemat or connector pins for front camera and switches?
I have Navi 900 radio. AFL+ system,


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 3:rd-Nov-2015

Do you have the front camera fitted from factory?

RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - kmy - 4:th-Nov-2015

Yes, I've this camera



but I can order this camera:



from Zafira C and install in my car.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 4:th-Nov-2015

There is no point buying the front cam as GM will not supply the VCI code needed, I'm working on a work around but need to find the time to get to the guy who has the cam fitted.

What you have is not the front camera it's the High Beam Assist mirror.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - kmy - 4:th-Nov-2015

VCI code and programing is not problem. I have one guy with MDI, and programed rear camera for car whitout VCI code.
I need electrical diagram and connector pins. I don't now where front camera is plugged.


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 4:th-Nov-2015

You will need a VCI code for the front camera otherwise you will not get access to the needed software.

GM will not provide a VCI code.

did you get the factory reverse camera to work
if so how did you do this and did it just need activation with MDI and no vci codes thanks.


RE: Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - kmy - 6:th-Nov-2015

I don't know, I didn't do that. In Poland there's a company which provides that: http://www.autoflashonline.pl/#intro.
In Astra J there is programmed reverse camera estate 35 model.

Without VCI codes.

Thank you I will look later on
