Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 5:th-Jan-2015

I'm hoping to retrofit the Front camera that is used for Lane departure and traffic sign assist.

I know I will need the following

Windscreen
Switch for camera
Camera
Mirror loom


I have sourced a camera at a bargain price of £52 (instead of £500+), It was a gamble buy as it's listed on EPC as a 3 door.
I have ordered the Mirror loom for £18 as I want to see if I can talk to the camera before buying a new windscreen.

Has anybody with a 5-door got the front camera? as I would like them to get some pics of it if possible.

Good luck on this one lol

nice mate, if this work i am deffo game for this :P I need a new windscreen by end of year as have so many stone chips in it already....


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 13:th-Jan-2015

Right the loom arrived today. So I went out plugged it in along with the camera and plugged the vauxcom on and I picked up the camera.

I can tell its a brand new camera as it has no VIN or software programmed into it.

I shall now order the button I need and I shall start hunting for a new windscreen.

So I've had a little play today TIS won't let me program the camera says I need a VCI (fair enough) I can set the camera up.

Then I popped over to the IPC programming and it wanted to download new software.

Once done I checked though the menus and it's given me a new one.

Yes mate you will lose your factory Bluetooth.


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - JohnL - 17:th-Jan-2015

Is this different to the camera that comes with high beam assist?


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 18:th-Jan-2015

Totally different mate,

But looking at the list on GDS this does high beam assist too.

Will good to see this workimg and whether the wiring is the same as HBA


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 18:th-Jan-2015

Wiring is totally different mate this camera uses a different plug with more wires the HBA mirror.

Also this camera uses the empty button (if you have one) next to the park sensors button.

Also there is a button on the steering wheel.

With GDS you can control the following functions

High Beams
Lane Departure Warning Indicator
Lane Departure Warning Switch
Forward Collision Alert Switch


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - cornishtaz - 18:th-Jan-2015

Just the windscreen and steering wheel button to get I've emailed Autovaux to find out what the P&P charge will be and also it the bracket comes on the screen already.


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - tucpal - 9:th-Feb-2015

the brackets are separate.


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 9:th-Feb-2015

Ok mate I thought they came already on a new windscreen


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 10:th-Feb-2015

Right Autovaux came back to me today the windscreen does come with the bracket, the problem now is Vauxhall have discontinued the above windscreen part number so they trying to find out the new part number.


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 13:th-Feb-2015

Autovaux came back today, Vauxhall still do the above windscreen part number just they have no stock and no supplier of it.

So I need to order it and wait.


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - tucpal - 13:th-Feb-2015

can you not just modify the one you have ??


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Rusty2009 - 14:th-Feb-2015

I thought about that but I don't know where cam sits nor the size of the cut out etc, had a look around both dealers and no 5 doors have the camera.

I do need a new screen anyway as I have a stone chip that's been repaired but MOT guy said it will still fail as its visible and in the drivers field of view.

I think this will be my last retro fit I did want to do the advanced park assist but not just yet


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Nuttynat - 25:th-Feb-2015

hi i have been trying to tell him this for ages. he does not understand the word NO. you best bet to help him stop is to tell everyone out there who says it cant be done to shut up as Rusty has to prove them wrong. I am fed up of this myself but it is like talking to a brick wall just in my case i have more chance getting a brick wall to get up and dance then every have Rusty listen to me HIS WIFE lol


Front camera retrofit for Lane departure and traffic sign assist - Alienbv - 25:th-Feb-2015

[MENTION=324]Nuttynat[/MENTION] I searched the internet for a good forum & wonderful guys like Rusty & the other awesome guys here but havent found those qualities only here. I like to repair mobile phones/laptops/tablets, its a hobby of mine. I bought my car 1 year ago from germany & im in love with it "opel astra sports tourer". The other day I was surfing the net in search for a way to paint the center console trim & in my search I stumbled here on this forum, so I started reading most of the posts here & found out that its not only fool proof, its just perfect. Im glad your husband is a "Nerd" like me. This is what we men love to do. Tinker with stuff that we have Im also newly married & my wife started to like my ideas for the car. So thank God I got a good wife as you are for your Rusty

I think what annoys [MENTION=324]Nuttynat[/MENTION] more is I just go oh by the way I'm doing this (never ask if I can as I know the answer will be no).

But she's ok as long as I do something to her car too, and I can always rope her into getting her hands dirty too which is a bonus.
