No what I meant is there are camera at the bottom of the bumper which look like fog lights. Those read the signs/lane assist.

Then there is the camera in the middle of the grill.

I'm asking are they coding so the camera in the grill reads signs and displays it on the HUD/VC?

The "fog lights" are radar sensors for adaptive cruise control to detect the distance to the car in front of you, they do not "read" traffic signs or allow Lane Assist to work, that's what the windshield mounted camera is for. The camera in the grill is for top view and pre-sense front and has nothing to do with lane assist or traffic sign recognition.

What I'm asking is if he has the camera on the windshield then why is he looking to tweak it? Doesn't it already show the signs on the VC/HUD?

I thought this tweak would use the front camera on the grill to display the signs

I do not believe our cars have any cameras on the grill. Not sure what you're looking at but it may be a radar sensor and not a camera my friend.

Yep, there is a "grill" camera, the road signs are NOT read here but like mentioned,are read with the camera up near the rear view mirror. I'll try and dig up the Audi sensor graphic and add it to this post...

There is no camera in my grill for the pre-sense, this is performed also by the camera under the interior rear view mirror as this illustrates https://www.audi-technology-portal.d...-sense-city-en

Where is there a camera in your grill?

OH...makes sense now...you have an S5...not an A4. You are in the A4-B9 forum and I don't believe that the A4's have a camera in the grill.
