AUD RS5

Hello All,

So whilst I slowly and expensively make progress on my HUaD Visor...

I figured I would find something else to add to make "my" RS5 unique.

A front mounted camera.

I bought a used one from an A7 with cable harness on eBay for all of $150 US shipped. Another $200 in Audi OEM parts and its as original as I can get it. Keep in mind I still have to do some more cutting in the rear section in order for the camera to fit (last pic).




















I think most of you would agree that this should have been included along with the existing rear camera as a parking aid, considering the cost of a new bumper.

I will be back with more once I have the camera in hand and installed.

Till then, please follow me on my HUaD project here:

Thanks!

Hello all...


I am back! Finally have some time off from my 60 hour-a-week AV job to catch up on my projects and blog entries.

That and some discretionary income to go with the free time, so here is where I am at with one of my two projects on this forum.

Enjoy!



So today we are preparing to install the front (inside) driving camera ~ 120 degree view






Not to be confused with the already installed, dedicated front parking camera ~ 120 degree view






And along with it, the side wrap around view camera(s) ~ 170 degree view(s)





Still working on the rear camera too...





When all told, all (4) cameras should provide more than 360 degree views for my Four Channel DVR to capture and store...






As well as live views via one or both of my soon to be completed HUaD Visor Display Project

And finally.. my FLIR Nightvision solution for the RS5 - NO idea why on earth I could not order this with my RS5 as an option...






Here is what would be the full screen views I expect to see, again via my dual HUaD Visor Displays






And the view as if I was in the drivers seat (crude, but you get the idea)







More updates soon, when I am all wrapped up!

Hello ,


So i have made some progress now that my video controller came in and is installed.


1st function sorted out is my ability to have both rear & front parking cameras


Both available by stick shift placement, or on demand with oem dash and steering wheel buttons


Here is a youtube video in the making of just the parking cameras..

Hi George!

Resurrecting an old thread of yours...
Would happen to still have the detail/refs of the camera and harness you retrofitted and any required coding in VCDS?

TIA,

Brice
