Golf MK7 Front View Camera, part 2: grill and badge mod

Modifying #VW Golf MK7 grill and placing front view #camera in the vehicle for my DIY #frontView project. I believe I've found the right camera for my needs, with wide enough field of view, small size, compact shape, satisfying low-light performance. I removed front grill, disassembled front badge, applied template to drill the hole, positioned the camera, glued it in place, assembled it back, connected to MIB2, and checked if it works as expected.

🚗 This project is made in 2015 Volkswagen Golf MK7 with MIB2 Discover Media infotainment system and retrofitted original RVC High camera. This is not a retrofit project, since this functionality was not available in for VW Golf MK7. Some other MQB vehicles had option of 360 AreaView feature with 4 cameras and 3D view. My project is a custom modification that I'm planning to make in my vehicle. I'm just sharing my progress and hope for your input.

Imagine someone buying this car second hand in the future and thinking it’s just a “basic” golf variant… the amount of changes you did to your car is huge. I learned alot from it to do on my own Golf MK7

[@denissotinac2435]

aweasome! keep up with the good work. waiting for final part :)

[@iamdmc]

pretty cool but I don't see that surviving more than a year if you can easily replace it then it might be worth it to you

[@mrfixpl]

We will see how long it will last.

[@derrickedwards5736]

That is a problem with the majority of cheap cameras. They generally don't last. I have found a brand that is coming up to a year now and still working. My advice is to get a metal bodied camera as the plastic ones don't seem to last.

Very nice work! You are great!

interesting yet simple mod :)

[@mrfixpl]

One of those simple modes that require couple days of thinking before touching the car. 😉

Hi, nice project, i will try with the front peripheral camera in bumper but it's hard to find pin out, i tkink you can increase the FOV with a 1.5mm lens (180°)

[@mira4drawing]

Hi how are you? I have a bunch of function installed codes that say "denied" how do I remove them? I just got this car, can i fully reset the unit?

[@anthonygranados9806]

Great video, would there be any way to use this as a dash cam and record?

[@kristy5903]

hello! where is switch and button ? give me link please

[@michael_wellington]

Hello everyone, what kind of relais is he using? Has anyone got a link? Thanks for support.

[@seba123321]

What about the dirt which will stick to that camera. Do you plan do add windshield fluid line to clean that camera? Can you post exact model number of that cool flashlight?

[@mrfixpl]

Well, not sure how to keep it clean yet. Washer or maybe "invisible wiper" wax? Light is viltrox rb08

[@sirnobbsalot7531]

Would be interesting to see if you could mount a rear pop out camera badge in the front badge. That way it would generate the lines and be kept clean when hidden

[@mrfixpl]

Image would be mirrored

[@sirnobbsalot7531]

What about the mechanisms itself using a different camera . Just a thought. Great project. Love the videos

[@derrickedwards5736]

@@sirnobbsalot7531 I've tried this it cant work as there is not enough room behind the front grill for the flipout mechanism. The front badge and rear badge are also different sizes.

[@williamhill6473]

What about using the gte front badge as that does flip out from the front

[@mazharxx]

Question: Audi Q7 has cameras in the front back and under the L/R mirrors. Is there a way to program them also work as security cameras that can record? Something like the sentri mode in Tesla?

[@mrfixpl]

That would be could, wouldn't it? Sadly parking system in Q7 does not support such thing as far as I know.

[@mazharxx]

@@mrfixpl I see. Thanks. Tesla is seriously a smart car in comparison :) wish Audi folks could think about it.

[@maciejkuzma8186]

Który silnik z 2.0 TDI jest wart uwagi ? Czy może lepiej 1.6tdi ?

[@mrfixpl]

Jeżeli chodzi o diesle w Golfie MK7 (i innych autach z platformy MQB) to jest to jedna rodzina, czyli EA288. Oczywiście są różne pojemności (1.6 i 2.0), różne wersje mocy, różny osprzęt (jest nawet biturbo), ale generacja jest ta sama. I wydaje mi się, że to bardzo udana konstrukcja.

[@DalvanBoy]

Colleague I'm in need of some help I need to pop the key to connect the face-to-face golf I saw some kits but I don't know how to install you would have a way to help me with some link from someone manual to install or some video of you that you have already made thank you and I follow you I like your work.

[@mariusz3292]

Cześć. W dalszym ciągu zastanawiam się czy kamera że "znaczka" golf 7 będzie pasować do Tourana z 2018 roku

[@mrfixpl]

Musimy się kiedyś spotkać i zobaczyć jak masz montowany znaczek i ile tam jest miejsca.

[@michael_wellington]

Hello friends, can someone tell if it is possible to use such front camera for the Lane Assist in VW?

[@mrfixpl]

No. Lane Assist requires original camera in the windscreen, properly coded and calibrated.
