360 CAM retrofit V60
#9
I can't believe you did this hahaha, swapped all them parts in and the WAM. But I already told you as much ;-)

You bring up a good concept to know with the Volvo, I have not seen this but maybe other mfrs do it too. Sometimes Volvo builds the car with "cheaper parts" that aren't available as service parts. It's common to try to look at "replacement parts" catalog and see "360 cam car has same door harnesses as the rear-cam only car, great!" but then you get into your door and the wires are not there! That is because Volvo built your car without wiring it doesn't need, save a few cents on the parts. But the replacement parts, will be the one with "all the wires" so Volvo only has to carry a single part in the catalog for all the cars. Just a good thing to know, there are multiple examples of this, even with modules (which I will show later, when I complete getting the bendy headlight swap working).

Cam calibration will be added. I needed to work out the process. Many other cars have a complicated procedure of putting special patterned mats around the car and running a calibration that works off those precisely placed mats. Turns out the Volvo does not, it's basically a "start calibration and drive the car" thing.

I can send over a manual process to run through if anyone would like to. I built the capability into OrBit to send raw commands to ECUs so that things like this can be tested before a complete process is developed. 

BeachBoy, I found some specific info about the grille swap, you can still calibrate the 360 cam, but the skew of the view will not be corrected for the later grille with the earlier car. It may be a hardware or software difference, something in the WAM beyond calibration that corrects for the lens fisheye and general positioning, that is what I suspect anyways. I know you have swapped the WAM to a later one (or correct me if I am wrong?). Swapping the WAM you should def go through the camera learn/calibration. We don't know the effects of the swapped WAM yet, maybe its great with the matching later cam if you run through calibration.

The opinion of my contact that has swapped many of the newer grilles on to the older cars...he said the camera is then a little off but not enough to matter much, customers don't care, so not a problem he was keen on solving. Just one opinion though ;-)
