Front Camera Retrofit?
#2
I have thought about this...have not touched it yet. There may be others who have looked more...

I think if you are in to do this..."in for a penny, in for a pound" as x119 might say ;-)

What I know: 360 cam cars have a "WAM" module, rear cam only cars do not have that module. I haven't looked at the wiring differences, what existing wiring may be in the car already, or how feasible it is to add that. I know there is at least a harness needed to be added fo the front cam.

And I have no idea if the system would work with adding the front cam only, not adding all the 360deg cam equipment. Both are going to need you to add the WAM module anyways. I am not aware of any OEM configuration of the SPA built with front/rear cam or available to be accessorized that way. There are some cryptic settings for parking camera but not obvious if there is a setting that covers that scenario exposed in OrBit.

On the S60 grille, the parts are "quasi swappable" between cam and no-cam. I had bought the "wrong" black edition grille and the "no-cam" version was back ordered. I was able to swap parts and make a "no-cam" all-black grille from the two grilles I had. On the S60 though, Volvo only services the entire grille as a single part. So you can't get the parts to swap just the "cam" stuff, but if you were dealing with used parts, you should be able to grab say a damaged grille and swap parts around in the badge area to get what you need.
