Front Camera Retrofit?

[FlyingPilot2012]

Thanks for the reply! I believe you are right that Volvo never offered these cars with a rear + front camera only setup. It was either no camera, rear camera, or 360. I was hoping that maybe the front + rear was an option in another market that I could activate, but I don't think so. 

I did play around with the 154 FRONT PARKING CAMERA settings and none gave me an option to view a front camera. In fact, the only setting that worked at all was my original setting ("09 - Rear Parking Camera, GEN 2, always activated in reverse"). I only tried a few other Orbit settings but they either removed the camera option in Sensus altogether or greyed out the icon (and nothing would show up in reverse). I am guessing the car is looking for the WAM module, which I don't have. I tried "03 - Parking Camera 360," "04 - Front Parking Camera Accessory" and "07 - Parking Camera Preparation, Front & Rear."

Ultimately it looks like this would require a new wiring harness, the front camera w/ grill, the WAM module, and the side view cameras/associated mirror housings. Definitely not worth the effort for me, at least not right now. I mainly went down this road because of my cracked grill and I thought the camera might be an easy addition .

As for the grill, I was almost certain I would be able to swap the center camera part out with the non-camera portion of my old grill. But the camera mounting is mostly built into the grill itself, and does not remove with the logo. The non-camera logo has a recessed opening on the top and bottom that ends with a honeycomb piece of plastic. The camera grill has the recessed opening on the top, but the bottom has the camera mounting. I could have cut it out and made it work, but I'll just bite the bullet and buy the right one haha.
