Front Camera Retrofit?
#11
I said e-mail me man!! J/k BeachBoy ;-)

I think I understand what you are on about now, you swapped the "new" emblem in front (one for the radar sensor badge) and thinking about how to fix the camera skew/angle? It does seem like the camera view "fixing" is probably inside the WAM software, programmed for the expected cameras to generate the proper views. (Side note I kinda think them BMW ones where it "skews" the camera views to show you a view "from outside the car" from "inside the car" are rather neat!!)

Let me know if I got that right. In Volvo, generally any used module, of a type that is not "married" to the car (not VIN locked or part of immobilizer etc.) you should be able to simply swap it in and see what happens! The used module will be loaded with software and should work in the car. Barring any unknowns. But example of this case is the AUD stereo amp, there are settings for the stereo type, but the module itself, as a module in the car, just works in the car when you swap it in.

The possible complications is this can be an module that if you leave it in the car for a dealer visit, will produce and "incompatibility" problem. I don't know this case, but again in the case of a swapped AUD module, it works just fine, even without changing config. But the problem comes when you try to say load a Total Upgrade, VIDA will fail to generate it, with an error "incompatible hardware". If that were the case, you'd be in a position you need to swap that module before any dealer visit or VIDA session. That's easy with the AUD, but I am not sure how that figures on the WAM.
