Tiguan Reverse Camera looks Off Angle - is this the same for others ?

What problem did you have with the 360 camera's that required them to be re-calibrated ?

Did they do a good job and fix all the 360 camera issues ?

Can I ask which dealer in VIC it was ?

The front and rear images didn't quite line up with the sides when parked against a kerb or in a parking space.

Regarding the re-calibration, they did an OK job. The end result isn't perfect, but it's good enough. They initially wanted to charge me full price ($300), despite still being under warranty, as they claim the skewed image was due to having the car lowered (it was lowered 18+ months ago and only became skewed very recently). As such, they agreed to charge me $100 instead. So for a $100 job, I'm satisfied.

It was with Waverley VW. They're an OK bunch, but I wouldn't recommend them, nor would I recommend you steer clear. They're just there.

Looks like I'll be taking my Tig in to get the re-calibration done too. This is what the view looks like. Passenger side is ok. Drivers side is out of alignment.

Yep, the right drivers side is quite out of alignment.

How does VW get this so wrong straight out of the factory ?

Probably not wrong from factory, more like the dealership has needed to repair the vehicle prior to delivery - something like removing the passenger mirror to repair, and didn't notice it out of calibration.

You would be surprise to know how many brand new cars clock up their first km's going to a panel beater.

Can you post a picture of the 360 camera screen after it has been re-calibrated to see what isn't perfect ?

So as you can see, the inside edge of the kerb is aligned, but immediately after that it’s skewed out laterally. Previously even the inside edge wasn’t aligned.

Thanks mate. Intersting the tech on VW 360 cameras seems so difficult to get right.

No worries.

Agreed. The fact that apparently different dealers yield different results is the most surprising.

As part of the warranty repair to the front bumper, they have to re-calibrate the radar cruise control and 360 camera so finally go this issue fixed and cameras are now aligned
