You likely have a lane keep camera. The glass itself can be replaced without special tools, but the lane keep system needs to be”relearn” its new mounting position.
That recalibration requires some additional hardware.
- gumby 3y agoThere is also electronics (not just simple wire antenna) embedded in the glass. I have no idea what it's for.
- eternityforest 3y agoIs that really necessary though? Can't it be attached to the roof in a fixed position? Or automatically learn it's position by looking at the hood? Or let the driver do it themselves with a "Drag the image till the lane markings match" kind of thing?
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoIf it's attached to the car or glass, a simple adhesive template could facilitate precise positioning for reinstallation.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoNormally it’s on the underside of the glass. It’s essentially impossible to remount in the exact same position. I noticed two issues when I had to have my wind screen replaced: * the curvature is slightly different on the new glass. Unfortunately, for me this put the heads up display at a slightly different position and I seat too high for it. * glass has variation in thickness. This can cause visual distortion. Further, when you’re replacing a windscreen you cannot guarantee the existing windscreen has the camera in the correct position. After all, if you’re replacing the windscreen, it’s probably damaged.
