Rvc calibration
- Thread starter chillout1983
- Start date
I have entered the base value of 20000 as per the description on screen however I can't achieve calibration ,I am pretty stumped
Any help appreciated
Any help appreciated
I am using a DIY version of the calibration board made of white 15 mm conti board with a vinyl perimeter of 50mm black tape and black vinyl circles , I am beginning to wonder if it's because my car is an executive and sits 15mm lower from the factory than a normal b7 however it is coded for the lowest camera height
Thank you
Thank you
Should I change the camera height in adaption ?
Might be helpful, I used the PDF calibration to do my MK1 Tuguan.

I keep trying but I just get 0X0004 correction values out of range getting stressed Lol
Any ideas I am totally stumped I must have attempted calibration about 15 times any help appreciated
I had this on my CC several years ago. Calibration would always fail. What I had to do was place chairs around the calibration board with dark blankets over them to put the board in shadow. Calibration worked first time after this.
My presumption was that the camera was seeing reflections on the board from the sun which it didn't like.

Totally stressing no matter what I do I can't get it to calibrate

I had the same trouble calibrating it on my RSQ3. Try moving the calibration board closer to the rear axle. The value on ElsaWin said 1.47 to 1.90 metres, but I could only get it to calibrate if I reduced it to about 1.43m. I also found I had to lift the calibration board up at the back by about 100mm.

Tried that also however I think the distance between the rear axle and the board depends on car models as I checked another b7 and it works out the board was 65mm off the ground and 1925mm from the axel as per manufacture I think I need to find a workshop floor to try again as I spent a day trying.

I think you'll find that the 1.47-1.90m dimension applies to most models. It is certainly the same for a Q3 and A4.
When I said I lifted the back of the board by 100mm, I meant that I tilted it up at the back - not raised the whole thing up. If you look at the photos in the link I posted you will see what I mean.

I see how you mean when you carried out calibration did you have your car in reverse ? gear as mine is a dsg I have it in reverse with the engine off .

Yes, mine is DSG, and yes, I had it in reverse with the engine off but with the ignition on and a battery charger connected. Look at the last page of the thread I linked to - it shows a few other requirements, and the figures I used.
I think I will get the calibration board printed onto paper and try it flat on the ground.

This is the board template I used from another Audi forum:

I had it printed by stressfreeprint.co.uk

I used the link I have already posted and stuck A4 sheets together, worked first time. I was pretty precise with the measuring etc from the wheels.
Having the car in for a service in asked vw to calibrate the camera they were unable to get it calibrated however on collection I spoke to the mechanic and we kinda of wonder if my badly fitted bumper protector is causing the issue as it sticks out . Could this be interfering with the calibration as the red line was on the edge of the bumper.
