Hello all, having an issue with my front radar on a 2018 GTI. after driving for a few miles, the front sensor error will appear on the cluster saying "no view". If I turn it off then back on it will go away and then repeat after driving. In the time when it's working, it'll show the 2 cars with the exclamation mark when I'm driving close to someone. Horizontal misalignment is -0.157, fast algorithm is -0.385 and vertical deadjustment is 1.354. I've taken off the badge, cleaned the sensor and front and back of the badge. Any help would be appreciated

Because it needs to be adjusted or its not seated. Adjust both to 0.0 and all will be well.

Are you sure? "Limited Visibility" aren't usually due to an alignment problem, are they?

The fact that the vertical measurement is 1.354 I could see that being an issue. IIRC any reading past +/- 1.2 degrees calls for an adjustment. Both planes need to be as close or at 0.0 as possible. I also have a strange suspicion that this sensor is possibly not properly seated in the brackets and or engagement anchors.

If the sensor has movement during vehicle operation it will set a limited visibility fault. Just like the warning goes away after a key cycle because the sensor usually does a relearn after a key cycle where it's trying to adjust/compensate for the difference for the next 11 or so miles.

Sorry for the delayed response, but I finally had a chance today to mess with it some more. I took off the emblem again and made sure the sensor is clipped on correctly. there isn't any sort of movement with it. I reset values, drove it some more, and the same no camera view fault came back. current readings are: misalign horiz: -0.009, misalign horiz fast algorithm: -0.384, and vertical deadjustment -0.006

How was the sensor calibrated after the adjustment? You do realize you have to tell the module that it was adjusted so it can learn the position. I have a feeling this may be the case.

The way I saw on a different post was I went to channel 13, entered security access code, went to adaptation, then changed all the values of the following to 0
("IDE11924-MAS13427","0.00")
("IDE11924-MAS13428","0.00")
("IDE11924-MAS13429","0.00")
("IDE11924-MAS13430","0.00")
("IDE08936","0.00")
("IDE09906","0.00")

I get that but did you change the correct channels or did we guess?

correct channel. This is the same way I did it on a previous GTI and it worked

Or those "Brackets" and "Anchors" have had a beating ??

Was the previous GTI also a 2018 model, and were the hardware & software versions of module #13 the same?

Problem has been fixed. For the heck of it, I tried driving without the emblem attached. Worked perfectly fine. Swapped a friend's emblem with mine, my car worked, his did not. Bought a new emblem from the dealer and we are back in business. Very strange for that to be the cause randomly as it was never an issue.

Was it ceramic coated by any chance?
