    Has anyone run this front cam with AP 2.5 and MCU 2? Going in for the MCU 2 upgrade and wondering if I should keep everything wired or pull it. Still love the front cam view though!

    I had the 360-degree camera setup on my MCU1/AP2 car when I went in for the MCU2/AP3 upgrade including the HDMI switch. I can't speak to AP 2.5 but the wiring between AP2 and AP3 was in very different locations. The SC I'm sure was surprised when they saw my extra wiring. They had no specs but gave it a shot but unfortunately wrong. Even the OEM backup cam wasn't working when I picked it up, but I don't blame them. I just had to figure out how to re-wire.

    In retrospect I would have probably left the wires installed but loose, leaving a quick note for the tech to just let them be. Wire it back to OEM specs and then put it back together yourself.

    YMMV. With just a front cam your setup might be simpler than mine. My problem was going from AP3 to the 360-switch (with extra cams), then to HDMI switch, then to the MCU. I may have pics around if you get tangled up.

    If/When I have my MCU worked on the camera is being disconnected first. I will leave the wiring in place though.

    I don't trust them using it as an excuse for why the MCU failed etc and don't need the extra hassle of fighting them about something not working correctly.
