Hi BearBu, OUCH !!, that hurts my hand and my foot to drill a hole that big even in the mirror.
I like your idea of designing a decode board so you can use the existing camera. I encourage you to do a poll and see who would like the OEM camera versus add-on/drilled. Even if it requires a wait - more.
Fan of your work. Please keep doing.
And back to your most recent post "the LVDS out from our Quad camera board is actually connected to the LVDS out (black plug) on the APE". To out's connect to each other? Hmmm, is that bi-polar, b-sexual, or bi-outtie. Never heard of two outs going in.
I saw these holes and cameras installed on Artsci Model S you can hardly notice them they look a lot bigger in the pictures than in person they are unnoticeable

The reason why the quad-split board output as LVDS is to make the product to be stand-alone. There are some people doesn't need / want the HDMI Interface Box.
The output of the LVDS cable can be plugged directly to the Rear-camera cable (For Pre-AP, AP1) / AP engine (For AP2.0 +) and it doesn't need the HDMI Interface Box for conversion.

Just wondering if anything new is happening here have you found the camera you're happy with yet BearBu
Been working on other projects (non Tesla) in this week, sorry for not updating in the past week.
The 1st testing prototype board is here and testing now, working on some hardware / software debug / inits.
For the side cameras, still struggling on what type to use, here are some 720p side cameras in the market.

Your case is relatively simple by replacing the repeater camera from the fender turn indicator, it's feasible by adding the decoder board for the repeater camera for your AP1 because there is no standalone APE.
using the factory AP2.5 repeater camera in on the list, just need some time for the decoder board for repeater camera. The quad cam board with drilled camera will launch first. The design of the decoder board for the repeater camera is more time consuming as we are trying to minimize the potential interruption to the original signal to the APE. Also the design of the decoder board (for repeater camera) could cope with all AP versions (from Pre-AP to AP3.0).

This is fantastic, sad I only now found this.
It would be great if AP1 cars could use the AP2 fender cameras instead. Although, the first one you showed (drilled into the mirror) was the best aftermarket solution.
Either way, I'm in.

sorry for the belated update.
The sample prototype board is working fine with the 3 non-Tesla (we call it AHD camera) cameras.
Since some of you guys would like to use the stock fender cameras as for the left/right view. We are now working on the decoder/video conversion board for the fender cameras.
Will try to make some demo videos later.
