next step is to crack the signal from the repeater cameras. But so far it's not going so well, the decoder board still has some technical problemAwesome @BearBu what is the next step?
Tommy I'd like to propose a question to you.
I have an early car no autopilot. Suppose I were to buy Tesla cameras left and right I am talkin about the cameras from Tesla the ones they install I would have the cameras that mount nicely into my fender. I could then run the wire to your interface box and have rear left and right Tesla cameras and then come up with some camera for the front.
Let me know what you think if this might be possible.
I am hoping to do the exact same thing. I have already installed the fender cameras in my model S. Now I’m just waiting on the interface hardware to be completed. Hopefully Tommy can get it finished and working properly in the near future. I can’t wait to have blind spot cameras.
I'm wondering how the cameras fit and where you got them from did you purchase them directly from Tesla or on eBay. If I can get the cameras I'm thinking of plugging it into the rear Tesla input just to see what happens if we get a picture
Hi Akikiki,
Cannot use the repeater camera (AP2.0 and +) because the signal is different...it's getting complicated to decode the LVDS signal from repeater cameras. Maybe I will make a stand-alone decoder board for repeater camera / B-pillar camera later for fun.

I’m interested in same function as you, @Jillmark99, have already procured side repeaters from my local body shop.They fit 100% perfect in my model S. I bought them on eBay. The cameras were from a 2018 Model 3
I’m just waiting on Tommy to finish up the system. My fender cameras have been install for months. I more so want it for blind spot when driving and have the fender cameras come on when I turn on my signal.I’m interested in same function as you, @Jillmark99, have already procured side repeaters from my local body shop.
Did you install yourself, and was it simple pop-out-in procedure, or a complex dismantling process?I’m just waiting on Tommy to finish up the system. My fender cameras have been install for months.

That's great news, thanks for the update Tommy!sorry for the belated update.
development update:
- decoded the video signal from repeater camera yesterday. As far as I know that all cameras use the same CMOS sensor, which means the decoder board can decode the b-pillar camera and other cameras too
- the image color, quality is not right, need further fine-tune
- next step is to do the image fine-tune and create a FPDLink bridge between the camera and AP board (that's the most difficult technical issue needed to be solved), hope we can make solve it soon!

It’s simple to replace them. Less than 5 minutes per fender. Pop out the old ones and pop in the new ones.Did you install yourself, and was it simple pop-out-in procedure, or a complex dismantling process?

Just reach in behind through the wheel well inner fender and pop it out. It’s really simple.Did you have to access anything behind the fender? Or is it just a pop out the bottom part first and then pull it out?
