Audi/VW ACC, Lane assist: No camera vision Free fix! (code C1107)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- After a LOT of research I may have found a semi-permanent to possibly longer term fix for the "Video Cable for Image Processing
C1107 02 [009] - Signal Failure" code we are all having.
This is applicable to Audi A6/A7 (C7 & C7.5), Q5, Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, Porsche Cayenne (possibly Macan as well) and maybe more.
This method would have not been possible without the video by @rossmanngroup made many years ago explaining the chip heating process.
I strongly recommend watching it prior to carrying out this repair at your own risks.
• Reballing flip chip GP...
As mentionned in the video please make sure to do the following FIRST prior to messing with your camera:
1-SCAN YOUR CAR AND GET YOUR ERROR CODES!
2-check your fuses (A7 & A11 on driver side fusebox)
3- Test cable continuity with a multimeter from the camera(J852) to the imaging module(J851) under the passenger side carpet.
4- If cable is not bad, proceed with the work explained in my video at your own risk.
This was a quick video I made in order to test the theory. Please excuse the poor video edit and some improper terms I may have said during this video. Documenting and explaining all of this was a very last minute decision.

Audi a6 c7 2012,after vcds scanner I took apart the whole car for the fault. Found water marks in right side where is the image module,but no fix. At about 10pm,drinking a beer after a day of work I found your video. Amtech flux,380 degrees and my car is back to life again. I can’t remember the faults but you are the best! Cheers mate 🍺🍺🍺
I just spent the whole weekend pulling my wife's car apart, shark fins roof lining door sills roof consoles numerous panels to try diagnose and rule out EVERYTHING I had read on threads. I was at my witts end, the final thing I was going to tackle was the front radar sensors.
I sat down inside with a beer to watch the footy and somehow came across this video. I tried with a small blowtorch first couldn't control the heat input to well, re-fitted and got the dreaded ding ding 😢 went down the street and bought a heat gun, followed the steps precisely, re-fitted and OH MY GOSH IT HAS WORKED 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 what an absolute legend!
Great video much appreciated as the part is not available at the moment in Europe and I've been waiting for 7 months for this part from main dealer.so mine is fixed with this procedure at no cost,again great vid
Thank you! Bought an A7 and hot a discount because ACC and Brake Assist were broken. Followed this, but did 300 at 3 minutes and put an insane amount of aluminum around it.. worked like a charm!
What should I say?! Thank you so much!!! I just saw your video and thought „so ok let’s remove the camera and look into it“
While I standing there with my heat gun I was smiling to my self and my thoughts were „I will heat it up for a few minutes but I am sure I am not so lucky to fix the problem with that method“
Anyway I heated it up for 7 minutes, then reassembled everything and started my VCDS to erase the fault codes.
Afterwards I did a testdrive and everything worked well!!! This is so amazing!!! This was the most money saving repair in such a short time I ever did. And believe me I do everything on my own on my cars since 20 years!
Thank you again and very best regards from Germany 😃
I had the EXACT same thought as you when I first tested this theory while making the video. I ad no idea if it would actually work and told myself the same thing!!"with my luck it will not work"🤣
Glad I could help!!!😃
Look man you just saved me almost 3k$ I followed your instructions and now everything works for the first time since I’ve owned the car. I Love you man, thank you so much!
Happy to hear I could help😊
@@Sotam123u should charge🎉🎉
@@Denis-gs3gk hahahaha if anyone wants to send me money im fine with that..just glad I am able to help everyone with my findings!
This fix just saved me $2500! Thanks!!! This totally worked. I recommend holding the heat gun about 3 inches above the chip and changing it to different angles as you heat. It’s the best way to evenly heat the surface.
Just did this and it worked. I only had a warrior heat gun from harbor freight and put it on setting 1 for 3 minutes. Then let set until cool to the touch. Reinstalled and worked without ever clearing any codes.
Thanks for posting this video. I followed your steps, and it resolved my problem with my Audi RS-7. It saved me over $3,500.00 at the dealership.
OMG, I just tried today, and it worked. Man you don’t know for how long I’ve been trying to fix this thing. Please try this but with 200 degrees Celsius for about 4 minuts, and the rest is history. You guys don’t have anything to lose, just try it. Thank you again!🥳🥳🥳
Glad I could help!
Need to say thanks so much for this video! I did this today and heated the chip for 7 minutes, reinstalled the camera, and my ACC on my 2012 A7 is now working for the first time in about 2 years. Took my car to Audi recently who told me the part is no longer available and that if I was able to find one the calibration would be $600. Hope everyone that has this issue with their ACC finds out about this and is able to save themselves a lot of headache by doing this.
Glad i could be of help!
I have a 2012 VW Touareg, same looking camera. I followed the same steps as Sotam123 in this video, and presto I now have Adaptive Cruise again. Thankyou so much for posting this video, it saved me at least $3500 here in Australia.
Dude you are the Man! I had this on my 2015 A8L, fixed it following instructions in your video.
At first it didn't work, because I didn't use enough heat. I barely got my heat gun to 200F°. After that I just set it to medium, didn't check temp, and blasted it for 7 minutes, the whole aluminum case got hot to the touch, barely able to hold finger for 3 seconds, went to install it again and was shocked, no warnings came up, and cruise started working, everything was back to normal.
Thank You for making this video!
Glad I could help!!!
I wholeheartedly thank you for the guide that I found on the forum and you saved me from this problem. I set the temperature to 220 degrees Celsius and heated it very close to about half a centimeter for 2.30 minutes and the error disappeared. I couldn't have coped without you. Thank you with respect.
Holy crap! My car has had this problem for two years, just saw this video and re-flowed my chip with hot air and flux, everything works again, I am amazed right now thank you so much
FYI, use flux helps solder melt and flow better
I was getting codes C1107 and C1104
Glad I could help😁
What did you do with the flux?
Absolutely fantastic! I’ve been struggling with this for a year. I did exactly what you did here and worked perfectly! Thanks very much!
Not only did you save me a couple thousand dollars you saved me more! I just used your tutorial to fix BOTH of my 2014 A8 L TDI’s that were exhibiting the same ACC error. I can CONFIRM this fixed my issue on each car. One car was missing cruise control for two years and it started back working today! Many many thanks my friend.
I have the same car 2014 a8l tdi.....but I can't remove the camera!!!....I have the cover off but can't figure out how to get the camera out
Thank you! It works 100%! 7 minutes at 200 degrees C and no more problems with the camera cable line! Just followed your instructions! Thank you saved me thousands of €€€€!
Bought an A6 Quattro one week ago. $12999 and negotiated to 7k because of these issues. Came home, studied your video FOR A WEEK and drummed up enough courage to do it. ALL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAMERA ARE GONE! Lane assist, cruise control, brake assist, and even the rear view MMI vehicle was just a blank black box where the car depiction should've been....ALSO FIXED! A million thanks from Orlando!
I’m in Orlando & have been waiting for a new camera from Audi North for 9 months! I should definitely give this a try!! I just didn’t want to send it off to some rando or buy used & still have the same issue…
holy crap your bargaining skills are insane…nearly half off the cost of the car😂
BROOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH 2 YEARS OF NO CRUISE CONTROL AND YOUR VIDEO FIXED EVERYTHING.
Glad I could help bro🤝
thank you, I paid 300e for the repair, after 7 months the same error. now I did thanks to you! 8 minutes and 200 degrees👍 God bless you
That is Incredible. I have a 2012 Audi A8L with the same C110702 Invalid signal to image processor. I saw the link to this video on an Audi Forum. My God, I did exactly and thought while doing it, there is no way this will work....Guess what I Was 100% Wrong. It worked from first time. I used an infrared temp gun and heat gun at lower level. Average temp 150 to 200 foe 5 minutes and must use the aluminum foil to shield the board. After cooling for 5.minutes then reinstalled (needs some pressure and thin flat head screw driver to unlock the tabs) connected and all the Permanent errors became passive and I deleted them and everything worked...thank You so Much for making this incredible video. THANK YOU!!!!!
Im glad I was able to help!!!
I just did it few min ago 10 min job, 200 Celsius, 3.30 min works perfect, dude grats you just save me! 🎉❤
Sotam, I just completed your process and put the unit back in and it works!!! I hope it stays that way. Unfortunately, some of the plastic tabs broke off on taking the unit out. They were very brittle and easily broke off. But the module is staying in and I have to figure out a way to secure it better. The dealer wanted $2800 and charged me $200 for the diagnostic-which I had to fight to get. By the way I also have a 2014 A7 TDI. Thank you so much for your help.
half hour fix for my 2015 Touareg v6 Lux. I cut a postage stamp hole in a pie tin to use as heat shield and used a heatgun on low for 3.5 minutes.
Glad i could help😃
Gave this a go, I didnt really get much over 100c, around 9 minutes in total including initial warm up, all working again. Great DIY, thanks for sharing!
Icredible! Big Like! after I had a test at a service today, they asked me 200€ to solve the issue on the camera.. then I started searching and I just walked into this video and decided to give it a shot! Thanks a lot, everything works fine now, acc, lane assist, and automatic matrix led! best regards from Italy!
Thanks for posting, took me 3 attempts, went from 212F up to 225F, 5 minutes each time. Back to working!
225 o F ?
Which heat gun you used?
Thanks ! Local electronic repair shop resolder the chip for 10 € and now it works like it should. I hade the same error code as you.
Louis is a great guy. Im excited to try this on the weekend on my A6. Thank you for the video brother!
My audi a6 c7, year 2013, 2.0 tdi... Acc and audi break guard error... New camera in slovenia 650 eur, used 400 eur... I try this with a heat gun for about 2,3 minute and i did it💪💪💪💪💪it works perfect, thank you thank you thank you
Ka mi lahk pomagas ?
Isto težavo imam 😞
This works! My 2013 had the faults on and off, VCDS says no cable signal. Used my heat gun at 400c (lowest setting it had) about 6 inches away for 2 minutes and it's been a week now of working fine!
my hero :))) Audi A6 compétition 2015 saved my ACC + line gard
Привет из Литвы! Спасибо дружище, действительно тема работает, насколько долго будет работать время покажет!
Mein Freund du hast mein Leben gerettet!! Ich hätte niemals gedacht, das es funktioniert. Bei ca: 200°C 7 min. Und der Schinken läuft wieder.. ich danke dir vielmals🎉🎉🎉
Willkommen!
Ich habe es auch gemacht aber bei mir ist der fehler drinen wenn ich das fahrzeug starte aber wenn ich dann den fehler lösche geht die anzeige gelbe für den spurhaltass an.
Aber dann zündung aus und wieder ein funktioniert es wieder nicht
I tried it on A8 D4 and it worked. Thank you very much
This worked for me on a 2012 A8 saved me a bunch of money and hassle
This video saved me thousands of dollars!!! Thank you so much!!!
good sir, thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to figure this one out and went down all the rabbit holes i could find with no success till now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i replaced cable i deactivated the heating for that camera(some said it fixed their issue) swapped 2 front sonar sensors still same issue !
Working for me so far! 🤞 We’ll see how long it lasts. I was hoping it was something like this but I had no idea what to look at first, thanks so much!
Well it worked for 2 weeks then stopped again after 1 day of being parked in the sun. I retried and it’s working again, I left the back off so maybe it will stay cooler… Fingers crossed haha
Stopped working again, this time after 2 days, rung a computer repair place local to me and the repaired it with new solder for $60! 🙌
This DIY worked!!! Thank you, good Sir!
Het werkt!! It’s working!! Erg blij mee! very happy with it!
Thank you, working now, I just needed to verify my diagnosis because it's expensive proper repair, and there's no information how to diagnose this
I have a8l tdi...I have the cover off but can't figure out how to remove the camera
@@AntoineManigan there 2 tabs you need to press with flat screw driver. I had to have another person to help. Press them and slide the camera towards you. It took me forever to figure it out.
I have tried for 4 hours..2 hrs last night and 2 hrs today....I can't get this camera out. I don't see tabs. I have it unplugged buy no tabs to press. I need a video or pics of someone actually removing the camera.
This worked for me, wow such a good idea. Thank you so much!
This is great but I REALLY wish you would have taken video of the chip heating process as you were doing it.
Absolute goat 🙏🏽 you’re a god send saved me so much money
This worked great on an A8 we had in the shop. Thanks!
WORKED!!! Thank you So much!!!! I highly Reccomend this tutorial, you helped us to save some cash.
I can’t believe it now working all..thank you very much 🙏🤝
Can I drive the car without the camera while it is being fixed?
What a legend thanks heaps mate you saved me over 5k Australian dollars
I have 2014 a8l tdi. Cover removed but i cant figure out how to remove the camera. Please help.
Can anyone advise on how to actually remove the unit from the bracket?
it worked, thank you very much for the video
It works!! Thank you man.
it worked, thank you very much for the video
Did this on my C7 S6 and it fixed everything. ACC worked flawlessly for a day and now it's back. Should I redo it, go hotter, just do it for longer? Open to any suggestions, please help.
I tried this twice with 6-8 minutes holding it 1 cm away but again it works. Do you have to erase the codes with a computer first?
Dou have a video on how to remove the Module. I am having a difficult time doing this. Thanks
Well done mate. Thank you
Все заработало, Спасибо. Это было круто
How did you remove the camera please? How exactly is it attached so I don't accidentally break something?
Just did this on my 14 S6 and it works now. For how long tho? Idk. Will heat it up again if it goes out. Thanks!!
got C110702 . is there anyway to be sure its the cam not something else?
Hello, what is exact temp. for heat gun 200°C for 7minutes?
🎉 mulțumesc ptr pont , așa am rezolvat și eu 🥂
Absolutely amazing thank you so much I hope now will last for long time..
save me a lot of money $$$
God bless you
I am so amazed by your mileages wow, after 211464 kilometers, at full tank your car is giving 929km where it already driven 95 km.
What major engine work you have faced or done so far like timing chain or coolant flange replacement the one which is behind front engine cover? And since it is TDI, have you done or faced DPF cleaning? Please share history of this car.
I recently purchased 2016 A7 TDI and after spending enough on parts and doing most of the services on my own, and while driving only highway long distances, my car gives only 720km max. I recently replaced timing chain.
Again pease share your car secrets... lol.
I also mainly do highway driving, i recently got a DPF delete/stage 2 malone tune as my extended emissions warranty from audi was over.
I would get about 800-850 before doing the delete.
I also cleaned the intake pipe between the two throttle bodies twice already..it gets dirty fairly quickly
Hello, you had any other fault codes for ACC, OB-Camera? Or just image procesing code?
Don’t you need camera calibration ?? I took it off and I have a message for calibration ??
Worked ! Thanks so much !
It works !!!!!!!!!! But I tried with 100 C° and it has been not enough then I tried again with 220° for 2 minutes and the problem has gone!!!!!!
Thanks bro this is amazing very helpful video i love it 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Im so disappointed, i did the same it doesn't work, any advise?
Any chance there are instructions on how to remove the cover? Or is it just as simple as using a spudger and a little bit of pressure?
I like to see also the video of this
Every model of audi is different, even if they are using the same camera module. My A8L I had to remove the light pod from the headliner, and I removed the mirror as well, but technically unnecessary, I just did it to have more room.
In New Zealand this camera costs $5000 at the Audi dealer
In America, the camera WAS about $1500 USD but for some reason they’ve just discontinued selling it.
Lol, I hope this work on my car then, definitely don't have 5k spare to fix this🤣
Works!!!! Thanks a lot! :)
It worked for 8 days and today broken again. Do you think repeating the process is worth it?
yes
Thx bro. I made it! 👍
Hello, thanks for video! The only question ist how did you set up your heating gun to 100 Celcius if you only have the on an off switch on it? Thanks a lot!
I explained it in the video
you can buy a heat gun with variable temperature control
I did this and it worked for 1 day. I dont have VCDS, would that make a difference on my VW ?
I do not recommend doing this without having a full scan of your car as mentionned in my video
Hello my friend, I did the same thing as you with 6 minutes on 200 c.
But if I delete the error and then turn on lane assist it works.
But when I turn off the vehicle and start it again it doesn't work again and the same error occurs.
what should I do😢
Hey I have supposedly the same problem - vcds says sensor displaced. I went to Audi to recalibrate it for 400 and the issue is still there
Please watch the complete video (you clearly didnt). You issue is not the same and probably is regarding the radars and not the camera
@@Sotam123 I watched the whole video the sensors are not the problem Audi clearly said the camera is broken.
@@zSkandal do you have vcds in order to scan the car yourself? If you dont have the exact codes i listed its not the problem. There is no calibration that needs to be done. Calibration is only for the radars.
@@Sotam123 I checked it with VCDS from a friend. I don't know the exact error code but the error message was "sensor detached" so I went to Audi - the recalibrated and did a Check on the Audi tester afterwards to say that my camera in the windshield is broken. So something clearly doesn't add up here.
Wow. Amazing video. My english is bad but, im gonna coment. I hace the same problem. I cánt reset de errors code in odis. I check the same cable with multimeter, the original is good. I get other cable and the same problem. Now im going to do that amigo. Just i ask youis to hard to get out the camera?. Thx for this video
You will see the camera is wedged into tge plastic windshield plate. If you pay attention to the 4 tabs on the camera housing you will see that you need to pull toward you and downwards slightly..
Its hard to explain but if you look at the 4 mounting tabs you will understand what i mean. 👍
@@Sotam123 thx for your answer. I comment something... i did it like your video and i think.. fix it. No showing in the screen. I had the same problem with my hdmi board in my receiver.. but. I thibk fix it and thx so much for your video. Thats amazing. Gracias otra vez y saludos. Youre man 👍
thx, good job :)
Thx, works for me
This is not fix.
To bad.
Promo>SM 😞
Okay so where are all the people this didn’t work for hahaha… yeah no, didn’t work
Did you have 100% exact codes and symptoms as described in my video? Did you do a autoscan of all modules on vcds to confirm?
