As per title, does anyone have the calibration values for calibrating the reverse camera on the ST facelift?
Got both OBDeleven and VCP, just need the values to input and finally clear the "basic settings not carried out" fault code - all working absolutely perfectly, just this recurring fault code.
Cannot calibrate the system as All the measurements are at present blank
Many thanks

You cannot calibrate it properly without using incorrect values, as the high line camera was never offered from the factory for the mk3 Leon

This means there isn’t a suitable dataset available that will accept the measured values
So is there any dataset available that would just clear the no basic settings error on scans? Does changing values actually alter the camera image on screen?

You can use an incorrect dataset with the wrong values to clear the errors
Yes the image usually changes after calibration, however in this case due to the values used it'll never be anywhere near accurate.
End of the day I don't use the lines on screen, just the image - tried a set of values from Octavia 3 as found in a Golf 7.5 forum, but VCP won't calibrate because of a malfunction error - but no issues seen in the working of the camera. Can you suggest what might be wrong? No other DTCs anywhere in the car except for the reverse camera no basic settings. Thanks

Which Software Version? OEM vcp?
Fully updated with latest version 8.4.1 from VCP website, full genuine licence valid until April 2026, windows 11 pro laptop
All diagnostic systems (VCDS, VCP, Carista and OBDeleven) I've got are fully genuine and with valid licences, I do not believe in using anything cloned or otherwise hookie, and would not think of using anything other than genuine on my own or anyone else's cars

OK, a bit more info - I've had another play with OBD11, and yes, it's still not calibrating, but I've found the reason why. And now I need to sort something out.

Using manually entered figures found on a Golf 7.5 forum, which claim to be specific to the Leon ST, it's coming back every time with the calibration failing because of a malfunction. Further investigation has revealed this malfunction is listed as "failed to recognise calibration panels 1 and 2".

First of all, what does this mean? and secondly, what settings can be changed to sort this out?

Cam 0 Transversal position front axle - 3091mm (measurement front axle to camera - wheelbase 2636mm + measurement B in diagram)
Cam 0 Transversal position rear axle - 1052mm (measurement rear axle to camera - measurement B in diagram)
Cam 0 Changing default data ground to camera Z - 550mm (measurement between ground and camera)
Cam 0 Changing default ground to wheel arch z - 670mm (measurement ground to highest point of rear wheel arch)
Cam 0 Fixed value input ground to camera Z - 550mm (measurement between ground and camera)
Cam 0 Fixed value ground to wheel arch Z - 670mm (measurement ground to highest point of wheelarch)
Cam 0 Markersize - Full size
Cam 0 X direction of marker red ribbon - 1600mm (distance from rear bumper where red line on screen required)
Cam 0 Y direction of marker - 30mm (offset from centre to where camera is mounted)
Cam 0 division counts horizontal (-32737 or -32878 ...only -32878 seems to work)
Cam 0 division counts vertical (-32737 or -32878 ...only -32878 seems to work)
Cam 0 Calibration result judgement - all zeroes at present
Cam 0 Calibration binary threshold - 0%

Can someone please take a look at these figures and offer some advice - I realise that there are no specific published figues for the highline camera on the Leon ST - all I want is to get the camera calibrated and clear the fault

Many thanks
