Alright cool, thank you. It's been a bit so I forgot.
Yeah the black bar. How does one calibrate the camera without going back to the dealer O_O
Ah, well you don't unless you have the equipment to do it yourself like some of us. Minimum cost of equipment for just that would be around $150 if you have a laptop already.
Talk to me. What parts we looking at?
Is the calibration procedure easy in FDRS? I thought there was no way around the front camera showing your grill, especiall on GTs. Are you saying the calibration WILL remove it?
Can you show what you consider a properly calibrated image from a GT front camera? Every GT I have seen posted here has looked exactly the same as mine and ops.

You have to drive around a large flat empty parking lot with lines at 3-4 MPH until it calibrates. Should take about 15 minutes. You want to drive over the lines so it can use them as stitching targets. Calibration will make it look better.
That's pretty much how it should look. You'll see the front bumper and some refections but it's not cropped weird like the OP's. There should be a solid view of your bumper at the bottom. Other examples (not sure if GT or not):Can you show what you consider a properly calibrated image from a GT front camera? Every GT I have seen posted here has looked exactly the same as mine and ops.
To add, I went and took a picture of mine. Op your car is fine and normal, don't worry about it.

That one works but it the software is super sketch. May contain malware.

I would also recommend putting matte tape over your front below the camera during calibration so there aren't reflections off the clear coat. The reflections during calibration cause the weird hovering effect.
