Ridiculous there isn't a recall for this issue still.

Mine finally ended up resolved after I initiated a buyback. I already had my IPMA replaced twice. The final time they replaced the camera and the cables...so the errors, for me at least, were definitely either camera or cable related.

How do you initiate a buyback? I love my car, but the lack of cruise control working at this point is starting to be more than a minor frustration. I am about to take it to the dealer yet again... and will be out my little smurfette for minimum of a week, probably two... and have to drive my wrangler that gets 13mpg in the city

Has anyone replaced the cable by themselves?

I have R&R’d them but not replaced them with new. My only reason to mess with them was to reposition them in case that was the issue. Since they did need replacing, I had a dealer do it under warranty. ?‍?

I'll add this to my list as mine has become more flakey and failing just minutes after starting the drive.

It would be great if in the next week you could do it and document the whole thing for me.

How do I know which cable from the TSB I need for my car? I have a first edition.

Oh no, this goes to the dealer. I don't remember buying a $50k+ project car, but my wife keeps telling me I did. The list is to annoy the dealership with.

Maybe I need to hope @markboris has the issue so I can get some real help. Just kidding of course.

Sorry Aaron, I've never had an issue with my cameras.

Just had this fixed if anyone has questions

Here is my post from the other thread:


I did it myself, by my observation, the original front camera cable is in a state of tension, and if you follow each of the cables they are subject to a number of sharp twists. Furthermore, the instructions indicate that only some cars will have the APIM jumper, but near as I can tell they all will since our car doesn't have BC yet still had the jumper. Also, I used split loom cables under the dash.

I was quoted $2800 at dealership to fix this issue, they said main part of the cost is a processor that must be replaced (my issue is permanent now, no intermitted). Would you agree with it?

wow, good job!
explains why the dealers charge $2800 to replace.... probably $200 in matls, and the rest is labor!
