Aston Martin DB11 Wing Mirror Camera HY5317683AF HY5317682AF
part numbers HY53-17683-AF (Left) and HY53-17682-AF (Right) refer to the 360° Surround View Cameras integrated into the wing mirrors of the Aston Martin DB11.
These cameras are essential components of the car’s Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), providing the lateral “top-down” view for parking maneuvers.
Technical Specifications
-
Location: Mounted on the underside of the mirror housing.
-
Resolution: High-definition digital feed (LVDS).
-
Angle: Ultra-wide “fisheye” lens.
-
Suffix “AF”: This indicates a later hardware revision. Earlier units (AD/AE) were sometimes prone to moisture ingress; the AF revision features improved environmental sealing.
Common Issues & Failure Symptoms
-
“Blue Screen” or “No Signal”: If the 360° view shows a black or blue box on one side of the center screen, the camera or the wiring harness inside the mirror pivot has likely failed.
-
Foggy/Cloudy Image: Because the cameras are exposed to road spray and debris, the sapphire lens can become pitted or the internal seal can fail, leading to permanent condensation inside the lens.
-
Calibration Errors: If the lines on your 360° view don’t align (e.g., the curb looks “broken” between the front and side views), the camera may have been bumped or the mounting clip has loosened.
Installation & Calibration Requirements
Replacing these cameras is physically straightforward (usually involving removing the mirror glass and the lower plastic “skull cap”), but the software side is critical:
-
Software Handshake: The DB11 uses a Bosch/Daimler-based camera architecture. When a new camera is installed, the Image Processing Module (IPM) must recognize it.
-
Dynamic Calibration: After installation, you must perform a 360° Camera Calibration. This involves placing specific “checkerboard” mats around the car and running the calibration routine via the AMDS (Aston Martin Diagnostic System). Without this, the image will be distorted and the stitching between the four cameras will be misaligned.
