So I'm putting it here as well cause it may help others too.
As some of you may know our Leons can be fitted with the OEM high rearview camera (like the Golf, the Passat, the A3, the Octavia etc) despite the fact that this was never a factory option. Only problem up to now was the calibration of the camera and the fault that would appear in case of a scan with any of the popular diagnostic tools like VCDS, OBD11, VCP, ODIS etc. That would happen because there is no parameter file for this camera (5Q0980556B) with the correct measurements for the Leon and so ODIS could not calibrate it successfully. Only way is to trick ODIS to think that the camera is mounted on another model for which the camera is a factory option. In our case this model is Skoda Octavia 2017 hatchback.
Mandatory tools:
Original VCP & ODIS Service (in my case 5.1.6)
Optional tool:
VCDS
And it goes like this:
And voila
- We upload Octavia III hatchback parameters with the VCP
- We manually select in ODIS --> Octavia 2018
- Select the camera as 6C and not 006C which is the Top View camera (if someone needs help with that PM me)
- Place the VAS6350 board 1300mm from the rear axle and a bit off center to the left of the camera
- Begin the calibration procedure by putting the gear selector to R and then giving these measurements:
- 600mm camera height (that is actual height for a Leon Cupra with stock suspension)
- 1340mm distance from rear axle (a bit fake in order to trick ODIS)
- Board height is up to you, in my case it was 10mm since I have the VAS stuck on a cardboard
- Let the procedure begin the countdown, it should take less than 20"

Feel free to let your retrofitters know and avoid European shops for this. Don't make the same mistake I made by paying 350€ for the same exact kit as this...

Enjoy!
Thanks! I've done it today and it worked like a charm. Finally I get rid of the calibration error in vcds.
