Front bumper camera replacement instructions

Hello
does anyone have the instructions to change the front bumper camera(part of the 360 surround, not the lane assist camera that is behind the rear view mirror)?
The housing had initially cracked(probably from a rock chip at highway speeds) and then rain water made quick work of the camera. Now it doesn't work. Without the feed from the front camera the top down 360 view is not working either. Any help is appreciated.

Here you go, and good luck!

You will also need to do the re-aiming of all the cameras per the service manual, but that needs to be done at the dealer......

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you so much for these instructions. Quick question though, is it necessary to remove the bumper or just removing the grill will suffice to get to the camera relay and plug?

If you take off the front grill cover (step 1), you are able to see the back of the grill. But I don't think you can reach inside, to do what you need to do in order to take out the camera (screws, clips etc).

Take off the front grill cover and check it out, but I am pretty sure you need to take off the bumper.

When taking off the front grill cover, please pay attention to the clips that snap into the silver grill part. They are really tight, and you need to be extra careful un-snapping those while you're pulling up the grill cover.
