you'll at least need to do some coding to get the feature booted up, and unless you're already a coder (with Reingold), that, you'll have to pay for at retail pricing.

I found this for the F30 retrofit, which should be substantially similar to the F12 retrofit. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1130598

You should email bimmertech at this point. I'm not sure if it's as simple as getting the 2 cameras and then the coding. You can at least go on realOEM and grab the p/n for the cameras and the housing, but I'm not sure if more ECU or idrive related parts would be needed. The F30 retrofit says it needs a special control unit. Maybe they'll help you with the P/Ns and you source the parts. Not sure what will be in it for them unless you pay them for the coding.
