Retro fit reverse camera anyone?
I’m a newbie to the forums so hope this thread isn’t elsewhere but I couldn’t find it. I’ve recently got a Dec 2015 M6 GC in the uk and interested in retro fitting the reversing camera. I found a few companies that can help link to the main idrive so it looks like the OEM version but anyone know if it can be set up using the opening boot/trunk lid emblem as if its fitted when new?

Excuse the ignorant question but im still interested in this but from the link above - do they sell the whole kit and im struggling to find someone to fit it. I looked at the BimmerTech Kit but the Uk fitter didnt want to do it - I’ve sctached my rear bumper once already so keen to get it done. Thanks

Fitted cameras front and back
I went ahead and got my local electrical specialist to fit non OEM Front and rear cameras (linked to the iDrive) and really pleased - only £850. He could have fitted the OEM reverse camera (with camera through the boot badge) but he wasn’t sure he could add the front camera (as not sure there is an OEM camera for that) and I wanted both. It came with a remote control if i want to adjust the settings. It works well with the Existing PDC and the 3D yellow/red etc blocks appear when an obstacle appears. You can adjust the settings to show the reversing trajectory lines but im not a fan of those as not sure they mirror the true width of the vehicle so like a clean view. Also for fun you can run the front camera at speed for an extra speed sensation (although it makes my wife feel sick lol).

Wow. well done. And the cameras are so small almost not recognizable. I am very interested in knowing the make as I am looking for a front camera for another car. Is it specific for BMW or also for others.

thanks, I’ll find out the brand from the garage but it’s not BMW specific. It works a treat
