The aftermarket rear view camera can be retrofitted without the PDC.
However the OEM retrofit kit with dynamic guide lines and obstacle marking requires the PDC. We carry both OEM and aftermarket kits with the best cameras available on the market |

Ok awesome, thanks for the info. Next question is, how tough of an install is it. I'm in Germany and would like to order it but not sure if I can do the install myself.

If you have nav and no PDC you'll want to look at the aftermarket retrofit. http://www.bimmer-tech.net/shop/bmw-f30-2012/park-assist-retrofits/rear-view-camera-retrofit Confirm this with Patryk from Bimmertech. |

i ordered my car with no driver aids because i've never needed them, but i've currently got a 528 loaner with the camera and you can really backup within inches.

I noticed there is a Bimmertech in Denver. I may shoot up there and have this done! I am always scared of warranty issues with BMW though? I have the Nav and no pdc so I would get the cheaper unit. Is it pretty much plug and play or is there a lot of wire cutting and soldering?

They offer a BMW parts only version which requires NaV, and a non oem one that does not.

c3r2z8f30i: Yes, we can retrofit the PDC too.
mtbnole: Yes, Technic is our installer in Ft. Lauderdale 2blu: We have two types of rear view camera kits for the F30. The OEM which is basically the same as factory installed. It requires the Nav and PDC. The other camera kit is not OEM and does not require the NAV/PDC. It also has dynamic parking lines. |

If the car does not have the PDC there are two options: - aftermarket camera kit which works really well or - PDC retrofit and OEM camera retrofit, but this will be pretty expensive |

just to let u guys know I have my backup camera installed w.o navigation; just simply a basic 328i. The whole thing costs me less than 450 bucks (DIY)
No drilling; no programing; no cutting wires. I simply laugh when people say it requires coding :-) |
