Cheaper aftermarket front camera for mesh grill?
I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to Bimmertech's front camera that fits into the M Sport lower mesh grill with a screw mount.
There are countless options for the trunk handle backup camera starting around $20 but I haven't found something that looks like this front camera yet with the screw mount. |

Ebay has many for less than bimmertech and they look exactly the same
You just need to check the specs such as chip used etc. I'm sure bimmertech uses someones else camara (prolly from China also) they sure aren't making their own

I haven't found any on eBay but there are plenty on Ali. This is one I'm currently looking at
https://a.aliexpress.com/_dVlGQc8 However all the ones I've seen have RCA connectors so will require some kind of MMI type box or Android device in the car to work properly. |

Yep, RCA is what I'm looking for, but I'm actually not looking for the grill mount - apparently they don't fit in dual-slat grills
I'm looking for one more like the Bimmertech screw-mount option for the M Sport lower grill https://www.bimmer-tech.net/media/im...1c8f994dd.jpeg |

Yes, they pretty much all have the RCA. On my 2015 I would need a MMI to utilize front camera. If you're buying the bimmertech MMI anyway then u r set
There are other vendors that sell the MMI for cheaper also... Pretty sure he is looking for version of camera that installs in the bottom grill mesh thru one of the honeycomb cutouts with just 1 nut
