Thanks atzebmw - much appreciated! I'll have another try with the new CAFD file and will let you know how I get on.

RE: TRSVC - It was a new one that I purchased a year or two ago, but I've only just gotten around to fitting it. I'll double-check all the wiring in the next couple of days and will report back - but I have seen a couple of other members say that the module has appeared after some time (a few hours/a day), so I'll see if the module appears when reading ECU/SVT in E-sys.

Cheers!

Older E-Sys can use newer PSdZData but newer E-Sys can't necessarily use older PSdZData.

To a limited extent.
At the latest when he wants to assign a new CAFD, he will run into problems.

For example E-Sys 3.26 + psdzdata 11_2020

Yes, correct. Works fine for Coding, but for Injecting CAFD (Detect CAF for SWE) and Flashing ECU's with >= v.4.17.20 PSdZData it requires using newer E-Sys 3.30.0 or higher.

Control Unit: There are several part #'s available based on different production times on the modules. As far as I can tell, they are interchangeable, I will verify this once my cable arrives and I complete the retrofit. If you order it new, you should get the newest one. Part #'s(listed from oldest to newest): 66539267915, 66539282420, 66539288002, 66539302256.

Coding(if you already have a laptop/software and cable) should be nothing more than a VO code to add option 3AG. Again, once I complete my retrofit, I will post an update with how mine went. If anyone has any questions about finding or ordering parts, please feel free to PM me.

hello everyone I would like to install the rear view camera on my f20 lci 2016 ...
I would like to install it in the trunk but I do not know which cable to use!
I have read that many have mounted the 61122154696 and putting the control unit in the trunk you can mount.
I also read of another who has mounted the categorical 61122183660!
Can I tell the difference?
the first costs 270 € while the second 43 € in bmw!
they are both for f10 but surely it can be adapted to the f20 as it is even shorter!
I hope that some of you know how to help me! the rest of the parts already know which ones to take ... thanks

Hi all,

Is it possible to retrofit a reverse camera to a 2013 F30 with business nav?

the dealer where i bought my car installed an oem reverse camera, after 5yrs it begin affecting the idrive monitor (flickering), the service advisor said it is because of the reverse camera module
anyone got the same issue?

[F332014irl]

For anybody with an F33 - you need a little more cable to complete the retrofit - due to our boot compartments raising up and out of the car - I used the BMW retrofit kit and purchased a shorter 1.5 meter cable from China to bridge the gap - worked really well. You will need lots of small black cable ties to go around the lifting frame of the boot compartment. Good luck!

Does camera kit from F30 fit to F31?

[deliciouscars]

Hello, I have retrofitted the evo and now the camera unfortunately no longer works. Is an original camera and before I had the cic in it. Does anyone have the pinout for this? Drive an F01 are the same connections as the f10

From CIC to NBT or NBTEvo the connector has changed and the pin assignment.

Thank you. I can remove the pin assignment from the quadlock and simply change it into the hu_Nbt

do i need to order 61131383776 if i buy this harness kit 61122360176 ?

Also, is this harness kit 61122360176 available to order from USA dealer?

what type of nut for this screw?

To the complete retrofit kit belongs still the camera, the button and so on.
But if you already have all parts except the cable set, you can order this at your BMW-dealer by this part number.

anyone know the part number for the HSD cable (From camera to camera module) - 6m length?

i want to buy the f10 retrofit kit, but i want to place the module at the right place

i tried using your part number, but very expensive at $300 while the f10 is only $100s

thank you

Great write up buddy. I just did my retrofit this Saturday on my 2014 320i and it works great

The 2013 car I purchased came with PDC and Navigation but did not have a backup cam. Initially I thought the backup cam wasn’t important, but after a couple months of ownership, I began to have too many occasions where I said to myself, why didn’t I get it….

So, after some research I found Bimmer-tech and was pleased to see they offered an OEM retrofit kit for the backup camera. After some emailing with Patryk @ Bimmer-tech, he confirmed my options would make this a relatively painless install. And for the most part, it was!

First, for an easy install and proper compatibility, you’ll need the following two options:

1) iDrive Navigation
2) Park Distance Control (rear only is OK)

A week later a box arrived via DHL containing the following items:

OEM camera module (and OEM mounting screw)
OEM trunk handle with OEM camera pre-installed
Wiring harness and camera cable
ODBII cable with RJ45 on other end to connect to computer for programming
OEM wire taps for 3 of the wires (yes, BMW makes wire taps for repair purposes)
Several plastic wire ties
Install manual

After reading through the manual, and a couple clarification emails with Bimmer-tech, I felt I was ready to tackle this project. First thing was to follow the advice from Patryk (and the manual) and make certain sure I had the following tools:
#2 Philips screwdriver, torx driver with 3 bit sizes, 10mm socket wrench, wire cutters (to trim the wire ties), a plastic poking tool (to help insert the pins into the factory harnesses), and a set of plastic trim removal tools. Definitely be sure to get trim removal tools!

The retrofit required I remove the following interior parts from car:

Under dash panel
Front/rear door floor sill trim
B pillar lower trim
Rear seat shoulder bolster trim
Trunk trim on right side
Trunk floor trim
Trunk lid trim
Dash trim
A/C and radio/CD trim
iDrive Navigation unit (Nav did not need to be fully removed, just enough to expose the main harness).

Took about 2.5 hours to remove all trim pieces (and about 1 hour to reinstall later). The biggest pain was to remove the OEM trunk release handle. The trunk release handle is held in place with pressure clips. The trouble is the clips are tight and the space for your hands is small. Finally got it after 30 minutes of fiddling.

From there I ran the camera cable starting at the trunk handle hole, through the trunk to the underdash area on driver’s side.

Next, was to run the main harness which starts under the drivers dash (and attaches to the camera module). Three wires go to the iDrive unit. All 3 wires came with the appropriate pins so all I had to do was push them into the corresponding holes in the main iDrive connector. Fairly easy once I removed the iDrive unit.

The next two wires went to the communication protocol that allows modules to talk with each other. These wires are tapped using the supplied OEM wire taps and the wires are located along the driver’s floor, in a harness that runs to the driver seat. Not terribly difficult since the manual described the correct wire colors and those were easy to find in the seat harness.

Last two wires were +12V and GND. GND was a short run that ran behind the carpet to the drivers side underdash lamp. Here I used a supplied OEM tap to connect the camera GND to the lamp GND. Easy. The +12V wire was run along the floor, next to the camera cable until I reached the rear fusebox located in the trunk floor. The rear fusebox came with the 5A fuse already installed in the empty fuse port already designed for the camera module. All I had to do was push the pin into the empty slot. It was a tight fit and the plastic push tool helped.

I completed mounting the camera module under the dash (perfect fit) and then returned the iDrive back to the dash and I reinstalled the dash trim.

I then contacted Bimmer-tech and received an email advising me of software to pre-install so they can connect to my car. Requires a Windows PC and Internet connection where your car is located. The software took about 20 minutes to download and install and then I contacted Bimmer-tech to connect. Once they contacted me, the programmer took over and programmed my car. Took about 1 hour to program and test.

The OEM camera works the same as if it was factory installed. I compared to a friend’s car that has a factory installed rear camera and indeed this one works the same. Everything is there, parking aid lines, PDC obstructions shown onscreen, and all controls in iDrive.

The best part about the rear cam is that the video image appears almost immediately after starting car and placing car into Reverse. For anyone with CIC iDrive this will be a huge plus since the iDrive typically takes up to 20 seconds to startup and show the PDC image.

I highly recommend anyone with iDrive Navigation and PDC (rear is OK) to consider the rear camera retrofit. You won’t be disappointed. Based on my research Bimmer-tech is the only vendor offering a true OEM solution. And Patryk and his programmer were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Bimmer-tech.

BTW, Bimmer-tech also offers a non OEM retrofit which is less $ and also works with cars lacking PDC. I cannot comment on this kit as I have no experience. Just saw it on their website and briefly discussed with Patryk.

Here's some pics from the kit and the final view in iDrive.
