I've got the Top View and Surround view working. I purchased the parts to install the side view, but im not sure if I want to install it or not...I never used it much on previous cars and its a permanent modification to the car.
Anyway, I can confirm that the system works perfectly well without the side cameras. I installed the reverse and top cameras fully, and then temporarily connected the side view cameras. I then used Protool to perform the calibration. After removing the side cameras there are errors logged - but they arn't presented to the driver. Quote:

Yea I’ve done the same but worried about adding the side view cameras. Cutting the bumper as well, I have the parts but the cameras I have are really the top view ones I presume they will work ok. From what I understand the lenses on the top view are different to the side view ones something to do with the field of view. I don’t suppose anyone knows if I will get any errors.

During my testing I hot-swapped the cameras around. All cameras worked in every position I tried.
I suspect without the correct cameras it wont be of any use. The display would be distorted. I cant speak to errors as i had errors at that stage as I hadn't performed the calibration. Quote:

Having completed this retofit - using the DIY info on this tread - I can confirm everything works perfectly. I had a couple of problem area 1. connecting the video cable from wing mirror to body of the car - if you are not getting picture - try rotating the cable - the connection is in 1/4s - I imagined it as the face of a clock - upon rotation one cable around I found the video (was upside down and needed to configure with coding) 2. to keep costs low - I used my mirror base plate - cutting out the hole to take the camera - I used a flat wood drill bit - worked really well - the markings are already there you just have to find the centre and off you go. Best of luck to anybody completing this - it's really handy for parking and city driving to avoid cyclists - helps with blind spots IMO

cable code
has anyone attempted to order a different cable wiring configuration for the custom door cable to avoid needing to modify and rotate the cables which attach to the doors?
Roxor uses a pin chart of “1-4, 2-3, 3-2, 4-1 If so what is the correct pin assignment? i'm guessing there would then be 2 different assignments. for left and right doors. |

The module has 5 coloured connections, and the w hsd cables have matching colours connectors. Top The 5 connections are: Left, Top Right, Side Left, Side Right, Rear The 5 cables are different lengths - to reach the correct location in the car. They have different colours - do make the connections at the module easy to make BUT they are interchangeable technically speaking |

The blue cable is the one for the rear.
I used this kit to obtain the cable: (Part 66212361833) https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...i/66212361833/ It contained the full reversing camera retrofit |

I bought everyting as new and there was a little suprise i really did not expect. I do not need any door wiring harness for my next retrofit, Comfort Access. When you buy door wiring harnesses for Surround View, they are also ready for Comfort Access. That was a big relief for me.

Hi all,
unfortunately I crashed my F30 and destroyed my front bumper with 2 side cameras. I've rebought them but now I need the cables that were cut in the crash. I don't need all the 61119281258 set of cables (I am not sure what is in there, anyway) that is very expensive. what cables and where can I buy? I think it's a 4 pin HSD female-male right? what lenght do I need? thanks to all who will help me. |

update... I only need one (left cable) of the side camera cables, the other one has survived.
My question is if it's possible to find only that cable alone, with the correct bmw connector (with the sealing rubber etc.) |
