You can't do the oem integration kit if you want the front camera. Paypal.

You can view the BimmerTech blog I posted earlier in the thread, it's a good overview.
I can't comment more than generalities since I haven't seen either in person. OEM is twice as much, but will be essentially the same as if you'd had it from the manufacturer. It requires Nav and PDC though. BimmerTech rates it as a 5/5 for quality. Retrofit is half as much, overrides the screen, and doesn't require Nav or PDC. BimmerTech rates the quality as a 4/5, but other members have said good things about the quality. It comes with the added bonus of being able to hook up a front camera or use the SmartView mirroring device. Hope that helps. |

Sasha..Nelson...I am interested in the rear view camera
Mine is a 2015 328i with no navigation or Parking Distance Control ..i assume OEM Rear View Camera Kit is the one for me. Any idea approximately how much "Dealer in US" will charge for installation as i am not a DIY guy Thanks. Arun Last edited by e_arunsid; 10-22-2015 at 09:30 PM.. |

I'd also be interested in the group buy for my car - I have a F30 with nav, no pdc - what would I need to get the rear view camera and the mirroring option?
Also, any installers in the DC/MD/VA area? |

Update:
I spoke with Patryk today and he told me that SmartView is fully compatible with iOS 9 now. They managed to get around the software hurdle. Big thanks to BimmerTech for their hard work! With that taken care of, there's nothing left to wait on, and I'm ready to order. There's a special Halloween promotion going on that ends tomorrow or the day after (BimmerTech website says the 4th, email said the 5th) that's 20% off the rear view camera (and 30% off Sirus retrofit and 10% off anything else). 20% is the same as the group buy, so if everyone is still interested, we can go with the group buy and if only a few people still want it, we can use the Halloween promotion. This thread has been going on for a month, so let's see if we can get the ten people committed. If you're still on the fence, chances are there'll be a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal as well (100% speculation). |

Hi, I would like to jump in and buy SmartView for my 2015 F34. The car doesn't have nav.
I've heard from Patryk that Bimmertech are working on a newer version (i.e. with HD resolution). Is this true? If yes, when can we expect it to be ready and in what regards will it be better than the current verison? |
