Reverse cam experiences ?

DavidSTryk · 07-11-2021, 03:45 PM

Hey guys ..

Best reverse camera out there? Would be nice to have something in a proper resolution and one that would actually also be useful at night..
And is installing it hard on an F34?
Installed one on my previous F31.. took forever, but a fun experience …

I had it somewhere where i posted links to camera i bought and some install tips.

If you can search my posts that i posted ull find it but i can't seem to get page 2 and 3 of my posts just page 1 and page 4. So i assume it will be on page 2 or 3 under my profile and threads that i posted in.

Camera is great very clear picture, static you see its just the way my phone filmed.

Only negative i have to say is i broke my parcel shelf clip by installing parcel shelf on tailgate wrong way round (yes it can be installed that way too and lip facing down pushed on shelf that broke the clips so be carefull.

Also the guidance lines Green ones you in in video is not as wide as my car so i cant adjust them meaning if lines show you can fit in... well you wont haha.

My car didn't come with a reverse cam (poverty package) so I retrofitted a bimmertech MMI camera. I actually prefer it to the OEM reverse cam that I had in my M2. 0 issues in 3 years and looks totally OEM.

I find them well overpriced. All that stuff gets made in china anyway, They order from china and ship from Dubai. Thats where extra cost comes on top. But customer support is top.

The one from Bimmertech is pretty sweet and the customer support is a bonus.
