You can get a great OEM style kit for 600 from bimmertech. Put in your vin to see if it’s compatible. Install is a little more then 10 minutes but there is a diy video on YouTube and it’s pretty straight forward.

Unfortunately we have to settle for less then OEM if we want to retro a backup camera. Also anything BMW is going to be expensive, it’s just how it is. |

I believe you need to have a different rear electronics unit to support PDC. On my 2017 model, my REM didn't have the connectors installed. I ended up installing an aftermarket camera without PDC. Than needed no connections to the REM and no drilling.

You would think it would cost less to just have one version of the FEM/REM and the same harnesses throughout the car and just tuck away the extra wires. It seems BMW has the means to adapt the cars to make retrofits like this more difficult. I remember in my E46 installing the OEM alarm was just a matter of buying the sensors and horn and plugging them into wires that already existed. BMW wants you to buy these features from factory so they can charge you 2-3k for them. |
