Hi everyone, I've found an aftermarket 360 camera system on aliexpress that looks like the new camera system on new g-series bmw, with the 3d model of the car with the 360 view around it. The kit includes camera brackets specifically made for the bmw f30, so there's no need to drill anything.
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/329613...mic-trajectory Has anybody installed it? Do you think it will melt images from different cameras as nicely as the oem camera? Oem 360 system doesn't have front view, that's why I'm considering this.. It's not really cheap (about 390 dollars for cameras+brackets+unit+shipping) so I'm thinking about it a lot, do you think it's worth it? |

im looking at a similar unit too
check out this one. it has mirror bases that swap out for the cameras for no cutting https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3290...5-c76955ee8e24 i couldnt quite understand exactly what the different options are though. i think it looks decent from what ive seen on youtube

Here's the video: About the installation, I installed it on my own so I don't know how much would it cost. It's a big work... it involves removing and tearing down a lot of things.. footwell, door panels, side mirrors, all the way to the back trunk.. but it's absolutely doable. It took me 3 days of work, but I'm not a professionist at all. I followed this guide: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...8;postcount=39 Remember that it outputs a yellow rca video cable, you need an interface to see it in the car screen. I used carplay mmi to see it (there's a wire that tells the carplay unit when to show the video input) |

Thanks!! This is very attractive but I am worry on wiring. I followed your link on the other post but doesnt seem to detail enough. For door, did you route though the soft cabling case and there is existing big enough hole to go in without drilling?
The reason i asked as the aliexpress is direct video signal instead of a pin connect to the existing connector at thedoor. The only area needed to drill is the front firewall? Thanks a lot for sharing the lights Last edited by casper-tech; 06-17-2020 at 02:23 AM.. |

While the tuning part doesn't seem to be easy, in 360 view, the connection between the front and the side seems to be abit odd, especially like road curbs which i believe cant be avoided due to viewing angle any way. While, would you be able to have straight line view for lines on the road for the entire view? it seems the far end front and the far end rear is abit distorted. And I cant set the right size of the car, the virtual car reaches an obstacle but my car in real still yet to... seem the picture of the car is larger than actual.... Overall... good stuff! |

For the stitching quality, consider that, as you said, it's all about the point of view. So road curbs won't be perfect. What you want is just that you can understand the surrounding of the car, once you get that, you're fine. About the lines, you can get them almost perfect if you calibrate using calibration carpets (sold by the same seller) instead of hand made lines on the ground. My view is very good with that calibration. But always remember the same thing, point of view is everything. So if the car is in a road that isn't perfectly flat, you'll see the road lines get larger or narrower. For the car size, just set the actual car size. The fact that the car looks bigger is a safety feature: when you see in the screen that you hit the curb, you're fine because you know that there actually was 10 more centimeters! Trust me, I spent hours on the calibration settings to get the calibration perfect without any luck. Don't look for the perfection, just find a calibration that lets you understand the surrounding and park easily! EDIT: One tip: don't know if you already did that but you can select the "inclination" of the reverse and front view. Mine was pointing down, then found out that there's a dedicated page in settings to change that (camera zones). |

Hello, I'm thinking about buying the same system and I was wondering if I buy the android 10 head unit would it work with trajectory lines because it says that it supports 360 cameras.
Also how does it tget automatically triggered to show cameras on screen?when you reverse? Thanks in advance |

I have the factory surround view and wouldnt mind changing it to aftermarket 360. But I think i would lose the PDC function which id like to keep. Is that correct?

It triggers when you put in reverse. The camera unit has a wire that has to be connected to the android 10 screen to tell him when to show the video input. |

I've been messaging the seller about this and they reckon it will only fit 2017 onwards F32, was there any difference on the boot handle, front grill, and mirror underside trims in the LCI update? I cant see a difference |
