F31 Reversing Camera Retrofit

Evening all.

Working my way through a rear camera retrofit on my wagon.

Have fitted the camera and run the cable up to the head unit. Can post pics of cable routing if people are at all interested...

Whilst I'm waiting for a hardware to be sorted out by the supplier I'm wondering about the coding side of things.

Can I do the coding through the BimmerCode app or will I need to use something else?

Cheers

If you could find out all the coding parts you need to change you may be able to do it with Bimmercode, but really you need to VO code the option in so need Esys.

No don’t believe you can VO code with that either.

I used these guides:

I used a simpler method from an eBay seller and cost half for the parts than the oem stuff, but all plugs in as oem.

I know it has been a while and this is a long shot, but do you still have the pictures? I am looning at doing this but the only videos I can find are either for the f30 or filmed in such a way that you can’t see anything so end up being as useful as a chocolate teapot.

I'm also interested in this if you still have the photos?

I've installed a dash cam to my previous F30 and managed to hide all the wires discretely. Just wondering if anything changes with it being a reverse camera and with wires going behind the centre console.
