F36 camera module location

Hi all I have got a 2018 f36 I purchased oem camera retrofit kit, I'm struggling to find the location of the where the camera module needs to be installed?

If you know the location or have images that would be helpful

Cheers

Is this the Kafas camera or reversing camera?

Should be able to find it on Newtis:

I located my module (Emtronika OEM) in the space just underneath where it attaches in the central dash, the chap who fitted placed it at the very back behind the central unit, i had to pull it again as one of the switches wasn't on the correct setting.

Don't know if that helps, but it may depend on your particular unit as i have seen some located in the area near the fuses. Mine was wired in to a connector so it had to be located near to the central dash as it simply just plugged in.

I installed mine behind the boot liner side panel on the left hand side of the boot, doesn't matter too much where it goes within reason. The Emtronika supplied OEM kit came with a F10 wiring harness which is obviously different to the F30/F36 so I couldn't fit it under the dash where its supposed to go. I just unwrapped the loom, cut the wiring to the correct length for where I was positioning the control module and it all worked out well. There's a convenient ground point behind the left hand boot panel and I also purchase some tails/connectors to connect the harness directly into the FEM as per the instructions. Hardest part was getting the camera cable through the tailgate (you have to remove most of the tailgate trim from memory) but it wasn't too bad tbh.
