Reverse camera module location?
Does anyone know where the reverse camera module is located? I’ve had the rear side panels removed and also taken out the carpet in back but nothing. Also checked under the passenger footwell up front.

It’s in the Drivers side kick panel.

I just retrofitted a reverse camera to my 2014 F34.
I can't for the life of me see a way of routing the cable from the tailgate into the cabin. At the moment it is looped so not a great position but at least the camera works. I can't find instructions for removing the trims and accessing the cars loom to get the cable through. How do you get those funky instruction leaflets? |

I installed one of these, with the camera mounted on the hatch right next to the OEM camera.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0811Q28N6...A2KR0J0CK34VOC I ran the cable under the various trim pieces all the way to the rear view mirror that it attached to. There's no funky instruction leaflets, you have to figure it out, but it can be done. |

Depends what you're using. I've fitted camera emulator boxes which just required me to code the HU and the REM but if you're fitting the genuine BMW reverse camera hardware (pre-LCI) then you'll have the TRSVC module which also needs coding.
With an emulator there's no TRSVC to worry about and with an LCI car there is no separate module so it's ICAM instead of TRSVC. As the retrofit guide linked above mentions, if the car is pre-LCI and it came with reverse camera from factory or has had the genuine BMW retrofit then the TRSVC module is located under the trim in the driver's footwell - there are different mounting brackets for LHD and RHD cars, so it will be on your driver's side regardless. Not the best picture and my car is RHD but you can see the silver module at an angle above the foam padding: You can also see it here through the cutout I made when I was cutting a hole in my dash for the storage compartment: |

No, this was with my OEM camera. Among the things I coded, all in REM, were:
REM 3203 V_SCHWELLE_2 werte = FF (default werte = 0F) The speed when it auto disables rear camera view (FF = 255 km/h) REM 3203 D_SCHWELLE_2 werte = FF werte = 00 The distance when it auto disables rear camera view (default FF = 255 meters) |

On the contrary, my 2017 LCI F34 has the rear camera module installed from the factory. Car is North American spec.

I have from factory rear view camera and no trsvc module in the footwell. If I want to do the top view and side view do I get the trsvc module and bracket, and of course all the cameras and such? It’s a 2018 f30 LCI. Thanks
