Reverse Camera retrofit (HK spec?)
Dear All,
Just recently purchased a 528 without a reverse camera. This vehicle has a 7" screen without business navigation. Was told by my local BMW dealer that for a reverse camera retrofit, it requires the SA601 part which is a TV tuner. Now i heard previously with BMWs with the CCC idrive that this was required for a reverse camera. But with f10s using CIC, is it still required or my authorised BMW dealer bsing me. P.S. im located in asia and im pretty sure the spec is spec that is similar to the HK spec (sun roof, sports auto, bare bones). Thanks in advance. edit: just want to check if im being scammed to pay for additional parts i dont need just because i want to retrofit a reverse cam.

Thanks for the info! Contemplating on either having my authorised dealer - retrofit reverse cam (which may end up being a stupid amount as I may have to retrofit the 10.2" idrive for cam); - m sports aero kit; - suspension upgrade; or - rims Based on forum members experience, what should I really go for? (value based proposition, the reverse cam may not exactly be the best bang for the buck) =S Thanks in advance! |

just wanted to update everyone on the reverse camera issue. I had a talk to my authorised dealer and was told they can do it however they do not want to warrant the completeness of their work. Was also told they had done it for 3 other customers. However it would cost an amount which was a bit more than what I wanted to pay. Looking at third party options right now for reverse cams. Decided to go with Rims & M-kit instead of the RC. Thx guys |
