backup camera replacment 2015 550i

So the backup camera has stopped working and needs replacement on my 2015 550i. The dealer wants an ungodly amount to do it so I figured I would check here first to see if anyone has done this and can offer tips on doing it myself. Is this a straightforward swap or is it sufficiently complicated that i should pay the dealer to do it? I can find a salvaged oem replacement on ebay for about $100 whereas the dealer wants $700 for the item and two hours of labor.

Not 100% sure but I believe you could source a used one, plug and play, and do it yourself without too much headache.


No doubt that dealer quote is ridiculous

You do have to calibrate the camera after replacing for it to work properly. It is a simple process if you have ISTA.
