BimmerTech vs. Bimmer Retrofit -- Camera

toystwo · 02-13-2017, 02:31 PM

I have a 2011 E93 on the way. I want to add a back-up camera. I have read several different threads on each of these vendors but have not seen a comparison. Has anyone compared these two assuming an "OEM Integration" approach? The BimmerTech is more expensive ($699) and it requires scheduling the remote coder, whereas the Bimmer Retrofit is $579 and is "self-coding".

Which is the better install/camera/quality or are they about equal?

The car has Nav and PDC as well as S6FL (USB) & S639 (Bluetooth).

Thanks in advance for any help.

I wouldn't buy either of those, check out the $130 Ebay Backup Camera thread here.
