you need a video box(media box ) thing then you can connect to the camera and get it coded in. big job but i think makkan can help.

It's one of those upgrades like xenons - relatively cheap to specify new but a whole ballache after the event.

i fitted an interface and camera in my e90 335d 2007
it was from this seller, i think it was this model (but check with him 1st) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-iDrive...item3cca8e95c1 he did me a bit of a deal as i got the camera at the same time (which was about £27 i think) v good seller and was very helpful with any wiring problems i had cam went faulty after about 6 months but he replaced it straight away and no probs since. not to hard to fit, just time consuming taking trim apart. nice job for a warm, dry weekend can play dvds etc as well if i plug in dvd player. btw, it uses idrive screen as the monitor |

i have a question for the people who installed cameras with CCC interface and already have PDC:
if you press the PDC button manually.. will the camera be activated? or just the PDC will appear on the screen?

just the pdc comes on. if you wanted it on any other time you could connect to a live feed with a trigger switch

well.. thats why u cant test it.. i believe .. if your video interface is connected to thecan network.. then u can program it with the keyboard so it can turn on without using the lamp wire.. but thru the CAN network..
which MAY or MAY NOT make the camera work if u press the PDC button...
