BMW E90 Backup Camera

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows if any BMW dealer would install a rear view/backup camera? When I asked several different employees they all said the same thing... "Yeah sorry, some have it, some don't" Not one said if they can install it or not. I looked around and could not find a form with the answer, and I don't want to install it myself (I purchased basically every extended warranty and I don't want to void it).

Thanks for your replies in advanced

Bill

To my understanding the 3 series doesn't even have an option for rearview camera. Just PDC. I went with the xcarlink multimedia unit and the rearview camera that replaces the trunk latch. Looks very oem and quality is great. Has guidelines too.

This is not true. Mine has a factory backup cam.

That is not correct, yours is not an OEM backup cam as the E9x chassis never offered one either factory installed or an accessory.

Yours is either an aftermarket camera or the OEM mod by BimmerTech: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=745727

You are incorrect. I shouldn't have said factory but there is a BMW Dealer installed optional backup camera, which my vehicle has.

It may be dealer installed but OEM it is not.

I suggest you get a second back-up camera. That way you will be one of the few people on your block with a back-up back-up camera.
