Any tips, especially running the wires from the boot (through that pipe?)? Did you go down the drivers side?

Just ask the seller that his emulator does not/ should not interfere with the CIC emulator, otherwise you will see your money wasted.

About the wiring, I could not pass the wiring through that pipe as its very tight and space is not enough. I still used its opening on both sides but the wire is outside of that pipe.

Since that pipe is on driver side, therefore I went for the driver side.

The power cable for the camera was short. When I connected it to reverse light, it worked fine for few seconds, but then it started having horizontal lines due the pulse width modulation of bmw lights.

Luckily my video cable for the camera had built-in power cable. So I used that and earth was taken from the reverse light. No issues then.

All good so far. Need to check it in the night though.


Good luck with your installation.
