And does it work on subsequent frequent reversing?

I had: rvc_cic wert_23 but I had different pins, so need to use: rvc_cic wert_21 Yes, the camera comes on eachtime put into reverse! I haven't done any kind of proper testing - today was just getting it to work. Now I've got to resort the wiring as I've made a mess trying to find the fault. Very pleased with myself! |

For future ref: case anyone else buys this emulator.... I've just double check & the fault is with the white power wire coming from the emulator! You need to connect the power +12v of the camera to the actual power line going to the CIC (as Tofu suggested) & NOT emulator! |

In that case camera is constantly on when the car is running. It will decrease the lifetime of the camera. You should inform the seller. Also if I was you, I would connect it to reverse light so it turns on only when the car is in reverse.

If you take out one of the boot lid light cluster, you can track the metallic plate going to reverse light. Then remember the pin linked to it and trace the wire attached to it.

my white power wire worked fine makes me question the quality of these emulators even more now... maybe i DID get two duds. |

I remember that I went for Sony cmos camera and hence the night video is excellent.

Looks good, finally a cheapish yet useful mod for BMW's!
Looking to do this mod too and have started to install as received all my parts today but have am a bit confused with the camera wiring. Most of the cameras out there seem to have 2 wires - Reverse light +ve and ground. My camera has a power supply converter with the following (sadly no instructions or wiring diagram with the camera). Yellow wire which goes to 12v battery Grey wire which goes to parking lamp anode Black wire which goes to ground There is also another red wire coming out of the yellow phono lead. Does anyone else have this - as this means there will be a constant feed as well as a switched. Ideally I only want the switched. Am I right in thinking I just need to use the yellow wire and not connect the grey wire? As my car has front PDC too I need to get the switched from the PDC switch on the dash I think (if the emulator white wire does not work that is), so that it triggers with front or back PDC and the switch a la factory fit operation. |

The red wire from the RCA plug is only used if you are powering the cam from the emulator. think of it merely as an "extension". the trio of wires as well as the "filter" are used if you're powering it off of the reverse light |

I have sent them three e-mails in last one month. Not a single response. Checked junk mail as well. Good luck with your venture though.
