The good news is that you don't need to update it. You don't have CIC.08, that's just the default version that it shows before reading the module. Do a "lessen" so it can read your actual version.

Ha? Thats new info. Where should i run lessen exactly?

[lnxguy]

Just go in with NCSExpert read the CiC ecu and look at the file extension that's the version info. It will be something like CIC.C1A or CIC.16 etc.

Right in the same place you saw C.08, look at it again after reading the CIC and it'll list your actual version.

The black and red get hooked up to the reverse light and the red thin one is the trigger wire hooked up to the reverse circuit as well so that the radio goes to the camera when you put the car in reverse. In this application just follow the guide in the first post using the emulator and you should be alright.

I followed this DIY from A to Z including coding for but nothing is showing up on my CIC screen. I put gear on Reverse and screen doesn't change from navigation to backup camera or PDC screen. Can someone point me what would be the problem in this case?

Hardware was bought from same eBay Seller as OP bought. Soldered connection and made sure they are well connected.

Car spec:
2009 BMW M3 with CIC.16

No PDC!!

Coding I have done to enable it:

just to clarifi

The yellow rca, is going to the headunit, but i hade to cut it:S so now i have 3cabels, from the video source. im gusins
+ and - and the thin red is the trigger like u said.

the red rca is for power, just to plug it in, the revers ligt, red to + and black to -

and the thin red one:S is still a mystery for me,

what is the red thin wired to in trunk, also to the reversligt?

and in the other end, at the HU, is the goign as the same as the RCA + cabel

sorry for not understanding

Well after almost 2 years working flawlessly, the picture from my camera is starting to look a little out of focus. It hasn't had any impact or damage that I am aware of or can see, the picture just looks a little blurry and not quite focussed correctly. Whether water has got into the unit and caused this, or the camera is just coming to the end of it's life i'm not sure - i will try disconnecting it and leaving it in a jar of rice or similar in case it is moisture causing it. It's still perfectly usable , just not crisp and clear like it has been up until now.
Will update this if i resolve it, but if not it looks like a new camera is required.

I had a similar problem to you. It turned out that my camera was faulty, the UK winter probably played it's a part.

A new camera for £15 fixed the issue.

Thanks for the info. Did you replace just the small camera or did you get a whole new boot latch handle with camera built in?

The whole handle Inc camera.

Just to add, I did a quick test to ensure it was the camera at fault. I unplugged the camera and plugged in another video source (an old digital camera) and the picture worked fine.

Might be worth doing to 100% diagnose.

[lnxguy]

Sounds like a possible emulator problem.

Not sure if you are replying to my post or the member above this post?

Just bought all the parts, but worried about the splicing part. Can I buy something like this?

I bought the harness too, btw

I don't recommend it as connection weakens after sometime.

[lnxguy]

Do not use wire taps, they're garbage.

[z0mghii]

Are you guys all splicing with soldering?

[lnxguy]

I spliced and soldered.

Hi all,

Hoping you can assist, (E90 335i 2009) I'm from Australia and followed the European assignment, I finally got around to coding after having the rear camera installed for some time.
Unfortunately I got nothing on the camera window display when in reverse, my PDC is still working. One thing I've noticed, the TV works via CIC fine while the car is running off the battery, however when the car is on, and set to TV - I can see the rear camera interfering with the picture - its fighting between the TV and the Rear camera.
It looks like the unit has power even when not in reverse. - Is this normal?

Can anyone offer any advice? should I follow the North America pin-out? (24 and 21)

Coding Used, $3AG to the VO in the CAS and NFRM (no FRM option)
MACRO_PDC

I'm using the same emulator as the OP

Thanks in advance!
