E91 tailgate camera/handle combo question

Hi all,

I've a 6.5 inch business navi screen in the car at the moment and have an 8.8 inch replacement screen/carplay on it's way, which also includes a replacement rear boot handle, with an integrated reverse camera.

The camera/handle doesn't have a button incorporated to open the boot. We'll have to resort to using the key fob, or the interior release button to open the tailgate.

My question is this; has anyone found a replacement handle for the boot, that incorporates a camera and a button to release the boot? I've searched all over ebay etc, however I can only find examples that don't include the release button.

Cheers! Chris.

You need to search harder. Ebay is littered with them.

Like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Trunk-Handl...0AAOSwfFRfLNBk

Or this? (seems to be nearly the same thing, but from a more name-brand vendor) https://www.crutchfield.com/S-JMEqAR...EaAgxpEALw_wcB

Yeah, thanks. I know how to search and find stuff online and know that there’s a heap of reverse camera handles available.
However when contacting the sellers, the most common response is that they don’t incorporate a release button, hence why I’m asking the forum for some direction to a handle that includes the release button.

Thanks! That eBay link is similar to the ones I’ve found, however when querying with the sellers most say that there’s no release button.

That crutchfield one, looks like the right one!
