Has anyone else had the "works first time only" problem with the autofocustech emulator? Subsequent shifts into reverse make the screen grey...

Where and from what company can I get the emulator? Also I'm afraid about how to code it where do I find the coder. I wouldn't like to buy one just for this issue what would you advice?

Hey guys.

First, amazing work thus far. Very impressed.

I have a full setup w/E84 PDC Front/rear and rear view camera TRSVC (single blue cable).

What I'd like to do is retrofit either Top/Rear view or Top/Side/Rear view TRSVC from an E70, has anyone achieved this?

It sounds like if the TRSVC from an E70 is working w/rear view, it should work fine if you plug in all the cameras? Or does PDC coding determine which camera signals to send.

My current plan is sometime this week to go snag mirrors and PDC module from a local yard that has an X5 top-rear view setup, if everything is there.

three camera module


five camera module


Fakra connectors Digikey has. Hopefully we can make our own cables, ideally.

The cables HSD. Were there any successes with this idea?

I'm confident as far as I got, you would be able to code it to make it work. the hard part is the wiring.

You just need any e70/f10 surround view cameras, and the 5 hole module, as well as pdc. Then coding. Its there as an option in my E84.

Sadly, cars toast. I do have parts if anyone needs F+R PDC and Camera for just rear view. All factory parts worked before wreck, front hit so 6/8 pdc sensors and camera are good.

The good news is, I now have an F25 with surround view. Its neat, novel little feature. The e70/f10/f25 aren't as good as newer surround view (I have early f25 with CIC not NBT) but it is not bad.
