Some people mentioned a white wire on the emulator but mine didn't have one. I suppose this is where people where connecting the red wire but I don't have one. Thoughts?

Which emulator u get? The the cid powers the emulator and the emulator powers the cam

I know but In the instructions there should be a white wire coming from the emulator, there isn't.

Is there another wire to splice into in order to power the camera (12v) ?

Pretty sure it uses an accelerometer/gyroscope to determine orientation and direction based on vehicle motion. Do the lines move if you turn the wheel but don't move? I imagine if there's a tiny lag, that's how it works. There's no CAN integration so it can't be pulling from the car.

Are all the trunk handle cameras of similar quality? Mine has fairly limited dynamic range, as you'd expect from a cheap camera. Headlights will completely wash out the display and direct sunlight makes the picture harder to see as well.

i think i'm almost at the finish line. i don't have the white wire that the red wire connects to, apparently, my emulator did have it . is there another location i can tap into in order to get power? does it need to be a switch type (turns on when in reverse) or constant 12v?

U can't pin another wire into emulator?

I got myself a carsystems emulator to get dynamic lines from BimmerTech and will give my PnP harness away to anyone who wants it. Free if picked up, $10 shipped. Annoying thing about it is that it only powers the camera when the car is NOT in reverse. Pinouts look ok, and maybe it's fixable. Connector is the same as every other chinese emulator so you could replace it and just use the harness. You'll still need to code your car to enable the camera, as this just emulates the hardware and provides an RCA input for the reverse cam.

I went with a trunk handle camera with dynamic lines and a reverse camera emulator. Installation and coding went off without a hitch.

Total cost $102.25

Did u do anything different than op diy? Just can mine in the mail haven't taken trunk liner off to look how i hav mine wired up yet but the wires look different.

Should be the yellow

[unrulyteach]

So installing new dynamic line cam and I'm not sure where red wire goes that powers the camera

[Nazty Naze One!]

I gave up on mine. Returning it today unless someone wants to buy it. Camera and emulator, shoot me an offer.

I thought this reverse camera would of came with the smaller rca connection to pass through the trunks rubber boot easier (as in the sellers pic below) However it's normal power and RCA connectors.

So you were able to pass it though ok i take it?

String, electrical tape, and silicone spray. I pulled my yellow rca through with little to no effort at all.

Cheers mate. I've done reverse cam installs before. Just wanted to make sure

Edit: I quickly checked out my trunk/boot flex tube to pass the wire through. Unfortunately it must be different for e92, their is no way you can get an normal RCA plug through it's already tight as.
thinking about cutting plug off and rejoining it.

The recommended camera by the OP has a small connector that addresses that. Cutting off a regular RCA cable and reconnecting should be easy as well.

[TiAgAu]

finished up my install. Had no issues apart from i had to cut the RCA cable to get it through the boot flex tube but it was pretty straight forward to fix it up with some soldering skills

I ended up not using that huge bulky plug and play harness, beats me how you would fit that thing behind the deck. I ended up cutting off the emulator and spliced it in for a much cleaner install plus i'd rather use the oem plug

[m3_tristan]

Did anyone get the pnp harness working? Where do you tap for power without the white wire?
