Edit: For my 2 cameras I bought, they both had a wire that stuck out of the bundle. In the seller's description and instructions on how to use, they said to cut it for those lines to be enabled. Last edited by n8s 330xi; 02-27-2015 at 11:42 AM.. Reason: Clarification |

To my knowledge, no one has been able to get the dynamic lines to function with an aftermarket emulator/camera.

Those of you using the handle-cam linked the first post, how has it stood up in time? I'm concerned because of the harsh conditions we get in Toronto (cold, wet, salt, snow, etc.), any concerns with using this eBay item from China?
Also, I think it will be a lot easier for me since I'm connecting it to an aftermarket HU (Pioneer Avic) and not the OEM CIC (I don't have I-drive at all). Any thoughts / suggestions to keep in mind? I'll be getting it installed professionally (though that doesn't always mean they know 100% of the small details for this installation in our cars). Thanks to all who have contributed, looking forward to enabling this in my car too!

I am not sure why you want someone else install this simple installation. Keep in mind they will not pay as much attention to detail as you would. I agree to what Rotary Rasp says when it comes to professional install |

fixed up the drawing, added cable colors to the other end closer to the pin locations to clear up some confusion about the twisted cables.

For the record, I'm not taking it to just any pro, I have a couple of guys who I trust to do good work (from past work done on my bimmer's audio, and other vehicles audio and remote start), but just want to proactively identify any specific issues he should look out for. Glad to hear your camera is weathering the storm just fine in Alberta... instills a lot of confidence for me here in TO.

Thanks! I updated the link in my walkthrough post. May not hurt to go back and see if you can update/remove the original and replace it with the new one.

From what I have read, no one has been able to enable the rear view camera with scripts.
If you know something the rest of the world doesn't, please enlighten us.

The camera suggested sounds reliable, I've searched and there aren't many alternatives out there, certainly no oem bmw options anyway, so going to order the one from eBay. When changing the vo to add the 3ag option, do you need to code the whole car afterwards, or just the cic module?
