REARVIEW CAMERA
Retrofitting a rearview camera into a BMW G Series vehicle can be a valuable safety and convenience upgrade, especially if your vehicle did not come equipped with one from the factory. Here’s a general overview of the steps involved in retrofitting a rearview camera into your BMW G Series:
Important Note: Retrofitting a rearview camera may vary in complexity depending on your BMW model and year. Some modern BMW G Series vehicles already have the necessary wiring and display compatibility for rearview cameras, while others may require more extensive modifications.
Depending from specific BMW G series model and year a rearview camera retrofit kit includes various components, such as the camera itself, wiring harness, control module, and mounting hardware.
Route Wiring:
We carefully route the wiring harness from the camera to the vehicle’s interior. This may involve threading the wiring through the rear of the vehicle, under the carpet, or along existing wiring harnesses.
Connect to Control Module:
Connecting the wiring from the rearview camera to the control module. The control module is responsible for processing the camera feed and transmitting it to the display.
Connect to Display:
Depending on your BMW model and the retrofit kit, we need to connect the control module to the vehicle’s display unit. Some BMWs already have compatible displays, while others may require additional components or modifications.
Depending on the retrofit kit and your vehicle’s configuration, we need to program or configure the system to recognize and activate the rearview camera when shifting into reverse gear.
We test the rearview camera system to ensure that it functions correctly. Verify that the camera feed is displayed on the screen when the vehicle is in reverse gear. If necessary, calibrate the camera for proper alignment.
Retrofitting a rearview camera into a BMW G Series vehicle can greatly improve safety and convenience, but it’s important to choose a high-quality kit and ensure that the installation is performed correctly. Costs may vary based on the complexity of the installation and the quality of components used.
Consult with us to get an accurate estimate for the retrofit and to ensure that it meets your specific requirements and preferences.
