Hi there,

I don't have backup camera on my mini and was just looking up some videos on youtube and came across this
As per the video thats an aftermarket rear camera!!!! Anyone here knows from where can I get that camera?

 

What else might be going on while you're watching that?

 

This is a feature I wish I would have got on my Clubman.

 

I have the stock camera in my 16 F55 and it looks exactly like this, not sure what is different about it.

 

The guidance lines are not a "green grid" on the OEM camera

 

Oh I see yeah, I have the little nubs I think, but not full grid lines. I highly doubt this is aftermarket unless they installed the OEM one aftermarket. Because it looks too much like the stock one and is tied to the sensors, I would think this would take a lot of work by a 3rd part manufacturer which I dont see. Makes me wonder if the grid lines can be coded in to the camera, I honestly don't care for the grid it seems like too much overlay on the video, too much to look at.

 

Looks a lot like results from the retrofit kits sold by Bimmer Tech:

BIMMER Tech sells 3 versions I believe, depending on your car's options. For the OEM, you need iDrive and PDC, and maybe Nav Pro too. I had all that.

 

I purchased the TadiBrothers backup camera system for the Mini (F56) 2016. I have not installed yet because I'm looking for information on removing the dash. Can't seem to find a good service manual, video, exploded drawings or written instructions. Can't afford to scratch or damage anything since it's the wife's car.

 

That is the site I am going to get mine from, how is the quality, and did you get the factory style camera?

 

Not sure if this would help but i did it to put in secret coompartment

Thanks for the response. I'll update after I get this thing done. Sounds like there is either a hole to push through/down to release that top flanged center piece or you must come up from underneath it with a j-hook tool ( I ordered the plastic set of dash tools just to be safe $17 on amazon)

 

^^ was just going to post that thread, heavy beat me too it

 

I just had mine installed last Saturday at 4x4shop.ca (Markham, Ontario). They installed the back-up camera together with a module that will link to the centre head unit so no additional display is needed.
Like the OEM back-up camera, it also shows the PDC sensor animation side by side with the rear view display.

 

xentar! nice running into you on this thread too

Which version did you get from them. I was looking into this and definitely want one for my F54 clubby. Unsure if i get NBT or CIC. Did you get the camera from them too?

 

Hey oj.. just llike I mentioned on my PM.. I got the NBT version. Here is the link of the camera interface they installed on my MCS in case there are others here who might also be interested.
