Added Back Up Camera

Just wanted to share this as I am just so danged pleased with this mod. Car is a 2017 MCS and of course they did not come standard with a back up camera till 2018. I installed the Bimmer-Tech back up camera kit and it works flawlessly. When transmission is placed in reverse a full screen image pops right up on the central screen just like original equipment. It includes the grid markings and lines that show the reversing path. Of course the dealer always said a camera could not be retrofitted, so I am so glad I persued this option. Highly recommended. Check them out: www.bimmer-tech.net

Nice, yep we carry those. The turn lines are cool as I have this in other cars and its very helpful when backing into parking garages.
