Back up camera installed - *testing*

This was my way of thinking when I started working on it ...

All of that has been achieved, but I am not sure about the ability to turn on the camera while driving forward. I see what I can do ...

You can use the same module used to watch DVD's while the car is moving to accomplish that.

so, is the cost an arm? a leg? or both? :P

Doba, Always impressed at your DIYs. You know, if you need a second testbed, I am local.

No, compare to BMWs prices it will be a piece of cake

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Looking forward to the release.

If this works for the 08 M3, I am assuming the 08 335's will work for it as well.

I'm so in for this.

i foresee a supply shortage.

+100000000 for all 3ers

Nice job. Like LMB said above, I'm always impressed by the innovators among us.

Really looking forward to this.

+1, if this is around 500, sold.

Here is some update guys:

Today I spent good 5-6 hours installing it on my car ... Since I was doing it first time, I didn't want to rush and was taking my time ...

I installed today rear camera and installed the multimedia unit inside the dashboard ...

It took me good 1.5-2h just to figure out how to take the glove compartment off the car ... Now if you need to do that, for a small fee of $20 I will tell you the secret



Just kidding ...


Here are some pictures from today

this would be totally bad ass if it has a VGA input? for a car PC or somthing? too much to ask for?

Doba...you better have some serious production ready to go, all the E90/E92 guys will definitely be hoping on this since it's less than 500.
