[@richardsweeney7603]

Just a kuddo -- I am simply blown away by the quality of your DIY videos -- complete! step by step is completely clear! Oh, my gosh -- this is so good. Thank you! I'm on board for many mods to my F32! Thank you!!

[@bimmer-tech]

We're happy you like it)

[@Bsquaredplus2]

Don't forget that fiber optic cable! It sets the date/time on the cluster!

[@MrKishore445]

Once again thank you so much for the video ... Installed front, rear, Smartview yesterday and everything working fine 👍😀

[@kumarganeswaran1723]

What a great video from Bryan again. I’ve learned so much from this and his Kies Motorsports videos. Thank you so much. Keep up the excellent work!

[@SPEAKTRULY]

Sad to see a luxury brand like Bmw making cars without backup cameras in 2017 when lesser makes offer this standard. Good news is all cars manufactured to be sold in the USA after May 2018 must have a rear camera by as required by law.

[@andrei3720]

SPEAKTRULY its an option you can pay for

[@shahzebali3544]

why do you state the obvious

[@Soljarag5]

thanks for the video.... this confirms $300 install fee is well worth it!

[@tonyy08]

Lol i had forgotten you had longer hair. Haahha. Never get tired of thaat white f30. Fell in love with it

[@pwynes51]

you should do a video on how to install a new steering wheel..like the M Style one ..

[@dsuess]

Love the video, very detailed & the tutorial is spot-on! What does this do to the warranty of the car?

[@KiesMotorsports]

k thanks!

[@bimmer-tech]

Please review our FAQ on this topic: www.bimmer-tech.net/information/faq

[@dsuess]

perfect answer in the FAQ. Now I see why you provided the link; good read.

[@Johnsy2012]

It's a good camera, the only issue I have is when I input the sim card into my PC for downloadingt, I can only see the front view and not the rear view but in the car I can see both. Any tips please?

[@RasoulMojtahedzadeh]

In seems that the same activation procedure (Radio Button 8, for example) has been used to activate both SmartView and Front Camera!

[@bimmer-tech]

Hello there! There are several ways for each device. And it depends on which port you will plug the device into on the MMI module. In the video you have the text that explains how each port is responsible for a separate button/section prntscr.com/mdrvzc

[@X5Monster]

hey i just wondering i have a bmw 328d wagon 2014 with no navigation, Should i get the one MMI or OEM Thankssss

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi! The OEM camera is only compatible with vehicles with navigation. You're going to need the MMI camera. You can confirm compatibility with your F31 by entering your VIN here: bimmer-tech.net/bmw-rear-view-cameras/ Thanks!

[@donon1545]

Hi there i have 328xi drive 2014 she doesn't have the parking sensor how much it cost if I want only parking sensors or back camera to buy it pls if u have time to give me an answer thnx buy the way great video

[@bimmer-tech]

Hello Don! Thanks) We're working hard to produce useful and great videos :) Now about your question 1. We offer an OEM Park Distance Control retrofit. It can be installed onto the rear of your BMW, or front, or both. You can read more about it here www.bimmer-tech.net/shop/bmw-3-series-f30-f31-f34-f80/park-assist-retrofits/pdc-park-distance-control-retrofit-oem. 2. We have 3 types of backup cameras - Rear View Camera MMI, Rear View Camera OEM Integration, Rear View Camera OEM. If you don't have PDC (park distance control), you can purchase a rear view camera MMI (this is a BimmerTech original product). It doesn't require PDC to work and the camera image will be full screen on your iDrive display. Here is how it works (demo from a client) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqC8ZoaVpL54q5Y, and here is the installation video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZzWl4SQo7B8gsk. 3. If you want to have a PDC in your car, then you can choose between rear view camera OEM (a BMW original one) and rear view camera OEM integration (aftermarket BimmerTech camera but works with PDC). You can find out more about the cameras here www.bimmer-tech.net/bmw-rear-view-cameras/. Just type in your VIN and the webpage will show you what your car is compatible with. If you want some technical advice, write an email with your VIN and yoru query to [e-mail]. Hope that helps :)

[@ecori1091]

Hi I have a question regarding the smartview. What is the resolution displayed on screen? Will the airplay/miracast have sound??

[@bimmer-tech]

+Eco Ri The resolution is 480p. Yes, it will have sound. More details about the product you can find here: www.bimmer-tech.net/shop/bmw-3-series-f30-f31-f34-f80/connecteddrive-retrofits/bimmertech-smartview

[@ecori1091]

+BimmerTech I was under the impression that RCA's maximum resolution was 480i. Also is the mode selection button necessary? Seems like Menu(3sec hold) and 8 does the same thing.

[@bimmer-tech]

hi Bryan, I was wondering if this process is also similar on a F32 2014 BMW 428i? Thank you

[@sgriff36]

Brian just installed mine today quick question with audio not getting sound when using Netflix app on AppleTV get pic no sound. Get sound on ESPN app..any suggestions

[@dmaxoutdoors]

I installed this on my son's f30 2 years ago. He loves it. I need some help getting it set back up. When in reverse it was showing 3/4 camera and a 1/4 menu on the display. I was trying to get it back to full screen. Now the camera doesn't come on in reverse. It just show full screen menu. I didn't mess with anything except the joystick on console. Thanks please help.

[@dmaxoutdoors]

I got it. Put car in reverse. Push joystick to the left for a few seconds. It went back to full screen backup camera.

[@AbdusSalam-jh7vm]

Where do I purchase this tech from?

[@Archer00777]

hi i am really interested to install MMI Rear View Camera, Front View Camera and SmartView Installation so where can i buy everything and how much its cost thanks

[@jpbredenkamp5091]

Hi Brian! I was wondering if Bimmertech or anyone else makes an OEM looking dash cam? I was hoping someone makes a housing that looks just like the review mirror housing, but with a camera. If not, any other discrete dash cam for an F30 would be awesome

[@bimmer-tech]

Hey there! Unfortunately, we don't have dash cams. But we have an OEM rear view camera from BMW. If you type your VIN here www.bimmer-tech.net/bmw-rear-view-cameras/, the website will show you whether it's compatible with your car.

[@hball1234]

The head unit on my car is twice the size of the unit in the video. There is no room behind the head unit for the MMI and all of the harnesses and wiring. Where can I install the MMI?

[@bimmer-tech]

+Harris if you have already bought your camera and have this issue, please contact us at [e-mail] and we will help you with the installation. If you consider buying and have some concerns you can also contact us and our sales team will answer all your questions.

@BimmerTech My 2017 330i does not have a fiber optic cable. What do I need to do to install the mmi prime retro carfit and rear view camera?

[@bimmer-tech]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5XQnqyJqtJkicU - you can just skip the fiber optic part

[@shize9ine]

What about for manual transmissions F30?? is that what the p.line and mirror is for? nothing on the install instructions.

[@bimmer-tech]

Hey there! If you bought one of the above mentioned products from us, please contact our tech specialists at [e-mail] with your VIN and order number.

[@Cadnaan05]

This is why u buy Nav option and driver assistance plus so u don't have to do all this hard work unless you are this guy. lol

[@bimmer-tech]

Well, Bryan loves doing this kind of work, just take a look at all the stuff he does on his channel: kzbin.info ;-) And if you don't feel like doing it yourself, you can always put your feet up and let Bryan or another of our Authorized Dealers do the hard work for you: www.bimmer-tech.net/dealers

[@Cadnaan05]

Thanks BimmerTech, but mine is already fully loaded!

[@karhaa]

Or... OR... You can buy the equipment from BimmerTech, and spend an afternoon installing yourself. Then you'd save a few thousand dollars. But oh well, money grows on trees.

[@meteora8888]

Do you need the interface if you already have surround view?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hey there! Yes, you still need the multimedia interface module for rear view camera, front view camera and smartview

[@MegaDon2006]

Brian, I don't have folding seats, how do I route the wire from the truck to the front? Hate to take the whole back out, I believe it is bolted on?

[@andrei3720]

Tushar it should be easy to remove. I dont think its bolted

[@Jaeslay1]

What wheels are those????

[@dushsum]

Will you MMI work if I want to only install a front view camera as I already have my original reverse camera and parking sensors?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi Dushan. Sure, if you're only looking for a front-view camera, you can find our kit here: www.bimmer-tech.net/shop/bmw-3-series-f30-f31-f34-f80/park-assist-retrofits/front-view-camera-retrofit This leaves your original rear-view camera and parking sensors intact, it's only adding a front-view camera. If you have an F30 like in the video, you may prefer this version of the kit: www.bimmer-tech.net/shop/bmw-3-series-f30-f31-f34-f80/park-assist-retrofits/grill-friendly-front-view-camera which features a special camera designed to clip between the slats of the front grille. Thanks!

[@minutzionel]

nice job !!!

[@socommaster]

so does this replace the original idrive system?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hello there! No-no, you just add a separate multimedia module (MMI) which plays the role of a medium between your iDrive and the retrofits. Cameras and SmartView are connected to the MMI, and the MMI is connected to your head unit.

[@robertosanchez8580]

Oh my god it actually worked. Thank Ese - I can't believe I was able to cram ALL THAT EXTRA WIRE in there. Not a millimeter to spare. Now my GF can drive my car lol jk ese jk

[@benefactionhindrance]

Excuse my ignorance but the “i” in bimmer is a short vowel so you should pronounce it [bim - er] not [beam - er].

[@bimmer-tech]

We had Bryan ask the masses: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6vHoH6uiMuEirM and, in the interests of respecting democracy, we went with the result of the popular vote. Beeeeemer it is :-)

[@bimmer-tech]

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Please send us the time stamp and be more specific.

[@alquimiaautomotriz]

@@bimmer-tech your kit came with a grey wire coming from one of the connectors on the back up camera kit i googled it and found it needed to be spliced into the second plug on the module inside the trunk (on the right above the battery) and spliced into the black wire with blue stripe. it worked fine the first four times the car was started, but now i just get a black screen on the idrive screen (and the mmi will click on, then click again and turn off), but when i disconnect the system or the 5 amp fuse on the bimmertech mmi, the idrive will turn back on and act normal again.
