BMW Advanced car eye 2 Professional instalation on f15 X5

Mounting an original BMW video recording system BMW Advenced Car Eye 2.0. on a f15
Assembly made professionally exactly as the manufacturer requires, wiring with special tape that prevents noise from vibration and accidental rubbing or cutting of wires, professional disassembly of panels and perfect placement of wires, cleaning and sanitizing parts that have been disassembled and assembled. here you can see how to make an assembly as per the book, this does not mean that if you stuff the wiring under the plastics and the carpet it will not work, it will work but it will not be safe
And the part that, as the book takes longer is not true, it took longer that I had to film the operation. it is better to work professionally like in the book than to improvise and not sleep well at night with the thought that the car will catch fire

It’s not too hard to take off panels. I installed CarPlay and reverse cam into the stock headunit. Entire right side and floor was out.

wow. really nice work. I really like that you pay attention to detail and clean up things before putting everything back together. Anyway I think you could have spared a few steps like wrapping the cable with that cloth tape... I don't think it would ever make noise as you put it together with the other unwrapped cables. If I would know that the dealer works with that amount of detail I wouldn't do all the mods myself :-p

[@professionalyoutubecomment7272]

Not true. I had to dismantle my panels and actually wrap the cables in cloth tape because they were rattling on uneven road. I think wrapping everything in sound absorbing materials should be a standard procedure.

@@MOvidiu How about installing the ACE 3.0 Pro on a 2022 G05?

[@billcoleman8854]

I recently bought a X5 Pre-wired for the ACE 2.0. however, the front camera was missing. Unable to retrieve the camera from the previous owner, I purchased a entire new camera set. However, the camera does not work in the car. I have checked all of the wiring, in line fuse, Everything appears to be in order. I tried the new camera with the mount and harness that it came with in the box, and it works fine. But it will not lite up with the existing old mount in the car. Can you tell me if there is a lockout in these cameras, where they will only work with the original mount, possibly to deter thievery?

[@aaacreations6036]

Just in case you are still looking for an answer. I got the ACE 3.0 installed from BMW, few months later found the 3.0 Pro which comes with a built in display and a few other advanced features. I just swapped out the front camera unit on the existing harness and dock. It worked without any problem. So there appears to be no lockout. I would think the ACE 2.0 should be the same. The installed harness may be damaged in your case.

Hey! Is the installation on the F20 LCI the same as your installation? Is only the unit under the hood? are the pins and connectors the same?

[@MOvidiu]

If you want to install it as specified by BMW, you will need to ask for the installation instructions from the BMW dealer in your area, now they may not give you that information because they are technical details used only internally. Or you could search the forums to find leaked information posted by someone

Long story short, if you ever installed this in a G05 I would appreciate if you could share the exact wiring incl. Fuse number etc.

It’s a dash camera and it also comes with one for the rear. As soon as you turn on the vehicle, it starts recording. When you turn off the vehicle, it stops. You get a voice command that says “recording started” and then “recording stopped. Parking mode activated.” It’s just in case of an accident or anything where you’ll have video as evidence.
