aftermarket Rearview camera? How good are they?

[cue03]

I am thinking of getting a 4.8is instead of the new e70 and I am trying to do my homework.

If I get a car that has navi and parking distance control (beeping I assume), will I be able to properly retrofit a rear view camera? Who makes the best/coolest camera out there?

Any chance on getting a camera that has the steering angle and obstacle colors etc like that found on the new/upcoming e70?

ALSO, can the navigation system be upgraded?

Thanks

We can definitely set you up with a rear view camera setup. Are you looking to integrate other video devices on the NAV screen (iPod, DVD Player) as well?

Thanks for the info Tom. I wasn't looking for all the extras. Only the rear view piece.

The other pieces require an Ipod which i do not own. If it has the ability for other video sources such as a portable DVD player or something I may be interested.

Here are the pieces I recommend:

Video Source Module (VSM) for BMW - Core System

Reverse "Bumblebee" Camera
http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...roducts_id=439

We're running a promotion in another forum in where you can get a considerable discount on the VSM (only 2 more spots left) along with a free set of installer tools.

PM me for details.
