BMW Video Module Questions

abster641 · #1 02-04-2009, 02:10 PM

Hello Folks,
I have a question. I have a backup camera and I need a video module to operate it. I don't want TV nor do I need it. I have included the part numbers that I found through various searches and wanted to verify that these are the only things that I needed to make the camera work. I have a MKIV navigation system on my X5.

66210303083 I believe this is the video module itself?
66-21-0-397-639 I believe this is the wiring harness

Thanks for your help!

Part 66210303083 (ADDITIONAL KIT FOR CAMERA)

That's the install kit, it's not the video module

Check out www.realoem.com

Gnet should work fine - only $239 usd: http://www.navvideo.com/navvideo-models-nv_rgb_bmw.asp

Thanks Kiwi. I can't find the video module on real oem. I am calling a local dealer to see if I can get the part number.

Zerochief,
Thanks for the link to Gnet. I may end up with that. I am just trying to compare the costs and quality of the units. I have seen some complaints about the after market unit.

Thanks!

I don't have the Gnet, but I have a similar product with the exact same enclosure and connectors; probably the same pcb inside. I can say that the quality is good and I've been using it for 3 years now with no issues.

That is the NavTV BMWV+ .
NAV-TV Corporation: BMWV+

My local stereo shop recommends this piece... I'm debating whether to go this route with a camera or the OEM solution.

Zerochief,
Thanks for the feedback. It is great to know and the price point is really good.

On the BMW side, I think what I am looking for is item number 66210303083. I called a BMW parts dealer and he is contacting BMW to verify that this is what I need tomorrow. I think it may actually have the wiring harness too. If not, I need to price that. The price on this kit is really competitive if it has the wiring harness. If not, it will be about $100 more expensive than the Gnet unit.

Thanks for you help so far and if anyone has any other information I would appreciate the information!

Thanks!
