BMW does make that camera

I can check my invoice for the part numbers if you can't find them...although any dealer should be able to quote them to you fairly quickly.

Details of my install are in this thread.

A year later I am still extremely pleased with the quality and performance of this camera.

Phil47, yours must be looking awesome. i'm really looking foward to get the back camera.
just make sure, are part numbers i have the same as yours??
now i have the two part number i guess i need both of them.
66 21 0 303 079
66 21 0 303 083
with price about $700 and $345 respectively(from realoem.com). i hope my dealershop is not gonna charge me that much...
and did you get TV function after you installed the camera??

No TV tuner...just the camera image on the NAV screen.

I'll see if I can dig up the part #'s.

My part# is different for the camera which is the first part#...

66-21-0-300-908

although it's the same for the second part#.

Looks like yours is an update on the camera itself...although it looks identical in this picture.

WOW......$700 for the backup camera from BMW...that seems awefully expensive.....WYT?

thanks, Phil.
now i got enough info to fight with the greedy part manager in dealershop.

I hate to hijack the thread but I had a few questions:
1. What is the front camera and what does it do?
2. The backup camera for someone without a TV module which my vehicle does not have, what exactly do you get with that part? Does it include some sort of video module that allows you to display the rear camera image on your nav screen or do you need another part to make it happen? If it includes a video module then it would be same price as the backup camera package from EAS for example.

Thanks,
