Igor_M5 Do you still do installs in the Tri-state area? Just purchased a 2018 M550i Xdrive and interested in retrofitting the surround-view.

I did the Surround view reteofit on a few cars. If you have only rearview camera, the wireing is completly different and the camera is not the same.

Reverse camera is ICAM2-R and when you use surround view all 4 cameras need to be ICAM2-S. The connector is also not the same.

The retrofit process is the same wheater you have the rear view camera or not.

For the retrofit you need :

-OEM wireing harness
- 3x ICAM-S connector
- 4x ICAM2-S camera or 2 + 2 compleate mirrors
- iCAM2 Module
- front and rear camera holder

Wireing harness I usually buy new and everything else used.

BMW G30 Rear camera modules only

This is mine with rear camera only from factory.

Thanks, do you have an instruction or manual you can share? I was not able to find any help here locally.

After that, I need to find someone to program it for me, possibly remotely since there is nobody locally.

I really appreciate it.

I have done the retrofit and everything works great. Only when I press the parktronic button it’s doesn’t show pictures on the screen. The parktronic sister works beeping, button lights working but it doesn’t brings pictures on the screen.

If someone can help me with remote coding I will be thankful.

I want to do the retrofit on a LCI as well, from what I understood, the only diferrence between the non-LCI and LCI is that for the LCI you need to change the whole front grill, as the camera now resides in it, not in the plastic cover thingie that is separate in the front grill from the pre-LCI, is that right?
