Surround View / Front Camera Retrofit

[JWK170]

Has anyone done a front camera / surround view retrofit?

If so, did you go with OEM parts or through non-OEM vendors like BimmerTech?

I don't necessarily need the surround view, but it would be nice to have. I do prefer to have the front view and I see BimmerTech has a kit for about $600 with the camera and multimedia module. Anyone running this setup?

If you go OEM front camera, is there a camera version that is not the nightvision option? I keep seeing that as the only camera option when I look up cameras for the front bumper.

Lastly, if I went with an OEM front bumper camera if there is a non-nightvision version, would I need a module or would it plug in to the multimedia device handling the rear camera?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hahaha. Come on man! If you were from Philly or Boston, I could see your hate for Pittsburgh.

But I get it since you are more than likely a Leafs fan. Just because Kessel is a performer with the Pens, don't hate. Your team had quite a run last year and looking good this year.

Thanks for the link. Much appreciated!

You want to retrofit front camera only?

You cant do front camera only. You look for aftermarket solutions
