I coded it myself with the seller's instructions.

The kit comes with a cable so I'm assuming they could remotely code it for you. This mod, in theory, is pretty easy however if you don't have access to a laptop to code with and time to piddle I'd recommend taking it to an installer. It took me about a month to get mine going due to parts swapping and shipping from Europe. Hopefully an installer would have spares on hand if you were to get a bad harness like me.

Assuming that cutting the rear trunk lid is not an issue, can anyone advise what OEM parts and coding are required to achieve the integration Marius showed?
I really like the dynamic grid lines as this is about as "OEM" as it can get given it was not an OEM option. Thank you. |

Oem module vs emulator
Quote:
I would like to understand the difference in cost for going this route as it provides full grid line capability versus the bimmertech solution. I don't mind a little extra elbow grease to mount the camera if the finished install is closer to "oem" (at least for a different bmw model as the e90 never had the camera). Are we talking an extra $50 to get the dynamic grid lines? Or $500? Perhaps I can get bimmertech to provide the install along with the actual oem module including dynamic grid lines. Thank you. |

I used BimmerTech on my '11 E92 and it was completely plugnplay. No cutting of any kind needed.

Love the Bimmertech kit. After installing dozens of these as their So-Cal dealer, it's probably the best retrofit kit out there.

Thank you, this is exactly the information I was after. An extra $500 for the dynamic grid lines and overlay equipment plus time to source parts plus coding. The plug and play bimmertech appears to be a good balance of functionality and cost. I'll have to wait to get those extra features in a 435i someday Your modification is a work of art though, nice job! |

Not a hard install physically...
Quote:
Hardest part for me was finding space for all the jumper harnesses and power relay that have to fit behind the head unit. BMW does not leave any spare room in the dash like on other cars I've owned.

The emulator can handle Nav, Voice, PDC, and Camera. Anytime you add a new feature that requires the emulator, you will need a different set. Some of the vendors here have a trade-in option, you can contact whoever you bought it from. Quote:

Yeah and then the head-unit, there's not much room to work back there but it's not bad.

Same for me. I purchased this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to fish the wire through the boot. hpc3 is right, there's very little room to stuff the wiring harness behind the head unit. Good luck.

Dynamic Parking Lines?
Hi guys and gals. First time posting as a new owner of a '11 E90 M3 as of yesterday. Compared to my old 3 series, the amount of electronics is almost daunting. On my drive home, I had a heck of a time trying to figure out how to turn off the music (some hip hop music from the previous owner which I like, but I wanted to focus on the engine sounds on my first drive) and turning off the navigation. But I figured it out and I digress....
Some poster above mentioned that the dynamic parking lines (DPL) is close to OEM as you can get. But any thoughts on having the DPLs? Any pros and cons (other than the benjamin and a half extra charge)? I don't have any parking sensors on my m3. |

I'm interested. Dynamic parking lines huh? I didn't get any lines with mine which is okay considering the size of the screen. Gives me a clear view. Just make a new post.

My bad, looks like most are the straight lines. I love the cam and the DPL's. Have you done the install yet?

Nope. Just ordered it so it'll be here next week sometime. They're apparently shipping from overseas but so far communication with him has been spot on.
