Ok, read both manuals. Definitely a bit of work. I wouldn't take the bumper off as I don't think that's necessary. Other than that it's just mostly the usual running of wires from back to console and front to console. Just time consuming more than anything. I also see some shortcuts that could be taken. They also fail to mention that they are doing that on an E90 where the rear seats fold down so for E92s it will be a bit more time involved. All-in-all I hope it's worth the effort. My biggest concern is the dash pieces. I have all the tools needed but prying on plastic parts always gives me the chills.

Ooh nice. I saw the real cf trim on the frozen silver car at the vpc and it looks sharp! Are you getting the center console part modified or does BMW finally have a sku for one with the edc/power/dtc cutouts available?

I actually got the full Autoteknic kit which includes a center console piece.

I want a front camera so I can park really close to curbs and those concrete stops without having to worry about "readjusting" my front bumper. Don't really need the rear camera since we have PDC, but figured... "why not?" |

PDC sucks IMO (even though it is an option on my 2012 as well). Have it in the 650 that I'm driving and it's annoying plus you never really know how close you are to something before you would touch. |

I'm not kidding I'm soooo spoiled I used to be able to park cars without worry...now if I don't have the camera I'm like "crap..." Double edge sword ! lol Get the Front and rear! I use the front to make sure my lip doesn't hit the curb, as my car is a little low (not much, but enough where it would hit my lip if I parked too close)

If you have Front camera on and putting your car in Reverse, the module will automatically switch to the Rear camera. If you connect your car to AV1, you can go to the Front camera by pressing MENU button on iDrive for 2 sec. The Rear cam will appear when you put your car in Reverse. It's a pretty simple kit and very easy to use. |

All E92 cars have folding seats. It won't be any more work than on E90 ... You simply need to remove the side leather cushion by pulling it forward and it will be good to remove the RT seat cushion as well ... Takes about 2-3 min at the most. Aleks.

EAS did the work on my new Z4 and M3. Z4 has the Aleks kit, and the M3 has the EAS VSM kit To me, I can't tell any difference in the kits. They both work great

Alekshop install manual for 128i convertible
Hi Folks. I want to buy and install the Alekshop multimedia interface and backup camera on my wife's 2010 128i convertible. But before I tackle it, I want to determine if it is something I can do myself, or hire out to a professional. I can't download the 1-series-specific manual from the Alekshop site as it is password protected. Does anyone have the password, or a copy of the manual you can post? I'm particularly interested in what dash panels and components I need to remove from the 128i convertible to reach the required connections. Thanks in advance...
