Anyone else also having an issue with Bimmer Retrofit Rearview Camera

Is anyone else experiencing any issues with Bimmer Retrofit rearview camera?

I have messaged few members on this forum those were having issues with electrical interference on the screen and delayed (4-5 seconds) time for the picture to show up.

I have installed mine 2 weeks ago (after waiting for 3 weeks to receive my unit) and my unit stopped working after about 3 days. It worked for 3 days with extremely noticeable delay for the picture (over 4-5 seconds after you put your gear in Rear) and then all of sudden the picture stopped showing up on the screen. It came back for one day just randomly and since then it stopped working again.

I got it all checked out by my mechanic this weekend and they found no errors with the wiring and install. They assume there may be some coding / signal errors in the processor itself.

Let me know if anyone else had a similar issue before.



Thanks

I had an issue with the audio cutting in and out. I paid to return it to them for repair. Tried it again and nothing. I'm receiving 400 of 455 because of shipping fees and credit card fees.

In all I paid my friend to install it and remove it. I paid shipping to Canada twice.


To say the least I'm pissed. They're the worst and their refund policy is absurd.

Check out the rear view camera DIY thread over here:

https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1005301

Search for my post on that thread - I posted links to everything I bought to get the job done, was fairly easy and it works great. Haven't had a single issue with it so far.

Diy a camera install that shit is so easy, buy the trunk release handle camera and wire it in, the coding is less than 5 lines.
