170 Degree Car Trunk Handle Backup Camera Rear View HD Camera Parking Backup Camera for BMW E60 E61 E70 E71 E72 E82 E88 E84 E90 E91 E92 E93 X1 X5

This Backup Camera works perfectly on my 2011 BMW 335is convertible, (BMW e93). Installation took me less than hour, took me longer to run the cable from the trunk to the front. For my application, it was a snug fit, it almost did fit in its original location, but I played around with the blue/black cable and the angle in which I was inserting the camera into the trunk hole. After a few minutes, I was able to secure it properly into the mounting hole and sits snug. The video quality is very clear with no issues, the view angle sits a little too low for my taste, but it does allow me to see a wide angle and what's behind me. Therefore, I gave it 5 stars. For the price, it does its job well, the picture is clear, and it installed with ease.

Good fit and look. Has a good camera but I have an issue with the video quality because no matter what I do it has lines across it like a bad signal or bad camera I’m not sure. It has a good trunk release button and looks original on my BMW. It’s easy to install.

Not bad quality, I wish the image little bit nicer, before I order this one I ordered similar to this with double the price and I installed it and the image looks so clear and nice but it didn't last more than 30 minutes and I return it for refund thene I decided to go with this one and its a lot easy to install and nice for the price, it can do the job well, but don't expect Crystal clear you get what you pay for! I hope the seller can work on something like this but a lot better image quality and HD i will definitely replace the one I just got.

I plugged everything in. Made sure there was voltage through the cable via a voltage meter. The 4 pin male connector only goes in part ways, doesn't lock at all and falls out of the female connector. I don't think it goes deep enough to make contact, no signal shown on display. I tried using the filter to stabilize the voltage but still no signal, that leaving the 4pin connection. Solution may be to shave off the female connector but I did not want to damage the product and nobody should need to do that. Manual cables did not look like the actual cables given. Instructions had typos in it. Looks like it was translated using Google translate. Camera however, fits perfectly in the hole. Handle works when clicking. Ordered a replacement and same problem. The 4 pin does not reach the pins all the way on the female end resulting in no signal.

Definitely has better resolution than other cameras. Much less pixelation. Others have noticable pixelation on lines, this one doesn't. Camera uses a narrow and small 4 pin connector about 6 feet long, making it very suitable for 91 hatch which requires more cable length than E90 Sedan, E92 coupe, and E93 convertible. Narrow connector makes it easier to snake through the panels all the way next to the battery. Rest of the extension wires are easily run up to the front. Make one extra wire to run from the reverse light of the E9x BMW to the switch on video unit, because this camera prefers own dedicated power 9 to 14v DC to show without noise. Best to use a relay triggered by reverse light. The handle switch and mounting tab for switch won't clear the hatch. Remove the switch from handle, trim 2mm off the tab where switch was mounted, reglue the switch after handle is installed into place.

It works, when connected to the battery. Install is decently easy, hooking up isn’t fun. The camera randomly doesn’t work, but when it does it is pretty nice, but I don’t think I would buy it again.

Works well. Great image. However, camera image will be off center and you need to adjust for the image being off a bit.

For the price this is a decent way to add a backup camera. Let me try to address some of the issues I see in other comments. Fitment: the rubber gasket on the edge is kind of loose. I just got the gasket in place and got the camera lined up with the opening. A good solid push with both hands on the outside edges both too and bottom got the camera to install without issue. Power hookup, since this only works with aftermarket head units I recommend using the amp turn on and a relay to hook this up. This way the camera is powered on anytime the head unit is on. The run a wire from the reverse light to the head unit to signal the head unit when you are in reverse. Most bmws already have a reverse signal in the dash so that may not even be necessary. Camera image quality: yea it has about what you would expect for the price. Viewing angle is not as claimed for sure. And the detail isn’t great. This works fine for seeing behind your car, but it’s not good at helping predict where the sides of your car are. The grid lines are useless for this. And the viewing angle is too low for most aftermarket head units grid lines too. I was also impressed at how long the wiring was, this was helpful for install.
