Integrated Rear View Camera for BMW 3 Series

Description

Integrated Rear View Camera Upgrade for BMW 3 Series / M3

Make reversing your BMW 3 Series or M3 easier, safer, and more precise with this integrated rear view camera system. Designed to work seamlessly with your vehicle’s centre display, this upgrade provides a clear, wide-angle view behind the car as soon as you select reverse.

Because the camera mounts discreetly above the rear number plate, it preserves the clean look of your BMW while still delivering valuable parking assistance. Whether you’re backing into a tight space, reversing out of a driveway, or manoeuvring in low light, this system gives you greater awareness and more confidence behind the wheel.

In addition, the full-colour image and high-quality CCD sensor help you spot obstacles that mirrors alone can miss. As a result, you gain better control and reduce the risk of reversing damage.

How It Works

As soon as you engage reverse gear, the system automatically switches the camera feed onto your BMW’s centre display screen. The rear handle camera then delivers a live, full-colour image with a wide 170° viewing angle, so you can see more of the area behind your vehicle.

Furthermore, the high-quality CCD image sensor performs well in darker conditions, while automatic white balance helps maintain a clear and natural image. Since the system integrates with the factory-style display, it feels smooth, intuitive, and consistent with the rest of the vehicle.
