@@FritzRamos personally I wanted a 2 series but the guy at the dealership told me to test drive the m235i and he also mentioned it was the only straight six that is truly underrated I had picked mine up with 56,000 kilometers, also my most important question is can my stock charge pipe still crack if I only go stage 1 bootmod3?
Thanks bro for this video, a friend of mine installed head unit with camera on his BMW e90 everything worked well for the first year no issues, this year the camera works sometimes say no signal. What might be the problem, thanks in advance.
‘16 528i with camera that turns on periodically only. Sometimes will turn on after putting car in reverse several times. Faulty camera? is it necessary to remove the trunk liner to replace camera since it pops out, or just makes it easier? Thanks!
I liked it. In my case the camera had fallen off ( in the cavity ) with all connections being intact. I plan to use a quality glue to reposition the camera and used glue to fix in place. I do not see any brown tabs to think I need to take care of that. Better idea?
Hi is there a way to sort of code the guidelines? I've got a reverse camera installed but since it is sitting on the right side, I am having to reposition the car more on the right. I would love for it to be accurate, like in the middle of the lines. Thanks ☺️
Hey Fritz, love the channel I have 2018 m2 and my back up works great except when I back I don't get any beeping to know if I'm getting close to hitting. Do you know how I could fix this? Thanks
Hello Fritz and thank u for al the Bimer videos. I have a question, mine is a 2013 328i w/no backup camera. If I buy one from ebay, like u did, can I buy a Chinese made cable and base? Do u know if it would work. Did u get a Chinese made cable for ur car?
My main camera issue is the white car and bled out dark camera at night. Generally have been shutting off headlights in order to see camera in reverse. I assumed it was the backup lights causing the image to be bled out but maybe it could be reflection off the white bumper
So my camera went out couple months ago? Its just all black on the screen but the sensors still work. Before the camera went completely black sometimes it would go in and out and finally one day it just stopped. I have a BMW 328i 2016 Do you think a cable is loose or it malfunctioned? Is it possible that there is a fuse that backs it up? Just going through suggestions, what do you think I should do? Maybe a new camera also? Would love your feedback appreciate your videos!!!
Hey Fritz - I am having backup camera problems. My son installed the Apple Carplay on my 2014 M235i 6spd manual trans. I had intermittent issues of the camera not working afterward and now it doesn't work at all. He said it may be dip switch settings? Got any clues before I check the install? BTW, I like your presentation skills. You ought to do this for a living. Half the people that do their channel presentations are unprepared or sound like they are on something that makes them sound weird.
Hey I gotta question maybe you might know I bought an after market android/apple car display for my bmw f30, Back up camera isn’t working when l reverse it goes dark and starts blinking…When to the factory settings and try every combination possible.. do you know what else can l try ? Combination meaning the camera settings from default to cbvs l believe it’s called..
How do you get the camera image full screen, without PDC???? I don't like the split screen or the PDC "beeping". Every time I turn off the PDC using the button on the center console, the backup camera turns off at the same time.
Is it necessary to disconnect the battery? My rear camera worked perfectly fine for 2 years. Since 2023 sometimes the camera shows “no signal” and sometimes it works. Unfortunately now the camera doesn’t work at all. I need to check up all the connections…
I just installed a used camera to replace mine because the exposure was blown out. The replacement camera did the same thing, so I found this video and adjusted the settings. I'm an effing idiot sometimes.
I have a 2014 335i, compared to a newer Honda that I have the picture looks pixelated to me. Will changing for a 2017 help with that or am I at mercy to the I drive resolution? I have the Tech package
The quality will never be 4k good, but you could try to code in the better screen resolution if you have the hardware to support it. ua-cam.com/video/8NrPVNs2-Cc/v-deo.html
Interesting video Just bought a M340i about 2 weeks ago and replaced my "old" 440 BMW with it. But I got so disappointed with the quality of the camera. At night or in a garage the picture gets so dark, that you don't see anything. That wasn't the case with my old model Hope my dealer can fix it. Don't know if it is a similar problem as in this video
A question for you: I have a 328i 2013. I recently replaced the head unit due to the original was broken. The part was from eBay but really brought back the iDrive. However I just drove today first time and noticed the reverse camera is not shown. This camera was factory installed and it worked well even when the iDrive was down. My question to you is: do you think I am now losing the camera is due to my installation of the replacement head unit (eg connection loosing) or the replaced head unit needs coded? Thank you.
No coding should be necessary. When you are in reverse to you just get a generic picture of your car? If so hit the center of the idrive button. The back up camera may just be switched off
@@FritzRamos no pic at all. Now I connected BimmerCode and it shows coding error with headunit. I believe this is the issue. Now do u have info how to remove the previous information from a used headunit when it is installed? Thx.
@@lupus.dei. sadly I’m not done with this problem yet. I’m pretty sure it is the coding issue with the camera after replacing that head unit. I’m rumbled at the stage installing the coding program E-SYS or another one (forgot name). These programs work only with Windows OS and need to be in older versions (?). I’m having iOS computers in my hand. So finding and matching windows laptop and download the right modules become obstacle to me.
Hello, I have a 2015 BMW 435i grand coupe. My backup camera works fine everytime and the image is crystal clear, but Everytime I shift into reverse and the camera comes on I get an error message that says "back up camera malfunction." I'm not seeing any malfunction so this is pretty confusing. I've googled a few things but couldn't resolve this. It's only a mild annoyance because it still works, but I'd still like to fix this. Any ideas on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
My back up cameras was stolen . As easily as it was for you to pry out the unit from the body was how it was removed. I’m guessing there’s a new market on eBay for sales of used ones …
So my 435i has the backup camera & side cameras, i go in reverse & my backup camera doesnt turn on.. I have the camera option on the middle part as well, i click it & just the side cameras turn on.
Super helpful video man I have just recently started doing lots to my white m235i, thanks to your vids.
Happy to help. What made you lean into the m235i vcs a different BMW?

My camera has red and green blown exposures. Might replace as well, even when you turn off the red and green aid lines.

Good morning
How did you install it? it's a box or a screen thanks
Excellent video. Having an issue with my camera iris (no video) just the parking lines. Now I know how to fix. Thanks again.
Awesome. What ended up being the culprit of the issue?
What was the issue mine does that and at times flickers bad like an old tv
Thanks man

Just bought a 2016 BMW X1 and have no rear back up camera
My rear camera is completely black/ gray and I don’t now how to program it it a 2016 bmw7401 can you pls help me
My camera seems to freeze when I put the car back into drive or park. Not sure if this is normal or not. 2021 BMW 330i.
Like a slight hesitation? I noticed that too. Mine lasts for about half a second and goes bad to the idrive menu. Is you car still under warranty?
@@FritzRamos yes it is. Only about 2 months.
I have a Bmw 530i xdrive and when I’m parking the rear camera is all black I can’t see nothing. Any help?
Thanks
The only time that has happened to me is if the trunk is open or if the camera is switched off in the idrive menu system
2014 428 rear camera not working. Replace a used one and still not working.
Hi i have a lroblem with the parking lines that dont work how can i fix this?
and it is on but doesn t do anithing
I got a rear camera malfunction error today and I got the car less than a month. I have a 2022 330e
Should be under warranty
My bmw backup camera looks to be upside down. But when I had it checked they said camera was placed correctly.
The image is upside down or the physical camera appears to be upside down?
So my 435i has the backup camera & side cameras, i go in reverse & my backup camera doesnt turn on.. I have the camera option on the middle part as well, i click it & just the side cameras turn on.
I think if you keep pressing it, it'll cycle through the different cameras
My car is displayed Horizontally how to make it vertical
The CAMERA DOES NOT BEEP WHEN YOU ARE TO CLOSE TO AN OBJECT
IF THE CAMERA DON'T WARN YOU WHEN YOU ARE TO CLOSE, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM.
My camera isn't showing up at all.
You might need to check the fuse
My backup camera stopped working
Screen is black
