Low res to high res backup camera retrofit
I have an older version (low res) backup camera in my 09 X6 and I want to change it to the newer, high resolution version. Has anyone done this retrofit end-to-end? What is all that's required (other than obtaining high-res backup camera) hardware wise and then what coding is required? Will i have to replace a controlling module as well?

To go the DIY route I believe you are going to need to add a new video module to the factory harness to accept a new video source... I did this to my X5 and worked great.
You will need to add a NavTool or similar plus the new carmera... http://www.navtool.com/bmw_X6_2008-2009.aspx For the camera I used a high quality Boyo.... Very happy with the results.. good luck. |

I may be mistaken but I believe the issue is the incompatibility of your 2009 CCC with the 2010+ camera's.. Anything can be done if you through enough money at it but I believe you would need to swap out your CCC for the 2010 + CIC and that is an expensive endeavour...

Thanks for your feedback; however, I am still unsure whether I will need just a high-res backup camera to replace mine or also new control module for it
