Review on 📷 LYNN Trunk handle Backup Camera HD Night Vision Rear View with 170 Degree Super Wide Angle - Replacement for BMW X1 X3 X4 X5 X6 F18 F35/F45 F46 F48 F80 520Li 525Li 530i 535Li by Matthew Fadoul

Excellent rear view camera, fits well with the standard OEM trunk handle position for the BMW F30 series (and possibly many other BMWs). Installation was easy thanks to the secondary MMI/Smartlink interface. Excellent camera resolution. I've looked at Bimmertech's much more expensive options, but this and the generic aftermarket MMI do the same for a quarter of the price. The included instructions are poorly written, so here's a quick guide. Note that this doesn't work for everyone, but it worked fine in my application. As previously mentioned I had a media interface which I purchased here from Revain to add CarPlay/Android Auto functionality to the car and this camera integrated seamlessly into that system. Install the camera in place of the trunk handle and route the video cable to the dashboard. There are many videos on the internet to help you with this. Routing the cable is a lot easier than it seems.2. This is where MMI really shines. This makes powering your camera a simple process and eliminates the need to cut into any part of your factory wiring. On the dash, simply connect the red wire coming from the video wire you just routed to the dedicated 12V backup camera wire from your MMI wiring harness. Then connect the video cable itself to the dedicated rear camera input jack. In the trunk, connect the red wire of the video cable to the red wire for the camera power supply. The black/ground wire does not need to be connected to anything.3. Set up the camera in your MMI setup menu and you're done. When you put it in reverse, the camera will automatically appear on the factory screen.
