Looking for E39 rear backup camera and I landed on this one and I'm glad I did. This one fits and the camera quality is good. I was able to run the wire no problem.

Old BMWs (pre 2012) tend to lack a head unit that includes a back up camera. Adding an aftermarket bluetooth emulator/car play device like Mr12volt really brings the old tech up to date. If using an emulator, this is a relativly straighforward install. Connect the rca yellow cable to the rca yellow input on the mr12volt, run power and trigger from mr 12 volt to the camera on a seperate power line. Connect the black wire off the camera to the chassis as a ground, then the red to the power you ran from mr12v dash to trunk. Then take the trigger line you ran with the power and tap into the brake light (in my case #4 on wire harness black and violet 2008 E93 M3) to trigger the reverse light (this is on a manual that cant use the canbus). Tuck and zip tie wires along the trunk frame to the pivot point on the convertable top and you are good to go. Picture quality is 480p but all I needed. The fit is just fine, may take some fiddling to get it to work. As others have said gluing the rubber cover keeps it on there, but may not be needed, If you do decide to glue be sure you dont get a bunch of glue dried around the edges as that may impact the fit during install.

Install went easy, cable routing was the hardest part - just tearing the car apart haha. I did install a relay and noise idolator (better safe than sorry) and image is crisp and clear. The handle portion fits just like OEM and there were no real issues on QA. Enjoying seeing what behind me now!

Works. It's nearly a prefect fit, but the video quality isn't that great.

Never got a chance to see the picture. It fit fine in the space and I was surprised it still had the button inside. Onto the 1 star review... They obviously did 0 R&D on putting this is an e92 because the connector will not fit through the factory pass through from the lid to inside the trunk. The tube is simply too small for the giant 4 pin connector they use. Do yourself a HUGE favor and don't waste your time with this one. The connector WILL NOT FIT. Hopefully enough people will not buy this to screw up their penny pinchers that chose the bulky connector to save a few bucks. 👍 What is your explanation for my picture? How could you have installed this? I can't push the weather tight pass through back in and on top of that the wire is about a foot short like others have said.

This camera also came with a rely as a extra gift which. Camera clarity is great. The install was easy. I wish I went here first vs going to eBay. L

If this is for ease of use i would not recommend this product. Unless you want cut splice your original harness to solder on to this item you bought. The his isn’t plug and play. The reverse camera shows opposite sides vs. what is actually being displayed on the camera. Ie: car 🚗 is on the left and 🚙 is on the right. When you look at what’s being displayed on the head units it shows 🚙 of the left and car 🚗 on the right.

Fits into the factory trunk latch perfectly. Has a relatively decent angle with minimally obstructed view area. If you get noise in your video, it's likely you tapped into your reverse lights and are running LED bulbs. Either add a 32v 1000uF low ESR capacitor, or get a line noise reducer and watch the noise disappear. If you've tapped into your reverse lights, or any other source of power, then don't worry about the red pigtail at the RCA input by the head unit; this is an optional way to send power to the camera if you haven't powered it through other means. Alternatively, you can use this pigtail to send power to the camera should your head unit support it.
