E46 Reverse Camera

Recommended Posts

I ordered a reversing camera off Ebay for my e46 M3

I knew that it wouldn't fit my convertible but took the risk that I could make it fit. When it arrived it was a simple matter of unscrewing the rear housing and using body tape to mount it in the number plate light hole.

I used this e46 AV cable off Ebay

I got the 12V relay for switching the earth from Jaycar.

The hardest part was feeding the wires through the flexible tube from the boot lid.

It was a fiddly job but I made sure it was all done neatly - it took about 7 hours all up but was pleasantly surprised when it all worked. I didn't realise all the parking guides appear overlaid on the picture.

Yep, the first time I've seen an actual picture on the screen. And I still have AV in and out so will install a media player also.
