Rear View Camera Retrofit (MMI) for BMWs and MINIs

No matter how good of a driver you are, there always comes a time you need a little backup. And there’s no better support than BMW rear view cameras. They help you avoid unexpected damage, park straight to leave room for other drivers, and importantly make you feel confident. After all, they became an obligation on all 2018+ cars produced in the US for a reason.

But the Rear View Camera (MMI) is not just another universal backup camera. It was created specifically for BMWs and MINIs guaranteeing the best integration with car electronics and iDrive systems.

It’s also a go-to option for those drivers who expect more than park assist functionality and want to be compatible with other technological upgrades, including a BMW CarPlay and Android Auto upgrade. Because the factory pre-set features are not the limit.

Image Displayed In Full-Screen

This BMW rear view camera doesn’t use the split-screen camera mode of your car. Instead, to improve your parking experience, its display overrides the iDrive screen when the car is put in reverse whether you have a manual or an automatic transmission. The reverse camera image takes up the full screen, giving a bigger and clearer picture of what’s behind you.

Support Static or Dynamic Parking Lines

That being said, it also helps you adapt to the parking situation by providing static or dynamic parking lines when reversing. Thanks to the parking guidelines feature you’ll see the safe trajectory for your BMW or MINI and easily maneuver between obstructions.

The availability of static or dynamic parking lines depends on your vehicle specifications. Decode your VIN to check options for your car.

Multimedia Features

Our retrofit is ideal for drivers looking for a flexible park assist solution that leaves room for customizing and expanding your vehicle’s features. The BMW backup camera kit includes a Multimedia Interface (MMI) — a BimmerTech original module that makes it easy to add a front view camera and/or one of our mirroring devices (SmartView HD Flex, SmartView Apple TV3 or SmartView Apple TV4).

If you lack Apple CarPlay or Android Auto you may also want to take a look at our CarPlay MMI Prime retrofit for BMWs and MINIs. Thanks to the MMI module bridging multiple in-car technologies you’ll not only get to use your phone apps in your vehicle, but also add the Rear View Camera (MMI) for a much lower price.

Identify your car to find out which add-ons are compatible with your specific BMW.

Compatible With MINIs

If you’re a MINI owner and in search of a MINI Cooper backup camera, this retrofit might be a bull’s eye. Thanks to the presence of the MMI module it’ll open up your 2011+ MINI Cooper for the latest multimedia opportunities.
