      Between the video and the written instructions, many customers with pretty modest DIY skills have managed to complete this install at home. It only takes a little perseverance. But we're happy to recommend any of our installation partners for those who prefer not to tackle the job themselves: www.bimmer-tech.net/page-installers

      Yes, you can enable the PDC for both the front and rear cameras if your car comes with sensors.

    Maybe you can help me out, I have a 2011 Z4 and I bought it a year ago and I noticed that when I had my car off even for a day or two I don't drive The Amber indicator light next to my park shift always stays lit The light that's next to "P" in the park position it always stays on and I heard it's supposed to go off about 10 minutes later but it always stays on, I'm scared it's going to kill my battery, is this normal?

      You can lock your car with the keys, put them at least 15 meters away from the vehicle, and after 15 minutes the car will be fully locked. Then check if this light is still ON if so It will be better to take the car to a BMW dealer to have it physically diagnosed. Please note that if you unlock your car, open a door or the trunk this light can turn on again.

    Does it work without installing the rear camera? Just to use the apple car play only ?

    • @bimmer-tech
      @bimmer-tech  Před 3 měsíci

      Hey! Those products are sold separately. If you want just a CarPlay, you can order MMI Prime or PRO and then if you want a camera for the MMI, you can get it as and add-on in our shop!
      Cheers!

    I contacted your Orlando facility, and they said this could not be done on my 2015 Z4. What's the deal?

    No way that fit behind the head unit. No one says that the worst part of all is placing the MMI somewhere.

    • @bimmer-tech
      @bimmer-tech  Před 6 měsíci

      It does fit and it's pretty easy job to put it there :)

      I had to put it behind the glove box.

    I have a 2008 3.0si
    The whole reason I bought the car is to escape all the technology that consumes me for the other 95% of my life.
    God forbid I have to turn my head or talk to the person sitting next to me.
