Adding A Backup Camera To A M4

Hey guys I chose not to splurge and get the Executive Package on my M4 due to the 5K cost. I was wondering if it were possible to still add the stock backup to the car after the fact? If so any guides you could point me to? Thanks!

There are a number of reverse cam retro-fit kits available. I believe BimmerTech, AlekShop, etc sells them for the F30/32. It should be the same for the F80/82. They're not cheap, but you're paying for the coding so that it works smoothly with the OEM functions. It's a lot cheaper than the Exec Pack tho There are DIY's about installing it, again on the F30 and E90 forums. It's very easy if you have some experience doing this kind of thing (pulling off trim pieces, removing the radio). You could also have a shop do it.

I found the camera but wasnt able to find a guide on the retrofit. Any help would be great!

Looks like there is no "retro" kit available for the back up camera. However you would need to purchase a new Control module, 5-600$ plus the back up camera which aanother 5-600$. But like many have said other aftermarket companies would be best

Your video makes it look so easy. I just know I break every single trim clip from the trunk to the dashboard. Do you all have a list of qualified install shops? I live in Atlanta GA.
