BMW F30 Front view Camera DIY Retrofit Install

BMW F30 Front view Camera DIY Retrofit Install

Note: Please see my new videos where I installed the camera module and the rearview backup camera: https://youtu.be/vV0XcuZ0-PI and https://youtu.be/vV0XcuZ0-PI

In this video I installed a front view camera module for my BMW F30 2012 3 series and did all the wiring required to route the cable from the FEM module at the passenger side all the way to the front grill:

– Link to Reverse camera installation and wiring and camera module installation with NBT unit https://youtu.be/dLyo1eGP2wU

Link to camera set on eBay (front camera not included by default): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262689576523
Works for other models as well (F1x, F2x, F3x, etc.)

Sorry I don’t do fitting on others’ cars.

No need for 3AG option and do VO coding.

This job requires the following:

– Remove dashboard
– Remove NBT HUto install the camera module
– Install camera module
– Remove interior trim on side door passenger side to reveal the FEM module
– Route a wire from inside the car to the front side under the bonnet all the way to the front grill

Needed for the job:
– Trim removal tool
– Cloth tape for the loom
– Camera module
– Front view camera
– T20 screwdriver
– BMW Car 🙂

How do you access the front camera, do you have shortcuts from the idrive knob or menu to view the front camera?

Did you unplug the wires and twist them and put them both
Back In?

Another Individual says:

Why did you not show the most important part of wiring the power and ground ?

It's the same for an E90?

Do you need the interface if you already have surround view?

Ali Ramjaun says:

Can power not be taken from the front fuse box using a tap fuse connector? This will not require any wire cutting etc.

Nice and very informative. Did you find a solution to your issue where the front camera is not switching automatically? I bought the same kit and the front camera. Planning to do the install in couple of days 🙂 only difference is that I have an automatic.
