Hi!
No, I guess rock chips could hurt the lens if you are unlucky... It is fitted in the spoiler and it is the same size and shape as the fog lights which also are mounted in the spoiler. I never had any broken fog lights so i guess the chances of breaking the camera are quite small but you never know... If you want i can take some pictures of the installation so you can see how she ... (sorry i mean it of course.. ) is mounted?
Regarding retrofitting i honestly cannot say anything. My technical skills are - to say the least - small... You will have to ask someone else about that i?m afraid.

Here are some pics of how it looks in the front spoiler, and one picture of how it looks during the day in the screen, just to give you an idea of how it looks. I haven?t got any pictures of the camera/wife running at night yet, but i will add that a.s.a.p.
Take care!

Hello,
I was a bit surprised when i read this thread.. It seems you guys cannot get night vision on your cars? My new car (e60 535d) was delivered to me (in sweden) april 5 with night vision. It was built in march, week 11.
Regards
Lunne

Wow thanks for posting those pics. The first ones I have seen on the nightvision camera mounting. I am having the aero kit installed at the VPC and I was curious if they thought of adapting the Bumper for the night vision camera. The cam is way larger than I had expected.

Is this really thermal imaging - can it be souped up to see through walls or detect heat sources etc...
If it could see through walls it would be totally 'Knight Rider' I always wanted a Knight Industries Two Thousand
Just reading some stuff about US authorities using thermal imaging to detect cannabis farms peoples homes and beaching their fourth amendment rights.

I thought the BMW night vision was more of a hybrid system rather than thermal imaging.
