Here is a quick (while testing) picture of the kit on my car



Everything should be ready to go by the end of the month!

would be absolutely awesome if you could manage to rotate that PDC image by 90 degrees clockwise and put it at the left end of the screen... I know you sad it can't be done but maybe wonders do happen...

It can be rotated by 90 degrees and placed in the Right part of the screen but it won't be a transparent image.

that would be perfect in my view, I presume it will not cover part of the camera picture, i.e. camera picture will be squeezed a bit to the left to free up space for the PDC?

and also, can the user switch between the different layouts on the interface (not necessarily everytime when using the camera, but just in case someone changes his mind at some point), or is that something which is set in stone so to say when the interface is connected to the idrive?

it could be done but it will require some time, knowledge and the special programing keyboard

Here is some update guys:

Today I spent good 5-6 hours installing it on my car ... Since I was doing it first time, I didn't want to rush and was taking my time ...

I installed today the rear view camera and installed the multimedia unit inside the dashboard ...


Here are some pictures from today
