The rear camera is for backing up the car. At night, car's reverse light comes on when shifting into R. So, you should be able to see the object behind your car with the camera. I don't know how good is the camera when operating at night. One thing for sure, it won't be as good as in the day time.

Hi Harry,
What an honour that you call me the expert
I am not sure about retrofitting night vision I do know for a fact that you can hook up to 4 Camera's to the ACM module which you can select using I-drive even while driving. The camera's simply connect to a video+ and a video- signal on the ACM module. My rear view camera came with a small converter to change from 12v to the cameras own 6.5v.
Controlling which video input is shown on the monitor is all done via the ACM module (the ACM module changes the monitor to camera when I engare reverse automatically).
Do you know the partno# of the night vision camera ? That would really be a cool add-on.

It's OK. The reversing light provide sufficient light to see what's behind you.

I just found the rear view camera retrofit kit which was installed by Midget in ebay. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-Genuine...90018QQtcZphoto
The title of the item stated for E46 and E39. I asked the seller for the part number of this retrofit kit and they matched with what Midget had: 66210406999 Converter, 66210412010 Camera.
It's price for $900. We don't have to wait for ACM module for the rear view camera.
