Hello members!

I got the rear camera... Do I have to get the ACM now?

I have the TV option (was told by a friend with TV is simpler - is it true?).


I would prefer to don't waste more money in the ACM module.

Thanks and cheers!

You need 'something' that will allow you to connect the camera to the idrive screen.

Something can be
1. MOST interface
2. idrive interface
3. ACM

Oh, no!
So what, at the end? ACM, to be OEM?
As you know I have the Dension... Can be..?




Edit: thanks for answering.

Was told by a man with TV...

The TV option does not help. It just reduces the fact that you dont need to buy a video module. For Dension you will need the Dension video unit.

Ok, so I'll get the ACM!
At the end will everything be automatic? Move the lever to R and image will appear and move again to D and disappear?

Correct the ACM will automatically give you the image.
