I will be pulling out my ACM from my car. For those who don't know what the ACM is, its BMW's OEM version of the idrive video interface that allows you to connect up front and rear cameras, TV, DVD etc. Click the DIY link in my signature to see how it works.

I have a choice of rear cameras for you.

This will go on ebay soon if there is no more interest here. I don't mind if you want to submit offers.

Hi Bruce, I am interested, I have a 2004 530i, will the video look good on my idrive screen or would I have to upgrade my monitor too?

bruce_miranda

You can't (and shouldn't) upgrade the screen because the ACM is a BMW OEM kit designed to work with the OEM screen. Please contact me urgently if you are interested.

Hi Bruce,

I was wondering if this would work on a US spec e60? I wasn't sure if the iDrive needs to be coded or if this would even work since video is not an option on US cars.

bruce_miranda

Works absolutely fine on all cars across the world without coding. ACM was never an option anywhere. Its a retrofit kit provided.

The ACM has now been pulled out of the car completely. The parts look almost new because they are inside the car under the dash. Still available for sale.

Hi Bruce,

In terms of the instructions on how to install, is there any tapping of wires involved? I have opened up all of it before, but have had some tough luck with tapping and playing with wires. Also, how much is shipping to the US?

I'll ask my dealer for a quote for retrofitting this tomorrow.

bruce_miranda

There is no cutting of wires involved in the kit that I am selling even though the ACM instructions expect you to splice the power from the screen power cables. Instead I made up plug and play connectors for that.

Everything else is plug and play.

Shipping to the US will be £25. Whoever wants this needs to act fast, pay day is approaching and atleast 3 people have asked me if I would wait until pay day. My default stance is, the first person to pay get its.

Ahh nice, one more n00b question, it does work when one is driving right? I read through the BMW manual and it says this will only work in parked cars but your installation thread says that you were able to overcome this?
