Retrofit front camera?
Ordered X5 without parking assistant option, so no front camera. Is there any way to retrofit it (not interested in the 360 degree view)?

Check out Bimmer-Tech. They have a retrofit that's aftermarket. Unless you have lots of cash to burn, probably not worth going the factory route because you'll need to buy lots of stuff (modules, wiring harnesses, cameras, mirrors, etc) and coding to get it to work. I don't think there's a just front camera factory option so you'll likely be forced to do 360 view or the module will throw errors that it doesn't see all of the cameras.

I'm going to check out the Bimmer-Tech Front View Camera Retrofit for my 2022 X5 xdrive40i M-Sport (minus the parking assist package) and hope for the best. I'll come back when I can give some actual feedback. |

Hello,
I had this issue too, tech said it is not possible because the control unit is different for the 360 view and the standard rear view cam. Actually it is possible but you would need a new unit and all the cameras, two new mirrors and a mile of wiring. Cost would be extreme. Aftermarket could be a good alternative. We got used to live without those now.. |
