My SA said they should be able to do it just fine though. He said their hourly rate is $140 per hour and the instructions say it should take about 1.5 hours.

Hey guys! I ordered the BMW dash cam from ECS and will hopefully get it delivered this week. I'll try and do a DIY guide and take pics when I do the installation. Called my local dealership and also getbmwparts.c#m and was told the BMW dash cam is not available for purchase via US BMW parts dealers right now. It is up to each individual service mgr. to make the call if they would like to cover the install. I have no gotten a call back saying if they would do it yet but the install seems pretty straightforward with the BMW installation instructions. I'll follow up later this week. I need something to keep me occupied with the car in PA during the winter! LCI taillights are in, Bavsound subs are in, next is this!

So the instructions say 1.5 hours for both front and rear camera install. What's the going rate at BMW dealers now a days? $150/hr? So around 225 correct? I'm curious if it truly takes 1/5 hours. Keep up posted on DIY. I'm VERY interested in this!

I would attempt the install myself honestly if I wasn't so freakin scared of routing the wire for the rear camera. So many panel removals and potentials for broken clips and added rattles.

By the way, did you install the rear camera too? How did you route the wire?

I just got my car back from having the 1200 mile service done. I had them do the camera install at the same time. It went great. They did break a clip on the A-pillar trim but they ordered a replacement part and will install once it comes in. The charged me $190 plus tax ($208 total). I think this is a great deal to avoid the headache of tearing the car up.

if only the front cam was the size of the rear cam, and it had a little head unit you could stash in the glovebox. I'd happily use my phone to access it. It just seems like having a screen on the back makes it
- bigger - more noticable/less discreet - more likely to have your car broken into because some idiot thinks its a satnav. |

FYI to anyone looking at this. I was originally dismayed that the BMW software would not run on my Mac. Well I found a freeware (restricted) software that will read the files!! Check out http://dashcamviewer.com/
