Reverse Camera upgrade options?

I have the reverse camera for the F80--ordered option on the car. As many of us know, the camera blows. 2015 BMW X3 camera is light years better than F80's.

Anyone know of options to swap out OEM camera with a camera that has better light sensitivity?

Any other ideas besides coding door lights to come on?

I don't know where you get your misinformation from but the camera on my M3 is much better than just about any other car.

Why would BMW use a different camera manufacturers on their cars? Especially ones that are LIGHT YEARS apart as you put it.

Maybe there is a problem with your car's camera? Mine is awesome and is the best out of all the different brands I've used so far. It's good both in bright light and darkness.

I drove the X3 for a week. Personal experience, not misinformation. Many threads on camera quality issue.
