Add a reversing camera and upgrade the screen size?

[thedesignboy]

I seen on ebay some camera kits ~£200 that you can add to your existing head unit? Any one here had any experience or suggest a way to go?

I also dislike the tiny screen - can that be swapped or is it a whole world of pain to do this?

Have you got navigation, or just the iDrive?

nav too - will it work?
Its the 2007 idrive so guessing its not up to much tricks.

Would love to swap in a bigger screen as my last car makes this one tiny to use.

cheers!

The later CIC drive system will have a good go at breaking your bank to install. 

It can be done, but it's far from simple.  It requires a new computer in the dash, modifying the dash, wiring loom, fibre links, coding etc.  There's no larger screen swap into the existing hardware that I have come across so far, though others here might know of an option.

There are a few places on the web that will do upgrades for certain BMWs, but whether the E70 is included I don't know.  Have a search for IDrive upgrades to see what is about out there.
