And on the other end of the scale BMW still charge extra for Xenons in an F10 5 Series!
Its progress from the days when you had to buy your own radio for a BMW!

I really can't understand the comments saying its dangerous?? It's such a good feature and until you have one you don't know.

Just out of interest, unless cost is an issue, have you thought about retrofitting one from an F10 or 6 series? Can't actually be that hard surely?
Do e39s show up in scrap yards yet? You could go foraging around for a used one.
Yes, tried one that is fitted to one of our tractor units at work by a driver, the idea is to cover his blind spot, its wired into his notebook (via USB I think) whilst yes, it shows if something is in said blind spot, its picture quality was poor and the image kept freezing.
It may not have been the one your looking at (I'm sure its unlikely!) but it was not the greatest piece of kit, no.
Spending more would give better results I'm sure.
The image kept freezing? Surely it was just a video feed? I fail to see how a cheap analogue camera could freeze under any circumstances, if the story is true then it must have been something wrong with the display device and totally unrelated to the camera.
, if the story is true
I bow to your superior knowledge, I just said what I saw, thought it was crap.It's technically impossible for an analogue camera to 'freeze', so either it's a tall story to support your story or it was nothing to do with the camera. Generally on the internet it would be the former but it was probably something to do with whatever he was displaying the image on, so a £200 camera would have been the same.
Either that it was a cheap USB webcam rather than an analogue CCTV camera
