FAQ
BMW 1 Series reversing camera: questions people ask.
Answers for 1 Series owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppCan the reversing camera show on the factory iDrive screen of a 1 Series?
On F20 cars with NBT the factory camera is coded into iDrive, guidelines included, and it looks as if it left the factory that way. On CIC and Business radio cars the camera goes through a video interface, so the picture still comes up on the factory screen when you select reverse. On an E87 with the Business radio there is no screen, so the camera shows on a mirror monitor or on the Android screen if we fit one.
How much does reversing camera cost on a BMW 1 Series?
It depends on the generation. E81 / E87 (2004–2013): from €200; F20 / F21 (2011–2019): from €200; F40 (2019–2024): from €200. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which BMW 1 Series years can have reversing camera?
E81 / E87, built 2004–2013 (Business CD radio without a screen, or Professional navigation with CCC iDrive to 2008 and CIC iDrive from 2009): Camera in the boot-lid handle shown on the CarPlay box, the Android screen or a mirror monitor on cars with the Business radio. F20 / F21, built 2011–2019 (Business radio with a 6.5-inch screen, CIC iDrive on early cars, NBT from 2013 and NBT Evo (ID5/ID6) from 2017): Factory-look camera in the tailgate handle coded into iDrive with guidelines on NBT cars, or fed through a video interface on CIC and Business radio cars. F40, built 2019–2024 (iDrive 7 (ID7) with an 8.8 or 10.25-inch touchscreen; CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory): Factory camera retrofit coded into ID7 with guidelines and the parking view.
How long does reversing camera take on a BMW 1 Series?
Two to three hours on the BMW 1 Series E81, F20 and F40. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit reversing camera on a BMW 1 Series?
On every 1 Series we work on — E81, F20 and F40 — the parking sensors keep working and the camera comes up automatically in reverse, with guidelines where the screen supports them.
Do I need to book reversing camera for my BMW 1 Series, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (E81, F20 and F40) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
