It depends on the generation. E84 (2009–2015): from €200; F48 (2015–2022): from €200; U11 (2022 on): from €200. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.

Which BMW X1 years can have reversing camera?

E84, built 2009–2015 (Business radio with a 6.5-inch screen, or Professional navigation with CIC iDrive): Tailgate-handle camera on the CarPlay box, the Android screen or a mirror monitor.

What stays factory when you fit reversing camera on a BMW X1?

On every X1 we work on — E84, F48 and U11 — the parking sensors keep working and the camera comes up automatically in reverse, with guidelines where the screen supports them.
