Also, how can someone remote code my CIC unit?
What do I need to install, and since I'm in Portugal (Europe), will it all work as expected?

I can help you code it.

I am pretty sure that Plug n Play cable will work exactly the same, just message the seller prior to buying it.

It's from the same seller as the camera and the emulator posted on the OP.

This sure seems to save all the slicing, soldering, just wonder if it's worth it or not

Ok, so I mailed the seller on eBay, and here is his reply:

Hi,
Thanks for your inquire.
If you need activate parking rear view function.
You need buy this emulator:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E90-E60-...-/281474834192
The link you sent me is for activate navigation funcion.
If you need Camera, you can order together: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281474833928

If your E91 is CIC host with PDC, it will support.
But the emulator is not has plug and play harness.
It also need make coding.

So, I guess that won't help.

The wiring diagram pdf and n8s's picture posted earlier shows the wires going to 5 & 8 on this plug (21 & 24 on the whole harness numbering system). Until I see more consistent way to wire this up, I dont have the confidence to attack it.

Here is n8s's pic of what i'm talking about:

Hello e90post family ;

Camera module assembly and did very well. But I could not bring a kind of camera image display. I could not even bring me NCS expert on the PDC display upright. Do you have a friend to describe it in detail? Many thanks in advance

Sorry for the delay
My camera works fine I didn't have the line
PDC_DIRECTION
vertikal

1)I updated the version V42 CIC

2)problem with the version V42 I may not see my music the air conditioning on the wheel button and change station buttons does not work

3)the line
PDC_DIRECTION
vertikal
it's ok with the version V42 CIC

4)I solved the problems:
I encode the CIC in expert mode:
load profile: Expertprofil
F1 F3 select your chassis E89
Select CAS to load your wine
F6 to return back
F4 to select a CIC module
Read the cic READ ECU
Open file work save the .trc in .man (as if you was coding an options)
Basic functions F5 "coapiReadSgGetFswPsw" and click OK (for a simple encoding option)
F2 "job" then SG_CODIEREN and click OK.
F3 to perform the encoding This is the reset and did
all problems were gone

5)do the coding
MACRO_PDC
aktiv
MACRO_REARVIEW
aktiv
RVC_CIC
wert_23
MACRO_L6_PARKMENU
aktiv
PDC_DIRECTION
vertikal

the version V42 CIC too modern for my car 2009 lci

FYI, here's a comparison of the OEM 2015 528i NBT camera to the CIC Autofocustech unit in similar conditions. Note the OEM camera has extreme fisheye distortion but the eBay camera is quite straight. Also note the difference in contrast/color/quality.

[Rotary Rasp]

I've said it before, the ebay camera is a pretty damn good quality unit. It's low light performance is actually better than the OEM 2015 NBT (X3) camera.
