Reversing camera retrofit

I have a active tourer 218d for a couple of days from BMW, and it has the reversing camera. I think i want to have it on my X3.
Is it possible?
Ball park price?
Best vendor to install it in the UK? (BMW or Indy)

Thanks in reverse

I also had an interest in this. I found this on ebay:

Key question would be - can it be integrated into the car or does it use a separate screen - not acceptable to most people, I guess.

It uses the same screen! My 2013 (63 plate) X3 xDrive 30d M Sport has it fitted.

There might well be more to it, because mine also has the cameras fitted to the wing mirrors and when reverse is selected the sides of the car and behind it can be seen. When they are in operation, there are selections in iDrive to switch on/off the directional/angle lines where the car can be maneuvered.

If you find carrying out a retrofit too costly or impossible to do for various reasons, there is a very high quality front and rear dash-cam system (LUKAS LK 9750 DUO Pro) that is supposed to be very good for reversing. There is a video on the web of it being used as such. As soon as I locate it, I will post it.

Anyway here are links for the LK 9750 DUO Pro.....

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH THE 7950!!!!!

I had their rear camera installed in my 15 X3. It was about $1,300 US including parts and labor. I see they have an installer in GB.
