**dogapult** · 09-03-2008, 04:33 PM

were there ever a rearview camera or trailer hitch made for the 2004 E65 745i? if so, what would be the best companies to get these parts from?
thanks.

OEM: no and no. but you can go to U-Haul since they can put a hitch on almost anything

Edit: I just read that you're in Israel, so forget about U-Haul.

Actually Rafa, I think there is an OEM option for a trailer hook. I know E38 had this option in Europe so the E66 might have it too.

I would advise just calling the dealer and asking, pretend you want to get it installed right away so they give you more information.

well, if I can get a *bleep*ing trailer hitch, I might be able to tell you if it can tow a PWC...

In trying to get diagnostics working on my E66 / 2002 745Li (using BMW INPA with a VAG-COM KKL cable) - and it IS finally working (woohoo!) - I noticed a diagnostics section for "Trailer Module". Now, it did say that it couldn't communicate with that module (meaning I don't have it in my car); however, its existence in this set of diagnostic menus leads me to believe that it was offered (or was maybe intended to be offered).
