    F12 / f13 Retrofit rear camera help

    Hi Guys,

    first-time post, so hopefully you can help a noob.

    I have a 2014 640d coupe but it doesn't have the OEM rear view camera. I would like to retrofit one to the car, I have so far bought the tailgate emblem with the hole for the camera module to poke through and the camera module and tilt system. along with the 3m HSD cable to send the video feed to the rear only video box ( also ordered but waiting for it to arrive).

    from looking at technical details I also need an HSD connector cable that goes from the tilt motor back to the rear fuse box apparently but when speaking to my local dealer they are even having difficulty identifying it. if anyone could assist it would be greatly appreciated.

    on a second point, I noticed that on the current configuration i noticed the tailgate microswitch on the rear of the emblem that sends the signal to activate the bootlid opening mechanism, i am assuming this then goes via the tilt unit HSD signal cable. could anyone confirm this in case i get through the retrofit and missed out any steps? if anyone has any step by step instructions or confirmation of parts listings would be a great help.

    and finally, i know i will need to get it coded to activate the rear camera if anyone has any recommendations for people who could do this in Northern Ireland or Ireland that would also be a big help .

    thanks
