Currently I am looking at:

1. Reverse camera https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184139110951

2. Led/xenon headlights, retrofit route https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7495003-7...53.m1438.l2649

3. Passanger side mirror auto dip on reverse. Currently investigating this.

4. The cleanest way to add android auto/carplay . I don't fancy the whole, plugging the MMI into to the AUX port.

Now, I know some of you will have done the above, but for the life of me I can't find some detailed guides or even partial guides. So, if someone can help with more information or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Also, I am open to your best retrofits, mods, tips.

Cheers,
Florin
Hi
I retrofitted a reversing camera in my 08/2017 built x1 2.0d xdrive and am delighted with the results. The package I bought however, is only suitable for 2017 onward F48. It included full fitting instructions including video and pics. The kit used an intelligent android module, camera and wiring which plugs into car harness and modifies the display when reverse gear is selected. I bought via a company who retrofits for many Uk BMW dealers. For info, the link is https://www.in-car-install.co.uk/cat...at=0&q=Bmw+f48

My main comment to you is that I do not think the item in the eBay link you provided will fit your car. Without knowing the VIN and checking your car software (easiest way is to look at Nav map version), my best guess is that your car will have an Entrynav head unit and I suspect the kit being offered is for cars with NBT head units. I would make absolutely sure before buying.
