Reversing camera

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In the same way as the two bumper cameras, the rear view camera makes its signals available to the TRSVC control unit via an LVDS data line. The signals are forwarded to the video switch (VSW - installed depending on the variant) and subsequently to the Car Information Computer (CIC) over CVBS lines. The CIC transmits the image data via an LVDS data line to the central information display (CID). The image data are displayed on the CID.
