I just got an 06 so I'm going to be doing a lot of the same upgrades to mine! Looks awesome! You're an excellent tutor and craftsman.

Man, this puts my little 05 x3 to shame. Lol Nice mods and nice video. Tfs

Easy and simple explained. Greets from Germany

This was extremely helpful! I just finished installing my apple car play and my camera.

Car is looking Sick bro, wish you was in the UK to install this on my X3

Awesome video thanks man! I'm gonna install this on mine now that you showed how easy it is.

Thanks for doing this video.

Great job man!

Awesome mod love it!

the shadow lights pillows and tv is fire

Can’t believe I found a channel dedicated to the same car I have, everything you have done so far looks sick man!!! Did you get custom headlights or are those stock? If so do you happen to have the link my 2005 needs new headlights after I lower it and add the new wheels next week, KEEP UP THE VIDS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great upgrade - we also install the same screens over here in the UK and they are a great addition to the car!

That's a nice enhancement. And I am currently planning to replace my car with something else. What a shame. I should have known about this enhancement years earlier.

Awesome upgrade. Where did you purchase the touch screen?

Guy, it only remains to paint the wheels in a glossy dark gray and the masterpiece is over. )

Great upgrade! Quick question.... when installing the rear camara, you had to wired it to the back lights?

Hey great vid helped me understand the install process a lot. Do you mind linking the radio and working harness used as well as the back up camera so I could get them for my car also.

That’s SICK love it!!! Cant to do my 2008 BMW X3 !!!! How long did it take you ?!?

Thanks for posting this great video. I didn't quite see from your video what you did with the CAN-BUS decoder. Did you install it? Is it only necessary for the steering wheel controls (which my X3 doesn't have) or is it useful or necessary for other functions? Thanks

Awesome

good job

Спасибо! Очень информативно и детально.

Great work man!! where did you get that smoke tail lights? and the vinyl? I really like the color of the car. looks sick

Great video! can you upload model of radio

Great video,I have followed it to fit mine, does yours still allow cd player use.

😱I want those Halo-headlights for my 2009 BMW X3 3.0 X-Drive

Look Excellent.. where did you in get the radio and reverse camera from.. looking to do the Same to my 04.. X3.. Cheers

Dope

Hi, you must paint that wheels in matte black. It would be great

Great video- One question....where did you get your running boards? They don't look OEM but look very nice

Super cooooooooool

nice

About to buy a 2010 X3. Have the radio already, getting camera soon. Thanks for the video. Where can I find the replacement courtesy lights?

Thanks for doing this! You make it look real simple albeit it prob is quite challenging for the inexperienced. Do you think you can share a affiliate link to the parts your installed ? I very much would like to install the rear camera and touch display on my mom's X3.

Great video 5 stars ... my only question is is there any outputs for subwoofers?

Hey bro, do different cameras work with the seicane or did you have to buy a specific one? Also, do the OEM buttons for the radio become obsolete?

With the touch screen, can you still use the wheel dials to shift through option,as you can with the radio.

That's awesome, do you have a link or model name of the touchscreen you used?

I want a 7in apple car play screen where yours is . I found a system on amazon for $88 with a backup camera but I don't know where to get an affordable dash kit for the top portion like yours that doesn't come with a system already . can you help ?? also does your system have Apple CarPlay ?

GREAT JOB MAN! HOW ABOUT INSTALLING ELECTRIK AUTO TAILGATE AND KICK SENSOR ???

What do u think about the angel eye headlights that change colors?!? Thinking about them

Hey, great video! Just out of curiosity, what made you choose to add the stereo to that position? I'm looking at getting something similar but can't seem to find a branded stereo that fits there. Only double din fascia kits that remove the OEM. Also, what year is your x3?

Love it! However, I believe viewers would like a more detailed view of how you installed the backup camera. You ran through that. All I saw was a slight modification. Does the license plate light still work, does the camera come on when your in reverse only and where is it connected to the new unit? I’m asking because these weren’t called out. I have an 06 manual 6 speed and the parking sensors are activated when in reverse as do the automatics.

I have a 2005 E83 X3 but it doesn't have the controls in the center but it has the iDrive screen that folds up and down when the ignition is switched on/off. All the controls are in the head unit... giess they introduced the control switch only in the later models

Do you have connected the camera to the reverse light ?

Nice work.. but it would have been nice if you had shown how to hook up the backup camera to the power source.

Can you let me know the make and model of the touch screen entertainment system along with the all the parts you used/bought? I'm looking to do this to my 2007 X3.

Hi, did you have to get an ariel adapter as I didn't see you putting an ariel lead into the new unit

where did u get the touch screen and back up cam from? and roof rack from?? thanks !! great vid !!

Can you list the store and products you used to install in your car please???

Did you have to install auxiliary to the factory OEM or was it already installed?

Hi what is the part number of the new installed screen? "Great video"

Does the touchscreen harness require connecting the OE radio, or could I convert the radio housing to a little cubby?

I know the head unit switches to reverse automatically. But How does the head unit know when to switch to reverse? Did you connect the camera to the reverse light wire in the hatch? Does the canbus know the car is in reverse and provide an input to the head unit. Does the head unit just switch to reverse when it sees a signal on the rear camera input. Great video. I ordered a Seciene after watching this. Thanks!

You should add the links to the kit you purchased, For us to have an idea, please

Did you install the angel eyes lights or was it already on the car ? I have a 2008 X3 I want those headlights. Where did you get them ? Thanks in advance.

sick mods! can you drop a link to that radio!?

Hey man where did you wire the positive and negative cable to when installing the back up camera? Or does the camera not need that red and black wire to be plugged into something

Man, your car rocks! I´m in love with it. I also own a X3, 2006 mine and I´m also having some upgrades like you´ve done on yours. I´ve got the rear camera and will install it, but I´m in doubt of how you took that back part off, the one with the handle to open the trunk where you placed the camera. Can you explain how you took that off? and also how you placed the camera on the place of the lamp... the wire of the original lamp you just left there or have you done anything with it? also, it would be perfect if you explained how you connected the wires... your video would be much better, in my opinion, if you showed how you did this stuff in details. Anyway mate, great car! What is the next thing you´ll do?

Awesome, where is your garage located and how do I contact you to do the modifications ?

Hello, Is it safe to put a wool blanket over your engine in your battery in cold weather?

I love your BMW i want to buy also an X3 but want more of an street look 20 inch wheels all Black with purple acentcs and maybe carbon hood and roof

Hey what’s the name of the system you used? And is it good for a 2009 x3?

Can you put in the description where you bought all these accessories??

Hey there, great video, I have almost the same model of the thingy, but when i plug the splice to the OEM radio, I can't hear anything from the oem radio, the carplay will play music through the car speakers but I can't control the volume by the steering wheel buttons, nor can I hear music from the CD player. Any ideas what might be the issue?? As far as I checked, i plugged everything correctly

Hello, Awesome video mate and beautiful sharp looking car! I've installed this unit on the BMW x3 e83 and so far so good unit is performing its job well! But my problem is that I don't know why the rear backup camera doesn't work! :( I did the connection of the wires as explained, but there is no response! When I put the car in reverse nothing happens on the screen, the red "Camera +12v" wire coming out of the screen reads no volt or power neither on reverse nor any situation I would appreciate any help as this is a frustrating matter. Thank you for your help in advance!

Cool!! Anyone who did the same, can you please post the link used to purchase this and the backup camera?

Im trying to figure out on the rca cable from the cam to the radio unit has a yellow rca type plug with a small red wire sticking out also on both sides with the rca plug. whats the small red wire for??

What lamps did you put for the angel's eyes to be so bright?

Can I ask, how you wired the led light that's next to the camera, as I had to breakout the globe and its cradle to insert the camera?

Hi from the radio what color do you connect for the backup trigger

Hey were do you tap that red back up camera cable too ?

How does it work on my X3 E83 but with Bordcomputer already on ? Please help thanks man :)

Can you link where you got all the products radio, lights, dash kit, wears & etc?

I have installed the head unit similar to what you have but the radio displays "DISABLED" when connected through the cable supplied. When plugged back in the original it works fine. Any suggestions?

I was wondering where the cable from The back so camera goes into en dash. And also how it goes from the trunk to the inside

can you please, explain how you connected the rear cam electrical? on a cold engine the video disappears after 10secs for me and I think I have a voltage issue.

Also, how do you like it?

Nice. I have the 2007 bmw e83 3.0si. M package. Any ideas about the angle eyes? Just change the yellow to a led bulb. But not too bright. Thankx

Hey I have the exact car, I would like to know where did you purchase the touch radio, I bought one but the frame doesn’t seem to fit on the dash. It’s too big.
