Crazy idea - retrofit the 360 camera system.

So.. this point has really frustrated me about my G87, and honestly one of the few (if any) things that bug me. The fact that the standard 2 series comes with this system and we don't just blows my mind, and I feel defeats the argument that more expensive models get this technology.

I haven't yet seen anyone try this, and I say that in the shadow of the two UK shops that retrofitted AWD onto the G87. It certainly CAN be done, with OEM parts, but the question would be *how*. (yes yes, and how much of course).

So I thought to start this idea and beyond the parts and cost, actually would be a shop/tuner/coder that could retro-code all the correct modules and info back into the car. Much like the AWD, I bet it can be done with the rigth source.

Does anyone know a coder/tuner that could even LOOK at something like that? Even if I sourced all the hardware, it's a pile of wires and cameras without the coding.

Thoughts?

I'd say ask them but don't know how much would get lost in translation.

At least it shows it can be done.
