Features

BMW Trunk Handle Replacement Camera: The Crux CBM-02T BMW rear-view camera is specifically designed for select BMW vehicles with an aftermarket in-dash multimedia or navigation receiver installed. Your aftermarket receiver must feature an integrated video monitor and a composite video camera input. The CBM-02T rear-view camera replaces your vehicle's factory trunk handle assembly. With the Crux CBM-02T BMW rear-view camera installed, you'll be able to view what's behind you on your in-dash aftermarket receiver's video monitor when you put your vehicle in reverse.

Note: This rear-view camera is meant as a back-up aid only; never solely rely on the rear-view camera when backing-up. In addition to using the rear-view camera, always look behind you to make sure everything is clear when backing up your vehicle.

Image Sensor & Lens: The Crux CBM-02T BMW rear-view camera features a CCD image sensor that offers 480 lines of resolution (NTSC or PAL compatible). The bright f/1.2 lens has 170° (horizontal) x 90° (vertical) viewing angle. The minimum illumination is 0.4 Lux.

Park Assist Lines: The rear-view camera provides parking assist lines on the screen of your vehicle's in-dash aftermarket monitor. These parking lines are there to assist you when backing up into a parking space. There are two vertical lines which help you judge the left and right edges of the parking space and your vehicle. There are also 3 color-coded horizontal lines that are used to distinguish how close you are getting to the end of the parking spot - Green (Clear), Yellow (Getting Close), Red (Very Close).

Note: The park assist lines are turned on and active by default. If you prefer to turn off the park assist lines, you will need to cut the white wire loop on the the attached power/signal cable of the rear-view camera.

Connections: The rear-view camera features an attached 4' power/signal cable which plugs into the included 20' video cable which also features attached 3' power/ground wires. At the end of the video cable is a male RCA composite video plug, which connects to the composite, rear-view camera input of your aftermarket head unit. The power (red) & ground (black) wires will need to be hardwired. 12V power can be obtained from your vehicle's reverse light circuit or from the reverse gear wire of your aftermarket stereo (if applicable). The ground will need to connected to your vehicle's metal chassis.

Waterproof Housing: The Crux CBM-02T BMW trunk handle replacement camera features an IP67 waterproof housing.

Customer Q&A

8 questions already asked

Q
Cut the white wire and tape off to get rid of the factory parking lines so that I can use stereo parking lines?
zachary  Sep 08, 2022
1 answer
A
This is correct. Cutting the white wire will disable the camera's parking lines so that you may use the parking lines from your radio instead.
zachary  Sep 08, 2022 (Staff)
Q
Does this support PDC (Park Distance Control)?
bmwba  Nov 16, 2021
1 answer
A
It does not. It is a backup camera with the ability to show parking assist lines on the screen of your vehicle's in-dash aftermarket monitor
jason  Nov 20, 2021 (Staff)
Q
does this handle include / work with the trunk 'button' for auto open feature?
kevin  Aug 19, 2021
6 answers
A
Yes, It sure does!
robert  Aug 20, 2021
A
Yes, it does.
septimus  Aug 20, 2021
A
Yes it replaces the trunk button and serves the same function. I've had it in place for about a year. It's worked well but the feel is not equal to OEM quality. Works fine but feels cheaper than the original piece it replaces
william  Aug 19, 2021
A
This handle works the exact same way the factory one works. With the exception there is a camera built into it.
trenton  Aug 19, 2021
A
It works with my fob trunk button as well as the button under dash. Additionally it works when holding hand under the handle you can hear it unlock.
derek  Aug 19, 2021
A
Yes. It works exactly like the OEM handle, it just has the extra connection for the BU camera.
oracio  Aug 19, 2021
Q
Is there any coding involved or just plug and play?
camb44  Jul 09, 2021
1 answer
A
Provided the head unit used has standard video input then yes, it is plug and play. Fits nicely into the trunk/latch mechanism then is wired to your head unit.
oracio  Jul 09, 2021
Q
What additional parts will I need if I want to install this to my factory head unit? A 2014 BMW X1 E84
joshua  May 19, 2021
1 answer
A
This camera is for aftermarket headunits.
thomas  Jun 03, 2021 (Staff)
Q
Does it now come with a module . Many Have seen online have it. So I am concerned if it needs it ?
pablo  Mar 18, 2020
1 answer
A
This unit does not come with a module. It is intended to plug into an aftermarket head unit that has an RCA input for a backup camera. If you intended to use stock screen and stock head unit you will need additional parts. It works great in my BMW 335 with an aftermarket head unit.
oracio  Mar 18, 2020
Q
Does this completely displace the trunk handle functionality or is it a camera and trunk handle in one?
james  Feb 13, 2020
1 answer
A
Camera and trunk handle! The new handle is necessarily about an inch smaller.
edward  Feb 14, 2020
Q
Would this work with the factory installed radio on a 2009 BMW X5 3.0?
rafael  Nov 30, 2019
1 answer
A
No that camera only works with aftermarket touchscreen receivers.
