'11 Touring M6 No NAV but I have a camera?

chippyflava · 06-30-2012, 01:24 PM

Hello! I have a question that I hope someone can answer. I just bought a '11 Touring M6 and it looks like I have a backup camera. I looked under and found the wiring so it seems that way. However, I do not have a navigation system and so I'm wondering if the camera does exist and what do I have to do to use it without purchasing the NAV.

I do have an iPad mounted and it would be great if I can somehow use that but, I also see that there is a rear-view mirror option. I don't think my mirror that I have has that option. I do not see a viewing area.

Why would this vehicle have a backup camera but no existing way to use it?

I'd appreciate any answers/advice.

Thanks.

The seller ought to know. Also, when you say you see wires "under", I assume you mean "under the rear of the car"? Wires should not be visible unless installed by a gorilla...or something has been ripped out. Pics might help you get a better answer.

I have an '11 with Touring / Sport , no nav. Virtually stock.

Backup camera shines through the rearview mirror. It's "ghosted" behind the glass. This is exactly how it came from the dealer --- If yours isn't installed, I'd figure out how to get it that way.

Yes, I mean the rear of the car. I looked under where the camera is supposed to be and see the wires inside. Nothing shows through the mirror in reverse so I don't think I have the correct mirror....hmmmm, dunno.
