I will send you by PM. It runs at the right side of your car fron the trunk, through the hinge behind your rear seat and then underneath your doorsteps into you glove compartment.
Dead simple.

hello I have 2010 e60, trying to install my rear view camera too... how did you guys wire the camera to the interface unit? I located my interface unit behind the glove compartment of passenger side(where the fuses are).. In the modmynav's diy file, they fold down the rear seat. I dont think mine folds down.

I need to know how the camera cable went through from trunk to back seat area.
Is there a gap or space between back seats and trunk area?
Thank you in advance.

Does the car need to be coded to allow the camera to work properly?

Does anyone have a forward facing camera? If so how easy is it to switch to forward facing? Is it a couple of clicks or is it up up down down left ...
