Looks good. My 2006 Infiniti M45 Sport had a backup camera. My E60 does not. I really miss that feature. I think that it is really great both in terms of safety and ease of parking.
Kits are in stock and available for any e60 models. Pm me if you have any questions.

I want to shout-out for a BIG thank you to doba. that is my car in the pictures. He has been very-very help full in every aspect of the install including answering all the questions to my satisfaction before the install. he came to my work place (which is only few miles form his place) to do the install. Everything is working perfectly.
Not only the backup camera works perfectly. I can view the backup camera while i'm driving normally (moving forward). I can watch videos from my iPhone (or ipod) and can still listen to the audio part normally, using my newly installed spec.dock (which he helped install as well). I can choose to view the video (or camera image) in the half screen or stretch it to the full screen, with a touch of button, as pictured below. I can choose this while driving. We have one more video input available, which I'm planning to use with yet to be installed, a car dvd player. I figure for another $70-$80 I can make the best use of this new unit by installing a dvd player and watch the dvds (of-course not me, but my passengers). I plan to do a small video of everything in motions soon, and will post to you-tube with a link here.
All in All I'm very happy with the final result. Again, a big thank you to doba, all your help is much appreciated.

I do not have PDC but I do have TVNav2Go installed, will your product integrate with Nav2Go or do I have to remove it and then install your product?

I am not sure what TVNav2go does, but if it has similar functions you might just get the rear view cam.

Guys,
Front cam is also now available for all 5-series. The installation is pretty easy and the camera plug into the video module.
All video modules from now on come with a Plug and Play harness to make you installation process easier.
