Thanks for the iDrive pics. I think someone asked this question but I did not see an answer:
As these example pics are from an LCI car (looks like an E90?), will the product work on an pre-LCI E60? (2004, Pro Navi)

I can be a tester for this if you need one OP.

Hey I am located in SF and would like to purchase one of these, however I don't like the fact that it's taking one of the license plate lights to mount the camera. Is there another solution for this? I remember there was one camera that was mounted in the area of the release trunk that also retained the release trunk function.

There will be two types of modules. One for 2009+ cars and another for 2006+ cars. I would think it will work on 2004+ cars as well, but can't be 100% sure without testing it.
When did e60 LCI came out ? As far as I know they did some changes in 2008

I think in the US this is called MY 2008 or later, but I am not sure.

LCI cars are produced from March 2007 onwards.

That is what I thought ... I am 99% positive that BMW didn't do any changes to iDrive.

Very disappointed that no module for 2004+
Don't be ... I am pretty sure it will work on your car as well ... I just need to test it first.
