I'll be installing interface kit + back up camera on vlad_b's 2005 545i today as a demo car, and update the result soon.

I'm in if you supply a step by step install guide and it's fairly easy.

Installation was done on vlad_b's 2005 5 series,
Since he doesn't have aux input, we didn't install iphone/ipod video playback,
However reverse cam works just great as pictures below without any problems

Rear View Camera


In reverse gear


Activated rear view while driving - the difference is parking guide lines, it will only appear when you are backing up

Yes it is very easy to use and looks great. I reccomend this mod to everyone. Just parked my car backwards and camera helps a lot (guide lines are helping too). The car is exactly in the middle between lines, I like that.

And I also like the option of turning ON rear view while driving with a click of a button : ) Cool (and affordable) mod.

Also, Kris is a nice guy and did everything professionally. Thank you!
