Hey guys I have a E60 with iDrive. I can't remember which forum I saw an after market that works with iDrive. Also it allow you to play video while in motion.
What do you guys recommend? On that forum i saw there was this guy up in the bay area that was selling them and was doing the installation for free. I am down in So. California (Riverside) anybody down here in Orange/Riverside county? And how much does it cost?
Sorry if my descriptions (BMW language) is not correct, I am new to the BMW world, my first BMW ( 2010 528i).
I appreciate you input.

you might be able to get the video in motion feature via coding rather than hardware...
for hardware: http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...oducts_id=2923
IIRC: that site also has a back up camera kit..
if not, here's another site for a back up camera kit: http://www.alekshop.com/multimedia

modmynav and eas use the same supplier for the module. Alekshop uses a different supplier. But all are Korean.
One thing that NO ONE ever mentioned on this forum is that if you have a Manual car then the module cannot detect the Reverse Gear off the CAN BUS and uses a long wire connected between the rear reverse lights. I did it differently and connected it up front at the LCM itself - much easier.

Run long wires from the trunk lid (and/or from the front bumper if you want front cam like I got) into the dash for the rear cam, tear apart the dash for wiring behind the in-dash CD & iDrive screen.
I got mine from Black Friday special price, I've seen Kris ran a group buy here once before.
