Is there any reverse wire at the front of an E60, in the head unit harness?
I need to hook up the multimedia interface cable to it so that it will auto switch to camera input on reverse.
Now I know it can be gotten from the tail lights (reverse wire) but is there anything at the front since the camera itself will be powered from the reverse light wire.

See the attached pdf for how the interface should be wired.

I took mine for exactly the same reason from the LCM which is below the steering wheel.

Cool.
Do you remember what plug/pin it was? Would the cable match the color coding of the wire that goes into the reverse light in the tail light?
