Seems like with the TV unit add-on folks are talking about installing, you could install a rear view camera like this one, and see the video in iDrive.

Has anyone seen one of these done yet?

BMW is offering this option aswell in their brochure.. For now it is not available yet (Iceman wants it I believe) and I hope it will be in the future because it's a neat option..

I'd love to install one, but it looks like I'll need to add a video/TV unit to the system to plug this into. Haven't seen one that's "affordable" out there.

You're right. I'm waiting for it...
I've been in Berlin for the last four days and have been busy. No time for checking the forum... Had to work there (football tournament).
I only had Friday evening some time, but decided to go with the Blue Man Group instead of the net...

Am I correct in the assumption that I'd need an input that's video-specific to pipe this in? That is, I can't use the Aux Input that's being talked about here.
