I think John actually posted two videos somewhere.
I have never uploaded videos up to the Internet (I know right), but maybe I will give it ago the next few days.

Nicely done, to bad the square is so small. The output of the light is not enough for me ahha, but I still love it. I am going to install it on my TL, since the reverse light area is big its going to be BRIGHT.

I think it actually helps a lot when backing out at night....I am just paranoid about leaving it on by mistake...I always find myself checking the switch haha...I am going to install a buzzer that only goes on when I flick the switch....I might also rig up and LED since the buzzer might not be louder than the music...

Derr, well, if you're concerned about leaving it on, just tap it to a cigarette lighter. I am such a tofu brain, but I believe mine is wired to the passenger side cig. lighter. Even if I somehow forget to turn it off, it still goes off when the car is off.
The reminder will be when you turn the car on, iDrive will complain, lol.
