Im going to have the boys at NAV TV do a Tuner/DVD/Mirror Image Reverse Camera next week when the parts are in. In the meantime my dilemma is as follows. The camera eye for this option is larger than most we have seen ,about an inch in diameter. I really hate the idea of putting it in the Roundel for asthetic reasons. It is actually designed to fit in the keyholes of most cars and will in this case. I dont have folding rear seats and with the propensity of the trunk attuator to go bad on the e39 do you guys think its a bad idea to use this hole. I dont know if you can remove the camera eye from the outside yet but have my doubts. I look forward to your thoughts guys. Thanks in advance .
