If after you hook up the camera, you just get a black screen instead of an image, this is your problem. I'm not sure if it only affects post LCI trucks as I only have experience with a post LCI.
And yes, all the solid browns in BMW's are ground wires. Any of them will do.

Here is the relay guidance that I followed to wire my rear camera

The sporadic voltage coming off the positive light bulb feed still gives the relay some chatter at times.
Another suggestion was to use the clean PDC voltage trigger wire in the harness near the battery but I have forgotten how to define where that wire is located. A search of Xoutpost should reveal that method.
