Thank you Mike. I see a lot of that same wiring logic and protocols on the web. But surely there is a reverse message in the Ibus, the PDC feature knows when it's on...
One of the problems the X5 has is many have tried to wire the power of the camera to the reverse lights and has caused video quality interference, momentary operation and hot check bulb warnings on the dash. Since I will be going with the DVR recording my cameras will need to be powered to be on with radio or ignition position 1/2 source.
I notice that the AVIN allows you to set the cameras to continue recording even after leaving the vehicle for up to 2 hours so I am try to contact them regarding the wiring of their cameras for that feature to work. One would think the cameras would be wired to HAAT and honestly sounds like a potential battery parasitic drain issue.
There has to be a proper way to wire these cameras, I just am struggling with the different systems, different features and different algorithms.
*EDIT* I see you over on E46F too. Never realized that was you.
