First thing when it arrives is make sure that fits your X5 licence plate light receptacle. Many horror stories about poor fitment. Secondly will need to power that camera (with LEDS) to reverse power only as the LED lights will light up when powered up. Also remember that that camera/licence plate uses a couple of LED lights for the license plate illumination so if you still have an incandescent bulb on the left side plate light it will look odd.
The red wire running along the RCA cable can be used to run a power. I wired mine to one of the power on wires from my Avin to power my camera all the time as my system is also a front/rear dash cam recorder. I just grounded the ground to the rear panel fuse box mount.
