That said, Google Maps and streaming music service controls work great when connected w/ Android Auto. Same goes for my wife's iPhone on Apple Car Play.
Here's a link to the camera I installed. It looks factory, and it's 'stealthy' enough for me. I agree with others' comments about installing the cam at the same time as the Avant 4, since you'll need to blow apart the interior for both in order to run the wires to the rear of the X5.

How did you hook up the camera?
I got the same one. I ran the wires to the front, so I believe I just need to plug the yellow connector from the camera harness to the headunit and connect the red cable from the camera harness to one of the wires on the harness thats on the headunit (i believe its CAM B+? or something like that? or trigger?)
Not sure what to do with the long red and red/black wires on the camera harness. I dont know much about electronics/wiring. I dont have the wire colors for the E53 either (if someone has that please share). Not sure how I should hook up the camera in terms of activation. Do I tap into the reverse lights? (but which wires) or do I do something else?
