Well didnt get to button everything up today.

I think I hooked up the camera wrong or something because its not working.

I hooked up the "red wire next to the yellow RCA" to the pink wire saying "BRAKE IN" (I figured thats the trigger wire), grounded it in the back and I tapped into the yellow/white cable to the tailgate (reverse lights). Nothing.

EDIT UPDATE #1: My TAP (crimp in) to the reverse light could not break through the power wire insulation. I practically would have had to cut though the reverse light wire completely to tap into the small power wire. Just a crappy crimp.

I read up that some people just hooked it up to CAM+ up front, grounded the wire in the rear and thats it? What about the "power wire" in the rear? Do I just tape that off and not use it?

EDIT Update #2: So since the above didn't work, I tried this. It worked. The camera worked. Since in update 1 I couldn't break through that power wire with the tap connector, this made sense. Camera finally got power. I think I'm going to leave this as is unless there is a drawback or something to having it like this... I'm afraid ill cut through my reverse light wire if I decide to tap in or crimp anything to it.

So the camera issue is solved. Just need to tape off the extra power wire at the camera room, tuck the cables, install the actual camera on the tailgate (or near the trailer hitch, idk yet).


I also noticed that today my X5 did the following. I clicked unlock, my headlights flashed, my fogs turned on, my puddle lights in the mirrors stopped working (are off) and my 2 front windows rolled down. Once I stuck my key in the ignition and turned the key, and turned off...the windows went back up and everything was fine. Not sure what gives. Is this a iBus app issue or something else? I did have a weird issue where iBus didnt recognize the USB (kept saying no usb supported) until I hit a setting in the iBus to specifically use "...Reseler" or something along those lines. iBus app works now but I still have my lights/windows issue.

Everything worked fine the last 2 days. Not sure what happened

EDIT Update #3: Still not sure what's causing this. But im starting to think its the iBus app. It said in the settings its not yet registered...which is confusing... because everything works... maybe that's it?
