Bottom line:

If you have no video input device, VSM is the way to go. Much cheaper than a TV module and offers the a/v integration you need.

If you already have the TV module with camera input, just get the camera and a relay. You may need the AV harness for the TV module if you don't already have it. This has the AV RCA inputs including one for backup cam.
I have the TV option when I bought the X5 new does that mean therefore I have all I need there ie is the camera input standard with the TV module do you know.

Thanks mate
