It requires a camera plus a fiber optic cable from the back tailgate to the existing monitor in the dash.
Personally, I'd rather do the work myself but cant get my hands on the parts!
You CAN get a 'backup camera retrofit kit' from your dealer. This kit is not available in USA but you should be able to order it in Europe. The part number is 66210417969. The installation instructions part number 0418006 found on the latest EBA CD. This kit only works with the Tech/NAV pkg and your car must have PDC.

If you do not have NAV then the part number is 66210417969 and the install instructions 0418006. You must still have PDC though.

Hope that helps!
