Topview, Roundvision, Birdseye for E53 (added video)

Hey guys...

How much would be a decent price (granted, a $1 would be good!!!) for a Topview, birdseye, roundvision camera system for the E53?

I have found a Chinese (oh no!!! electronics made in China??!!! no way!!!) company that makes a box, that takes in 4 camera feeds, and "stitches" them together and then spits it out on video output... I was thinking, that video output could be fed into the video input of the reverse camera - the input does not care what you feed into it, an image from reverse camera or a DVD player... lol...

It seems that their price, with the box, 4 cameras, stitching calibration things (you need to calibrate the images using external points of reference in order to align them) runs about $400... not sure about the shipping yet...

Is it a decent price for such a system? or, should i keep on waiting, untill it becomes dirt cheap?
