I just heard from the manufacturer again, in reference to those steering lines on the reverse image - they claim that the X5 produces those lines with no problem, as the "DSC" signal is present in the OBD II outlet.

Also, they claim that the reverse cameras that I have so much beef about, are working fine on the Chinese distributed X5s... I did not insult them by asking if those were the KNOCK-OFF cars or the real McCoys... hahahaha

Still, I am not sure if I want to invest half a "G" into something that is not confirmed to be working fine on our cars... I am still debating this part...

Unless somebody wants to try them out and if you are in relative vicinity to DC, I can try to help you out with the install...
