Thats pretty slick! Its almost like semcoinc but his is with the tow hitch assembly vs yours without. That does seem like a good location to put one on the more I think about it. Having it that far down how does it look on the display? Any pictures? I have the tow hitch assembly so it will probably be somewhat like semcoinc.

By the way is that a meth injection pump? What mods do you have on there?

Since the bracket allows the camera to tilt up and down for adjustment I have it set to see what is about 1 foot behind the vehicle and what would be about 3-4 feet above a normal garage door. Have no pictures and have the unit out to add capability to mirror my iPhone right now.

Yes, is meth pump. Also have Dinan throttle body, airbox, MAF, tune and exhaust.Electric cutouts and 150 shot of Nitros.

Thanks for the update. Might need to look into that and see about putting something down there as well.

Nice on the mods. That must be fun to drive with the 150 shot! I was looking around for a supercharger for the kit but worried the transmission may not hold up well as it appears these cars have tranny issues in general with the jerking. I encounter it once in a while myself.

All I have done is change the fluid and filter every 40-50,000 miles and have the Dinan trans software. Have no issues. Changed the temp sensor once, that's all. When the trans goes it goes. I will have it rebuilt to handle more.

If you reference Crowz's installation within this forum I used the same camera from Amazon I believe. Very inexpensive camera and great quality picture.

The relay I just did a search and followed that installation. There is some minor drilling involved all hidden behind trim for license plate light bracket. The relay is a cheap easy solution all tucked into the right side back cover. Sorry for no links not much time for me to find it right know however search is your friend.

Im close to 200k and the trans I don't believe has ever been serviced so Im pretty much screwed.

Question for you all who have the Eonon deck installed on a non nav x5. Do I have to cut the top of the unit or do I cut the middle frame bracket? Or is it both? I was playing with my deck trying to figure out how to get it to sit flush and couldn’t tell exactly what’s causing the problem.

Eonon keeps stating its a bolt on without any modifications but I find that hard to believe unless they are referring to the Navi x5 where there’s no bracket obstructing anything.

I had to cut out the brackets to get my Eonon to fit.You need something to hold up the back of the unit or the bottom of the front plate will keep working it's way out.Should have had screws in the bottom as well as the top.
