This is what I thought that your camera will look like...
Have you tried to fit it into the license plate light opening yet? If it fits nice and snug, please post pictures of how you did it - otherwise, you might be in for some cutting of the light circuit board, that is under the license plate light cover lens... Also, when you have the camera's light connected for the license plate illumination, you might (or might not!!) have to program the Cold Monitoring of the lilght circuit to be turned off. Well, we'll cross that bridge once you are there...

Hackety hack went my weekend.
It's not going to fit, the camera is too deep for the space where the factory license plate light fits. Oh well, at least most of the wiring is done, any thoughts on an alternate? I am thinking something like THIS or THIS. Q: in the PDC i tap #7, on which colour connector? Blue black or white? Can anyone assist with what parts to get to replace the hacked bits? Will it be just 27 as a package or 27-31? Ta Dubs

in my other X5 I have used this camera Reverse Backup CHEAPER Color Camera 170º Night Vision Car Rear View | eBay .
On the PDC module, there are three plugs, pin #7 from the MIDDLE plug, it is black.

So the replacement part to fix up all my cutting is costing around US$180 shipped in primer, then my painter will work his magic.
Ive now ordered a bumblebee cam and theat should be able to be mounted easier. Would I do the same thing over? Yep, i've learned a lot from the replies in this thread - thank you. And even though the initial cam didnt work I have most of the wiring ready to go for the bumblebee so thats a win in my book. Again thanks for the assistance, this is why forums like this are so good. Dubs

check post #59 in this same thread, you will see a picture of camera. It is a little bit rusty, but I've had it for several years...

Dubs,
when you have time, go to the beginning of this thread, and go over the posts - you will see answers to some of your new questions alredy had been answered... One thing that is not answered is about the installation of the camera into the light opening. All the other questions have been answered, just as you read the post one after another, it makes more sense...

keep us posted on your progress... so far all of thepeople who have been asking questions about the camera install had the cameras up and running... some got it done faster, some have taken good, old time to get it accomplished...
you will have it done, and you will like the results...

I have taken that license plate camera and busted it open... opening is very simple, unscrew two screws that "hold" the back to the front, and then took a thin blade and cut the adhesive along the joint lines and then the back came open.
As you can from the pictures, the front part of the assembly, where the camera is at, is rather flat, and should be able to fit where the cover lens was. Next thing will be to figure out how to secure the front to the opening of the license plate light, as the back part, that is too "fat" has the snap-ons that otherwise would have held... I am still working on this... Last edited by TerminatorX5; 10-04-2012 at 10:23 PM.
