Red face HOW TO CONNECT eBay BACKUP CAMERA TO NAVI

Hi guys, does any one knows how to conect one of eBay chinc backup cameras to original bmw 16:9 navi display without any expensive video interface modules? I hear somewhere that is posible to conect it directly to display...
Thanks in advance...

I had one of those on my E39 conected to custom double din radio with 6" display and it worked great. once i visited BMW dealer for service and guys overthere were amazed with picture quality and resolution. they said it is lot bether than original X5 backup camera.
it is also 100 times cheaper

thx

You need a Video Source module or factory TV tuner for this option.

It's hidden vertically next to the spare wheel plastic (Silver box underneath your Nav DVD and CD stacker)

Mate open up the right hand side panel and put your hand down into the pocket, that is how deep the left hand side is as well. The TV tuner is (well mine is) mounted vertically deep in that pocket, below all of the Nav an stacked stuff, you'll have pull the nav/stacker mounts out to get to it.
