My car is 2003 BMW X5.

Did you know that the reverse connection is pulsed? If not, do a search for how to deal with it. Basically you will need to get a relay. I know that is not very helpful but this has been covered many times. Please search for "reverse relay".

Can anyone please let me know how to automatically shift to reverse video when the car is in Reverse gear? Also why it keeps loosing the signal? I have two RCA cables running from HL to camera (one was for backup), both have same issues, so cable is not a problem here. I tried changing camera as well but same result. So thinking if it is something with main HL unit itself or what. And any solution for the slow frame rate please?

My camera is also purchased from HL: BMW series-Bmw Car dvd player,Mercedes-Benz navigation,Suzuki dvd,Audi Navigation System,Subaru car audio

I have mounted the camera on one of the license plate bulb and and more serious problem is odometer dash shows a message to check the license plate light.

When reading in this thread: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...amera-e53.html, post: http://www.xoutpost.com/317974-post5.html the guy is talking about the resistor to the cameras power supply. Do anyone know what is that register and how it will help me to get rid of the dash error message?

Thanks,

I had no time to put the backup camera DIY up on this post. I will eventually do it. So, I can answer some questions.
I think you connected to the wrong input. Hualingan comes with video input and the backup camera input (labeled Back). Connect it to the wire labeled "Back" and it should work.
The error message is probably expected since the new light is LED. I guess you need to cancel that with a resistor.

I like the looks of it so I just wanted to make sure the quality is decent and not a ton of lag when pushing buttons.

Have you seen it in person? On YouTube there does not appear to have any lagging. I'm interested....I'm tired of looking at my old radio. All I have in the business cd. Yuck.

Requested a picture of the iPod interface from Hualingan site and they sent me this.

Although I do not understand Chinese characters. this somehow gives me the feeling that the iPod interface on the Hualingan will suffice my needs of accessing songs through playlists, artists, album choices. Hope this helps the iPod enthusiasts like me.

Oh by the way, I was not able to control myself so I ordered the unit already. Will definitely write a short review of it when I install and use it. Cheers!
