I keep slacking on this particular project and finally got back to messing around with it today.. Still can't find a 12v ACC/Ignition wire to tap into for the NAVTOOL... where can i find it in trunk? and the reverse light wire aswell..

where in the trunk is the Navtool located? what other things in the close vicinity of the Navtool? there are plenty of wires that carry juice on ignition.
If we know what else is close to Navtool, we can identify couple other modules with the igntion hot wires... And i believe it was mentioned in several posts that the ground pulled from the reverse lights results in screen flickering...

also i'd just like to make sure my relay is set up correctly,
30 - Ignition 12v 87 - Navtool Blue Wire ( i think it's for the camera?) 85 - Ground, I connected the GND from the 12v jack of the Navtool, 2 white ground wires of the navtool to this 86 is reverse wire, there is also a green wire in the navtool harness that connects to the brake light I believe. i bought the unit with no instruction manual lol

Euge, i forgot, do you have factory PDC? I am not familiar with this particular setup with Navtool, but I think slick has a Navtool, so he might be able to chime in...
I used OE TV module and a PDC activiation signal from the PDC module with a small, tiny relay... my setup might not work for you...

the issue of connecting to reverse lights is the flickering... also, sometimes, when you have to maneuvre during parking in a tight space, changing gear from R to D and back to R will mean that camera will be turning on and off with each shift... There must be another solution, maybe with a latching relay that would eliminate the flickering issue (reverse lights are NOT steady 12 V)... I'll have look into the WDS to see if there are any other usable signals that can be picked off for this purpose...

Hi guys.
I have come up with a write-up on the rear camera installation on E53, the file is PDF, about 13Mb... since this is a work in progress, I would like to hear comments about removing some content or adding more content to the file. If you care for the file, shoot me an email at terminatorx5 at midnightstar dot com and i will send you the file. Don't use PM, my box is full. In return, I expect to hear constructive criticism and ideas on improving the document - since I did the work and then wrote it, many things seem obvious to me but might be unknown to you. I am posting this info on other rearview camera threads that I subscribed to. EDIT: reduced the size of PDF to 2Mb Last edited by TerminatorX5; 12-26-2012 at 01:14 AM.
