Definitely interested in getting instant on camera with better resolution. But I'm not sure how it works. Can you help clarify? I have a lot of questions.

My 08 current has the crappy BMW camera. I'm assuming that it's already wired to the car's iDrive system (or is it wired to something else)?

Scenario 1 - Only installing the video unit (to be able to get instant on).
Would it be possible to simply install the video unit and use the exisiting crappy backup camera?Would it be as simple as unplugging where the exisiting camera line goes into the system. Plugging that into the video unit, then plugging another line from the video unit to the system (where previously the camera was plugged into)? I'm just concerned about the pulling the line from the unit to the camera. Sounds complicated.
