Have been thinking of installing a small USB Camera on the back window, there is the 12volts plug in power supply in the rear cargo hatch so it would be pretty easy.

Will check the Backvue camera out! the DOD camera is not bad for a couple hundred dollars, the position its in is just set and forget until you need the vision etc, then you just pull the mini SD card out.

Also I travel up to the beach house alot, (there is no road) and its very interesting to watch the vision back when its full tide and you rally for 14klms up the beach at 80kph.

Blackvue comes with an optional power kit that connect directly to your battery with sleep mode so it does not drain your battery whilst parking at stationary.

I connected the DOD to the accessory wire in the top lighting console so it only powers up when the X5 is running or its turned to accessory mode.

For under a couple hundred dollars its A good investment and I can always remove it and install the camera into my next BMW!

Does DOD offers parking mode function?

Blackvue provides:

Parking Mode Recording with Motion Detection
In parking mode, recording will be triggered only in case of a detected motion or impact to save the storage space

One of the Queensland Senators here said he wants to bring in a congestion tax for Brisbane.

If they stopped taking overseas trips and stopped wasting money we would have good roads. It's amazing how they can be in power for so long and then wakeup one day to realise they should been spending money on roads.

You can see why Politician's are the bottom run of the ladder, had my way they would not be allowed to touch the ladder at all.
