We're ready when you are. :thumbup:

camera group buy still open?
 

Hi all. Newbie here .. joined today. What do I need to do to get in on the camera group buy? Thanks.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Sorry, this group buy has been over for a long time. There are hundreds of cameras that will work so I am sure you can find a good deal.

Post a thread in the Lounge and say hello to the gang, post a pic of your X5 too. :thumbup:

Send a PM to Drex to see if his is still available.

:xoutpost:

Anyone know what camera x5monkey used on his roundel install and where to get it (or a similiar one)??
That thing is nice and small!!

Thanks!

I am going to try one of the roundel camera instals tonight anyone give any advise on cutting do you cut through the whole thing or just mount inside ir press up against the perspex ?

Thanks in advance

His was installed at Mobile Innovations in New Jersey. Camera was provided by the installer.

The amount you need to cut is in direct relationship to the diameter and depth of the camera itself. Different manufacturers have different physical dimensions, so you are going to have to judge for yourself how much to cut based on the characteristics of the camera you have.

:goodluck: and post pics when you are done.

I'm not a fan of the roundel mount - this requires drilling into the vehicle and breaks the seal on the roundel, only to have the clearcoat flake off after about a year.

We now offer the Misumi cameras on the site for the X5 and other vehicles that do not have the keyhole for our other camera:

I went to fit the camera tonight and will have to cut the tail gate behind the badge I really dont want to do this ! Any other ideas ? I have seen a rear tail light cut out and installed this way on a 3series but will this work on a X5 ? Has anyone tried leaving the camera inside the rear lens so total stealth install ?
