Anyone fitted rear view camera (chinese one)

Hi,
I seen on ebay X5 reversing camera`s, Has anyone fitted one of them?
They are supplied with rca cables (video in/out) and power plug for the camera.

Inside the X5 (E53) monitor settings is "camera on/off", would i need some type of lead to connect to the existing leads to be able to see the rear view image on the screen?
Camera`s are from China, I had one fitted in a Supra that i had.
Any info greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I just bought one of these also and will be installing in next couple of day. However, I have an aftermarket indash screen that has rca video inputs. The OEM screen will not have such an input unfortunately, input/output connections are typically made via proprietary molex connectors.

This should get you started.

The OEM connector can be easily disassembled to tap into it.
