Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a back up camera installed in my 2005 325xi. I want it to look as factory as possible, so I would like it to sit in the trunk handle like this one does: http://www.dvdgpsnav.com/bmw-trunk-h...ew-camera.html
However, at only $36.90, I'm concerned about the quality of the camera itself. I would prefer to buy a good quality camera (I'm willing to spend around $100 for it). Do you know if I could just buy a new trunk handle like above but put my own camera in it?
Any suggestions on camera's would also be much appreciated. Ideally, I would like it to have guide lines. Thanks!

Kidding me, right? Not a good idea.
Just get the $12-15 trunk light cameras. I did, can't hardly see the thing at all.

You need a nav system with tv tuner, or some other way to see the video feed.

If I were to give my Touring a first name, I'd probably name it "Alan".

Could you please explain what you meant by not a good idea? I currently have a double din Sony Radio installed, so I have a screen for the camera.

The handle ones fail because they replace the switch. Just do what BMW does and replace the license light on the driver's side.
