Anyhow, based on your vast knowledge of the iDrive system, do you think it is possible to splice into the idrive harness for an video input? I want to install a rear camera and was wondering what is the cheapest method of doing this beside from buying a Nav-TV kit.

I don't know about
vast, but we are learning as we go... It is possible, and there several different methods - search some of the other theads on this forum. Some of the boxes that splice into the LVDS cable are the cheapest and easiest to install and get going quickly. There are cheapo chinese-type boxes that are similar to Nav2TV and can be had for much less (check ebay.) I'm currently playing with the Dension AVR (although having problems with my box / possible programming issues) - but I like the "seamlessness" of it (assuming I get it working.) This is definitely a topic for another thread tho...
