2) Wire the red wire from the camera to the wireless transmitter (sender side)
3) Wire the wireless transmitter (sender side) power wire to the reverse lights
From the Cabin
1) Wire the red wire from the wireless transmitter (receiver side) to the fuse box
2) Wire the black wire from the wireless transmitter (receiver side) to any ground
3) Plug in the yellow RCA cable from the wireless transmitter (receiver side) to your iDrive interface input

That all makes sense, thanks. The iDrive interface I have, however, uses a 12V trigger wire that switches the input when it detects that the car is in reverse. Otherwise, it won't switch automatically.
