    Auto Electrical Concepts in Galway hardwired my Roadhawk into my Surf. He had a lovely e39 for years himself, and does a lot of work on BMWs in general, so I'd be confident he wouldn't have a problem doing it.

    I think I read before that's it important to wire to something that doesn't have a constant power supply when the car off otherwise you might drain the battery. But I would guess the experts would know that.

    Yeah that's a good point. Someone asked that question on the thread I linked to and it only turns on when the car is started. Makes sense really. Thanks for the tip though

    I think Bmstuff actually owns/runs Germaniks (judging by the contact info on his profile).

    There are gadgets for getting around that issue, allowing you to leave the camera running until the car battery reaches a predetermined voltage and then shutting it off, leaving enough battery charge to restart the car:
