He is quoting the price of the installation, not the actual equipment.

The video quality exceeded my expectations. I am traveling now and the camera's in my wife's G05 so I will post a clip in a couple of days. Here is the link to the camera. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

Yeah, sorry for not being more clear. You could attempt install yourself and save money but with the rear camera it's a lot of work to get it right. Personally, I'm at an age where managing my anxiety is a high priority so if it's too complicated, I throw money at the problem. I'm sure I could have figured it out, but for $260, I didn't have to even think about it.

Just installed my rear camera, tricky to get through the rubber grommet for the lower cable s and then out through the double skin. I really needed longer fingers to grab the nylon guide/ cable puller I was using. After that it was easy to feed through the rubber tube to the tailgate. Took a bit longer than the F15! Trim is pretty much the same as F15.

Luckily the fuse box is very similar in location and layout to F15 and others had posted the G05 fuse details so was quickly able to identify a battery + fuse which was empty and an empty fuse allocated for usb power. I think F27 and 72 from memory

The fuse paper manual that I found from 2019 x3 forum really help a lot. Without that I would not know where f27 is at. Other post F20 and f53 without picture I would not know which is f20.

I looked at several models of Blackvue including the 4k. Blackvue as been recommended by some of the forum members. But, the price is double to triple what I paid. The A129 has excellent clarity. I'll post a clip as soon as I get back home. There are Youtube clips if you want to check them out. I don't care about fancy features although the A129 has plenty of those too. The $169 price was the key factor for me. I would have paid more but I didn't need to do it.

I suggest to invest in Cellink NEO dedicated battery to have plenty of power to sustain several hours of recording in parking mode without the risk of draining the main battery.

Best way to find the correct wires is to use a low voltage test light and test the fuses for switched and constant. Fuse powering varies from vehicle to vehicle. Posting a picture of the fuse box and fuse numbers still may not give you the correct fuses for your X5.
