Can you take some photos of the installation? I want to see where some wires/cables/power cables are routed through. Thinking about installing this myself at some point. Thanks!

Im also doing this without any instructions.

Somewhat looking at the pdf thats on the site but its for a 3 so the dash is totally different.

The main issue i have right now is that the wire you have to plug into the screen doesnt fit. Its straight and the oem one is 90 degrees, the design of an e92 this doesnt matter but on the Z it does.

I have to call them.

If you're talking about the video cable, would something like this work?

http://www.ramelectronics.net/audio-video/adapters/rca-adapters/35-480/prod35480.html

If space is tight RAM could probably give you the dimensions if you call them. There could also be more compact versions available, or could you cut off the existing connector

No its not any over the counter type of cable ive ever seen. Its the oem cable thats connects the screen to the navi.

After some modifications i got it to work.

Everything is wired up but now when i put it in reverse all i get is a solid red screen.

Waiting for a response from alekshop before i can continue.
