Thanks for the video.. but why not run it to the fuse box.. If you don't want to modify your supply, you can always buy an adapter to connect it into and have the wires go into the fuse box.

As part of the Vava Kickstarter campaign it came with a nice back-up battery. That battery is an integrated part of that cigarette lighter plug. The battery can keep the camera running for many hours with no power from the vehicle so it was just as easy to run the wiring where I did as opposed to doing a bunch of modifications.
For me it is non intrusive to anyone in the back seat and was a pretty clean way to do it.

I agree.. the Phytonic Blue is beautiful.. and it's hard to show it in photos.

Well I just got a armrest console organizer from Amazon along with a OBDLink LX, CQuartz Ceramic Kit, Chemical Guys clay bar kit w/luber and a foam cannon.

Going to be busy having fun.

Gracias! Most people don't get to turn on our fog lights without having the headlights on, not sure how you could make it work, hence I asked...

How do you find the massive 22" wheels working for you? They are bigger and wider than stock wheels. Any issues with fitment, rubbing or anything like that?

They are perfect, it has a more sporty handling with springs ac schnitzer also, the wheels are very easy to clean too.

I was worried about bimmercode too.. I just coded one thing at a time and checked if it worked. I still have more to code, but everything is working good.

There doesn't seem to be a lot you can do at this point (and you need a very specific OBD if you want new features that were released yesterday per another thread).
