The camera work great without the car running but once started the camera system would flake out and the relay was the only way I was able to correct it.
Hmm... guessing I may run into the same obstacle. So by standard auto relay- do you mean something like: https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-Automot...hvpos=1o1&hvne tw=g&hvrand=15330638642771939179&hvpone=&hvptwo=&h vqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033328 &hvtargid=aud-800640527683la-605056471182&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60439548223&h vpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=309722091285&hvpos=1o1&hvnet w=g&hvrand=15330638642771939179&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvd vcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033328&hvtargid=aud-800640527683la-605056471182 ?
I'm then confused by your directions. You say use signal from tail light- that the grey wire with blue stripe at this junction? Then you say connect to one of the coil terminals- which wire color of relay? Then which wire color of relay to ground? And then you say pull 12v from supply to backup camera... not sure what you mean and where to pull from.

I don't suppose Bimmertech sent you a diagram?

I appreciate you pointing this out to me, as I'm guessing I'll have the same problem. Appreciate any further guidance you'd be willing to share.

Many thanks in advance.
