Retrofitting Night Vision?

Does anyone know how to wire up the night vision camera and night vision controller?

If there are any wiring diagrams or installation instructions someone could point me to, that would be amazing!

I'd imagine trying to retrofit night vision would be intensive and costly given the limited benefits it provides. After hitting a deer and having to replace the camera, i can attest it's not cheap. The camera itself cost thousands to replace and reprogramming the car was a challenge... So much so that a tech from BMW USA in NJ was called upon to do it via the internet. You're not even talking about wiring, washer lines, buttons, etc., that also would be required.

There's a unit for sale in the members classified, which is why I'm wondering.
