It depends on how good of a system you want. For some who want economical and are ok with average video quality or intermittent video connection issues, you can easily find a wireless system that fits the bill and can easily be installed by your typical DIYer.

I prefer to get a system which won't present any problems. I got my system from Bimmertech and installed it myself. The system integrates into my iDrive system and also has dynamic parking lines which tracks based on the steering angle sensor. I also added a mirror link box which allows me to screen mirror the output of my smart phone onto the iDrive screen.
Tried bimmertech, but that's a 700 dollar bill :/ Will continue to look for cheaper ways to integrate something with idrive.
