Aftermarket Becker Module w/Camera Input

I've got a new GLK250 coming. It has the standard Audio 20 radio but is wired for the Becker Map Pilot. I was looking at possible solutions for a reverse camera and came across a product apparently offered by a Chinese company, BlueBird:

It looks interesting if it's for real. The module plugs into the Becker dock and offers nav as well as video inputs. However, I've been unable to find any distributor much less anyone with any experience.
Does anyone know anything about it?
Thanks.

P.S. You've got to love that "Original Mercedes Flavour".

I cannot imagine that the paste over touch screen would work very well. Besides you would have to tear the dash apart to hide the wiring to it.

I can't find it on eBay (yet). In fact, the only place I've seen it for sale is in Denmark. http://www.bilnavi.dk/shop/mercedes-benz-2012-1499p.html

I'm not sure you have to use the touch screen. I wouldn't want to either. Check out this instruction manual. http://www.bilnavi.dk/images/NaviPil...r%20manual.pdf

It does seem that you would have to remove the head unit to plug into it. That seems a little strange to me and defeats the purpose a little. However, I guess the dock continues to supply power and antenna.

I'm definitely not buying one unless and until I can learn a whole lot more about it.
