Sure, but you shouldn't.

Because you're going to send 1000 hours trying to figure out the proprietary wiring of the camera connected to COMAND, make it work for AUX input purposes, risk losing the regular functionality of the reverse camera system, and likely mess up several things along the way. Not to mention the 360 camera aren't exactly pointed in the right direction for what you're trying to do.

Plus, there are several dash cams out there you can buy that arent extremely complicated to connect to your front dash, even with the cigarette lighter
