I received the wire harness from AutoHarnessHouse this week and finally installed my pseudo Rydeen Duo BU camera. Installation was fairly easy thanks to all the info available on the forum. It would have been so much easier and less harness wire stuck behind the HU if I was able to use SVXdc's wire harness.
If anyone needs his wire harness mine's also up for sale. PM me with an offer. SOLD
Here's a few pics from the install. The only panel, besides the dash panels, I removed was the one on the driver's side to install the reverse trigger wire, not needed on a BRZ.
My pseudo Rydeen Duo BU camera. No serial/model # sticker.
SVXdc's wire harness + FR-S reverse trigger wire. My HU, the Bespoke/Pioneer, PT546-00140, puts out 6.11V to the camera. My camera unfortunately needs ~6.5V.
AutoHarnessHouse's wire harness, for any BU camera that needs 12V, $30. + $2. reverse trigger wire (if needed) + $2. shipping. It comes with a butt connector but I used a 18-24 gauge posi-lock connector. Unplug the HU 10 pin connector, plug the wire harness 10 pin and 16 pin connectors into the HU, plug the HU 10 pin connector into the wire harness. Connect the 2 pin connectors from the 10 pin and 16 pin harness. Connect the red power wire from the relay (solder, butt, posi-lock) to the camera's red power wire on the RCA plug. On your camera the red power wire may be separate.
My FR-S requires a reverse trigger wire. Remove the lower panel on the driver's side by removing the plastic fastener. I have one of these:

The AutoHarnessHouse's reverse trigger wire comes with a Scotchlok type connector to splice into the left top pink wire but I prefer to use a Posi-tap connector. Here's why:

Route the reverse trigger wire under the dash (zip tie where needed) to the HU. Remove the 28 pin connector from the HU. With a small screwdriver open the retention latch slightly on the side of the connector where the reverse trigger wire will be inserted, pin #2 on the top side. Make sure that the contact terminal on the end of the reverse trigger wire is orientated correctly before inserting it. The contact terminal has a tiny fin that should face up towards the retention latch side of the connector.
See SVXdc's and AutoHarnessHouse's websites for detailed instructions and pics.

Latch open on reverse trigger wire side
With the camera connected to the HU I held down the Audio button and switched the parking lights on and off 3X to access the diagnostic screen but was unable to access the Camera Setting. Tried it in reverse with the engine on still no go. Anyone know why?? May have found the answer to this in this thread:

I decided to mount the camera in the middle of the trunk fascia to center the grid lines. The only grid lines were from the camera so I did not connect the green wires.
The trunk fascia is held on with 5 - 8mm bolts and 1 plastic fastener. The lights do not have to be removed.
I used the supplied double sided adhesive tape as a template to mark where to drill the hole and a 5/16" drill bit.
Attached the double side adhesive tape, camera, punched a hole in the rubber grommet for the camera wire, and used a short piece of wire to pull the camera wire thru the rubber pass-through.
Following aznatama's lead, I ran the wires the same way. Along the top of the trunk driver's side panel, diagonally under the rear left seat (remove the 10mm seat bolt and lift the seat up just enough to run the wire under it), and then tucked under the center console to the HU. No need to remove any panels.

Zip tied the excess wire to the amp wire and attached the camera ground wire to the one of the amp bolts.
Installed
Camera view at ~8PM. The camera needs to be tilted up a bit. Getting too much of the bumper. I'll work on that this week.
One last tip: while removing the right front dash panel one of the yellow plastic clip pins came off and fell into one of the car's black holes. They are ~$1. each from the dealer. The part number is SU003-02967.
