In my experience the easiest way to do it is to use the ae64.com harnesses. They provide a 16 pin connector for camera and 6V power as well as making an accessory 12V harness that plugs into an unused plug behind the radio ("Option harness"). With those connectors you just plug the camera video to the 16 pin harness, plug power and ground to the option harness, plug the reverse wire into the big harness in the footwell and the other end to the 28 pin harness on the radio and run your wires (in my opinion running the wires was the hardest part).
I used bullet connectors for everything so I didn't permanently modify any wiring (other than the splice for the reverse wire). I also extended all the wires in the main camera harness to be the same length as the power and ground were much shorter than the video signal. Snaked them up the trough under the panels on the driver's side, through the rear seat and around the trunk lid to the cam. Really wasn't that big a deal. |
Using the option harness means your camera is on all the time when the accessory is on. Probably not a big deal but mentioning that in case it matters to some.

Here are the 3 pieces that plug and play together.
1. 16 pin harness that plugs into the back of the headunit. 2. male to male video cable with power wires on each end 3. female video input cable attached to a camera with power and ground wires. remove headunit unplug factory 16 pin harness plug in new 16 pin harness plug original 16 pin harness to the extension of the new 16 pin harness plug yellow male video input into female input tap red wire to a 6V+ wire on the factory head unit. (i used the ACC/yellow cable) run the wires to the back of the car, under all the carpet and trim plug the other end male video input to the camera output video grimp the 2 red power cords together ground the black wire drill a whole to the back fender where the camera will go. screw in and adjust finished upon starting the car, place in REVERSE, camera should power on once in gear |

The camera actually looks very similar if not externally identical to mine which I got off eBay. |
@a_dee
i can see directly behind me, but with an angle. how the camera is angled coming from a straight install it does show the portion of the bumper. there is a white cord the is the angle/mirror cord that i kept on. (i didnt want to cut it) but i did cut the green cord that had parking lines in it. |
