- I believe if you get power from the reverse lights, the HU will not recognize that you have a backup camera UNLESS you put your car in reverse immediately after starting it. If you just start your car like normal, and later put the car in reverse, even though the camera is now powered, the HU will switch to your camera.
In addition, I think this would partially block one of your license plate lights? It says it's mounted on the reversing lights, but that's not right. Which leads me assume that even though this is described as being for the BRZ, it seems to be a more generic backup camera solution. Maybe I'm wrong.
You might find workarounds for these issues, or be willing to live with them for the price.

I was more planning to buy this for the support and then replace with a higher quality camera but am not sure of which one I could use ..
