They both function the same. The harness I purchased included a 6-volt relay and looked more well-constructed compared to the Beatsonic harness and was cheaper.

You don't need the reverse trigger.

The accuracy of the lines depends on your mounting location. I placed mine in the trunk fascia in the OEM location as per this thread:

The lines aren't dead center, but if you use a reference (i.e. a curb or a parking block) you can adjust the lines so you can gauge your distance. I use my backup camera to gauge the distance of things to the rear and not for actual parking alignment.

I set my lines more towards the bottom corner towards the right and I have it so that the red crosshair dead center to the reverse light and when it's aligned with a parking block, my car is 1 foot away.

The camera setup works great at night, as the reverse lights provide sufficient lighting for the camera to pickup. Night visibility may even be improved if you have brighter reverse lights.
