I'm not sure I am getting back signal so there might be problem somewhere else besides the 12/6volt issue you are locked in on. Thanks for the help.

Just trying to check all of the boxes. The camera signal is analog, so one cable carries the picture. Since the camera is only turned on in reverse, it needs to be turned on by either the head unit or hooked to the back-up lights. I believe the OEM head unit has an out that is sent to the camera to turn it on. I don't know how it is connected in the BRZ. So I would first check if your back-up lights work and that the fuse for that circuit is still good. That's easy. My guess is that it is probably all right, but it doesn't hurt to check.
My concern with the 12/6 volt issue is that if it first worked, and then didn't, it would seem that something blew in the circuit potentially due to the voltage difference. It could be the fuse, which you checked, or it could be in the camera circuits which are located in the camera. That is not an amperage issue which is what the fuse checks. If it did first work, and then you didn't touch it, and then it didn't work, chances are the wiring is correct.
Since you are so sure that all of the wiring is correct, and that there isn't a voltage issue or a wire shorting out on the back of the unit, I'm out of ideas. Sorry nothing helped here. I've done a number of installs, and this has never happened to me as I'm pretty careful to check all of the components as I install. That said, I've done no installs on the BRZ so if there is anything special here, I wouldn't know.
Good luck... I'm outta here....
