Just thought of an idea, would it work if I wired everything like the following (I've already put everything away and put all 3 cars into the 2.5 garage we have with the FR-S being in the back, so I don't have room to open the doors and trunk to work on it anymore):

-Keep the #2 pin trigger wire connected to the red/blue reverse wire in the driver side footwell.
-Move and connect the red power pigtail from the 16-pin connector the the RCA's red trigger wire.
-Move and connect the camera's power lead to the other end of the RCA's red trigger wire.
-Keep the camera's ground wire onto the ground in the trunk near the reverse lights' main connector.


Right now, for clarification, I left it wired as the following:
-#2 pin trigger connected to the red/blue reverse wire.
-Power lead from the 16-pin connector to the camera's power lead.
-RCA's red trigger wire connected to the same red/blue reverse wire as #2 pin.
-Other side of RCA's red trigger wire connected to nothing (since I keep seeing manuals online saying to leave it unused).
-Camera ground connected to the ground in the trunk.
