How to install a rear view camera

I would also like to thank you for this post. It's of help when I'm going to install my camera.

I ended up buying the CAM-FD1 from Beat Audio/Connects2:

The special thing about the CAM-FD1 is that it's a boot opener switch and camera in one, replacing the existing boot opener switch.
The wiring for the factory boot switch seems to be a plug from the loom,
but the CAM-FD1 seems to have wires moulded into it, with inline crimps on the ends, which I believe is somewhat amateurish.
On the up side, the wiring for the camera's business end is a matter of disconnecting one tiny 6-pin connector, which should be easy to run through grommets and such.
