Backup camera works great...after too many hours of frustration. When all else fails read the directions. Video inputs are always yellow. I plugged the camera into the cable with yellow end marked video in. Nothing. There was a 2nd yellow video in on the back of the head unit. Nothing. Changed settings a dozen ways. Nothing. Gave up and went to bed. Today I looked at installation manual which said to plug backup camera into "BROWN" plug. Voilą!
Works great!

Picked up a Clarion camera, with distance markers, which seemed to get pretty good reviews.

The really nice thing about the camera is the connector that is attached to the camera is really narrow and I was able to thread through the same grommet that contains the license plate light wiring. There was a second really small hole in the upper left corner of the trunk that lead into the engine bay. I put a grommet in that hole so the wire wouldn't abrade.
That was all for tonight.
Tomorrow I'll route it from there up to the radio.
