I already had that cubby hole. I started to have problems and decided to remove the radio. The crimps provided by Pioneer are total CRAP. The ground wire came loose from the crimp as well as the 12V constant source wire. Threw away all the crimps and used unshielded butt connectors with heat shrink tube over each connection. I have an extension cord plugged into the brown rear view camera RCA slot as well as a wire that I guess will eventually go to the reverse lights on the car all in anticipation of buying a rear view camera as you did. Those wires including the USB cable are tucked behind the cubby hole piece and when needed, I don't have to remove the radio just pull out the cubby hole and route wires.

My car originally had the Porsche radio, Remote trunk mounted CD changer and the amplifier piece in the stack where the radio now goes. The former owner removed the Porsche Radio and installed a 1 din Pioneer radio that worked OK but the only feature was bluetooth. For my fitment, I Moved the A/C unit to the bottom where the amplifier piece was and then tucked the amplifier behind the A/C unit as suggested by Suncoast Porsche.
The 'cubby' hole is between the A/C unit and the radio. All in all, it looks great.

By the way, I was able to get the Porsche logo to show up as a "Background" once the wiring issue was solved.
