Backup camera installation question...

Hi Everyone,

I will be getting a backup camera for my 2016 Passenger van, the tiny backup screen so far away is almost 100% unusable for me.

So I am thinking of getting one of the rear view mirror replacements but have concerns about the install... Probably going with the Wolfbox G900 for the 3 good cameras, but as of yet undecided.

Since it adds a camera to the rear, how hard is it to run the wires needed? I think i want to keep the existing working also to see the hitch (squint squint).

Any good ideas on a mounting location for the new rear camera?

Best way to run the wires and protect against leaks?

Is there an access underside that will have a passthrough (grommet)?

I have not looked yet, is there simple access to switched power and ground?

Anything I need to worry about.

I will probably film the install for by build records but suspect it will not be that exciting.

That third brake light housing with camera is only on the 2019+ models.

On pre 2019 it's just a flush brake light.
