Pretty sure the "factory" reverse camera was only ever available as a dealer-fitted option - so it's likely to be pretty much like any aftermarket item.

You really only need the video feed from the camera - the headunit will switch to this rear camera video feed when you select reverse (via CANbus commmand). You may want to look into how the camera is powered, although there's probably no reason why it can't be powered continuously.
