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.
I did a bit of googling around to try and figure it out as it went into a very factory looking box in the back and then into the rest of the loom though the back...Turns out the camera runs though the factory tv box...instantly thrown into the too hard basket when I already had an aftermarket camera in my hands and wiring run through the car for it.
