pw, i suspect that this particular camera will not fit into the license plate opening... before wasting your weekend, pop the license plate light cover and see if it will or not... if it fits, I want to see the pictures... If it doesn't fit, then... maybe a bumble bee camera?
there are schematics of the connections from the camera to the TV module and the trigger wire in this thread - camera needs power, the video feed from camera goes to TV module, and the trigger wire needs ground to send the video signal to the front of the car. you should not use the reverse light circuitry as the voltage there is NOT steady 12V but rather a pulse modulated wave, which will result in front image flickering. Since you have the factory PDC, you may consider using the Pin 7 from the center plug of the PDC to get a (+) signal to a SMALLER relay (see this very thread for the part number and the specs), which will apply (-) to the trigger wire.
One thing at a time... check the camera fitment first... then post your progress, we will guide you further...
