Yes choose TYPE "A" (there are 2 types - A and B). Type a fits the light receptacle of the license plate and requires only a slight modification to secure the assembly. TYPE B is too think. Camera resolution is great. I'm satisfied. If your worried about NTSC or PAL, just let the seller know what you need. They have both systems.
Got it. And about the camera case chop: did you cover the chopped part with liquid glue or silicone? I am worried that cutting into the case would make the camera prone to water infiltration.

The new license plate light, next to the camera, is it a LED or standard light? I am asking because LEDs are known to trigger light errors on the OBC. Also, did you check if the light looks different from the other license plate light? LED or smaller bulb might make it look different (as in brighter or dimmer).

According to older threads, everybody advices to get the NTSC version. Does that apply to European cars too, or US deliveries only?

Regarding the wiring, did anybody successfully try to connect the camera to the OEM TV module pinouts? I found various DIY on this method and I would like to go that way.
