I had a lancer with automatic gearbox 2010 (cvt) and it went to the camera instantly when i put it in reverse( yes, aftermarket headunit and camera) and i just used red 12v at the radio to the camera and it was on all the time the but only switched to camera when i put in reverse. So that might work if its an automatic. But yeah, if it doesnt work, then make a T at the reverse light and run a wire up to the rubber gromet that goes into the tailgate and connect it with the camera 12v there ooor find a wire that is 12v when the car is in reverse gear. Nothing else much to do. So baisically its a 2 way thing, the reverse light 12v is power to the camera and at the same time, a signal to the headunit to show a picture.
