Ok so my next question is. It is the same camera that’s in the mirrors. I guy I know. Has a spare camera from the right mirror.
Yes. All the cameras used in the surround view system, including the cargo camera, are the same part number.

Perfect. Thanks.
Couple more questions sorry.
min the attached photo. Where should I be tying these two wires into. Are there other data wires located near by.

second. I’m going to run all the coax cables before I get the module. Are both ends of the cables remake. Is there any connections that require a male end of the plug. I know all the cameras I need a female end. Just not sure if the CVPM needs female plug ends also.

Last thing.
My back up camera wire. Can i just run a small cable from behind the radio down to under the sear rather than run a Whole new cable to the tailgate

You don't have a run a new wire to the new reverse camera, the old wire works, you do however need to add a small extension to the wire in the tailgate to accommodate the different orientation of the new camera plug.

Also inside the passenger front seat footwell, there's a kick panel on the right side where the rear camera wire has a connection before it goes to the radio. You can disconnect it there, and run a new wire back to the CVPM. At the same time, you can also run the output wire from the CVPM to that connection that goes back to the radio.

I'm sure that reads a little confusing, but when you see it you'll understand.

Oh yea, those are the Can Bus wires, Jimmy made me a harness for those. They plug in behind the headlight switch into the Can-Bus blocks where you would also plug in the security Bypass harness for AlfaOBD.

Can you send me a pic of what the connector looks like and where it plugs in. I do have the bypass cable already that’s in slot 5. I’m curious what pic is +and what one is - and which location that connector plugs into. How much was the harness he made.
