Default Reverse camera

I have a 2016 IS200T F-sport it did not come with a reverse. camera and wondering if I can install one? This is a Canadian vehicle. 2017 come standard with one.
i love the car otherwise. I know the 2016 in the United States came with reverse camera so I would think it's possible, but can't see to get an answer.

Mostly depends if you are lucky and have the wiring harness already there. But most do not if I remember correctly.

It has already been discussed couple times, do a search!

I'd confirm it works before drilling any holes!

Thanks again sooooo much. It's exactly what I'm trying to do, I just don't want to over cut the hole for the camera.

Can you add it to a non nav car after checking for the connector? I browsed through the threads, but couldn't find the answer.
