This hack must be for the iPod generation who continusly have their eyes glued to their cell phones and MP3 players. What is the sense of watching your backside through a distorted image on the Nav screen when you can see the REAL DEAL in true color, with the proper distance perspective, just by glancing into the rearview mirror and the two side mirrors???? Other than the novelty sake this looks like an answer to a question nobody asked. 
If you are backing out using ONLY your mirrors.. oh my.

I have to comment on this one. The rear view is not for sole use in backing up, it is so you can see what is DIRECTLY in front of your rear bumper. Like a child. I am sure you have all heard the horror stories of dad running over son when backing out of driveway.. It is a safety feature not a convenience.

I know this thread is really old but... I could really use some help!
So I’ve completed the backup camera switch it’s works great and I’ve now moved on and attempted to wire up a video input to the factory monitor using Pin 14 and 27 as suggested in the beginning of this thread.
the good news is nothing blew up or burned out... the bad news is... the video is being displayed in black & white.
ive read this thread entirely and I’m still completely clueless on rather or not there’s even a solution for this?
any input is appreciated

Alright I’m still scouting the net trying to find a fix for this monochromatic display issue. Out of sheer desperation I decided to reverse the signal and ground lines for the composite video input (yellow video input)
and I’ll post the interesting result in just a second...
