I have this done a long time ago you don’t need to solder any wires. The guy in the video is soldering wires for the power to the camera. I tapped this power from the fuse box in engine bay. It’s much easier that way.
i even installed oem button today.

I like the switch. Is that the switch from the Beat-Sonic CS6 Toyota kit? If not, where did you get it?

Yes, it comes with CS6 kit but I contacted Sam from Beatsonic to get it. They sell just the button and harness it’s compatible with CS5 box. It costs $19 plus $6 shipping. Button even lights up and looks much better than the one that came with CS5.
I cancelled my order without incident this morning. I thought that there would be a fuss but nope, no fuss. No spending money on things I can't complete or don't feel comfortable doing.
edit: I wound up purchasing the one on Nigel's site with the video in the rearview mirror. much simpler.

I'm sure that one also involves taking dash apart and doing some wiring work, since our cars has different wiring harness than the Japanese cars it will not be plug and play.
But the bigger problem to that set is that the camera is ment to be installed on the left side corner of bumper (used for parallel parking), so if you try to install it on the right side of the bumper the camera will be pointing up instead of down(not to mention the image displayed will be upside down). And I'm not sure if that camera will actually show how close the front lower part of your bumper to the curb. unless you take apart the camera and enclosure unit and mount just the camera else where.

he told me that the front camera is wireless. as for the rest, we'll see!

Did they show you installation instructions? Camera video feed might be wireless but you still have to do hard wiring for power. Not to mention drilling holes in your bumper to mount camera.

no installation instructions yet. I'm more comfortable with this purchase. hardwiring into the mirror harness isn't difficult. hardwiring through the firewall and the engine bay is. those levels of difficulty are for me, you may have a completely different level of difficulty with regard to things like these. I'm not ready to make the beatsonic jump yet.

But won't you lose rear dimming and Homelink if you replaced it with lcd screen version of rear view mirror?
