It seems that with the GPS ECU and player disconnected but with vehicle power on the ECU got confused but easy to solve by pressing a control button. So everything is working with reverse and the button to switch to video 1. Just installed the cameras and only need to route the wiring to their final location.

For the concealed camera on the top of the license plate, the hole didnt match the top of the plate so I cut a groove in the top of the plate to allow the camera to fit lower than the edge. The second camera fits nicely just under the bottom of the license plate. That might be too low for the view I want when driving - will have to test ... A better location might be on top the trunk brake light although less convert.

This picture shows the modified 1/2" hole with three smaller holes on the side to hold cables while other connectors are inserted.
