Default back up camera

Hi guys I am trying to install the back up camera finally.. I had the double din aftermarket radio installed a year ago but i was too lazy to get the camera working


I ordered this camera

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o01_s00

So I am going to just replace the license plate light housing with this one.

to power up the camera, i am planning to connect it to the reverse light.
I watched these two youtube videos for it.

In the reverse light, what color of the wire do i want to tap?
also for the camera, do i just connect the video feed to the double din radio?
Since I am powering up using the reverse light, I don't need to give (connect anything) the reverse gear signal on my radio right?



Also, what kind of wire pull do I use? I don't have one and I am planning to buy one from amazon.com, any recommendations? I am not sure how i am going to fish the av/power wires of the camera but I will try to figure it out...

Lastly, is this good wire connector?

or any recommendations?

Thanks a bunch!!
