Changing my rear view mirror camera.

Hi I’m looking to change the rear view mirror camera the current on is very poor quality and was in the van when I brought it. Seen a few threads on Wolfbox versions are they the best around ? And which one would people recommend.

Are all cameras wired the same in that the rear cam cable already in place can be reused or will I need to run another one ?

I also assume the camera at the rear is wired to the reversing light some how to know when I put the van in reverse and show in the mirror.

My head unit does not show video, just the reversing sensor radar thing. I assume my basic head unit cannot do video in my T6.1 Startline. So I guess my current camera is not connected to the head unit.

I don’t know the make of the existing camera, there is no markings on it at all, the camera fits into the lens of the barn door upper break light, I want to change, where is best on the rear to mount the camera.

Finally I would like to remove the current mirror and not piggyback on to it I see that I might have to custom make something to make this work.

I am no mechanic but I am going to attempt this replacement myself unless anyone can recommend someone close to the midlands that would do the job at a reasonable price.

Further to this did the T6.1 ever come with a reversing camera in the rear view mirror or is this likely to be an aftermarket one. Looks like it is mounted via a pad and the camera being not under the barn door handle cover but fixed in the brake light at the top of the barn door suggests it might be aftermarket
 
I've recently installed a Wolfbox G840S to our T6 camper and I think it's brilliant - it's a bit of a game changer, especially when we have the bikes on the tailgate carrier. The display is very clear - you can change the vertical angle of view simply by swiping up and down:

I used the WB bracket and hardware kit and it was straightforward to fit:


I also followed recommendations on here and bought a Steelmate ASP Monitor Mount which did need some gentle filing but fits directly on the OEM windscreen mirror mount:
