Default Dual back-up cameras

Moltenburn, I have a Clarion VZ09 I've never used. However, I believe Clarion uses their proprietary connectors. However it is set-up to accept a back-up camera.

There is such a mess of wires in the rear of the unit, it scares the pee-pee out of me. I know there is a special connector to get and to switch a few wires and in theory the aftermarket head unit is good to go.

If I'm correct, I'm doubting if there will be a cable that has the Clairon connector and one that is compatible with the camera.

I just took a look and figured if I could get a really good 170 degree camera, I'm guessing that below the right back-up light on the bumper would be a good place to start. Obviously I'd make sure it was working, then tape it in various positions to see if I can get both the three quarter right rear and much of the rear with one camera.

I doubt much if I could do it, but wonder if using an exterior switch, I could then switch back and forth if I mounted another camera on the opposite corner. I gather there are generally three wires on the cameras, so it seems possible.
