08 G37s coupe backup camera requirements?

G37s coupe (08)
Hey quick question guys, my g has no back up camera. So I wanted to buy one, if I were to buy OEM back up camera, which part numbers would I need? And is it worth it just to buy like a $30 one from eBay and try to make it fit through the spoiler hole?
Thanks guys

It would be cheaper and easier to find a aftermarket camera that mounts to the bumper near the license plate lights. You could tap into the reverse lights for power/ground and just run your video signal wire(s) to the AUX in your console. You will have to manually switch your screen each time, though.

Even if you went the OEM route, you would still have to run a video signal from the decklid to the center console, run power and ground, and still have to switch your screen each time- not taking into account modifying/replacing your spoiler.
