My 2009 I am using the reverse light wire to activate my Camera. I bought my camera from Ebay. I'm using the Navtool for about 200.00 about 1 year ago with no problems at all. I also get an extra video input with the Navtool but I don't use it.

I cannot say whether or not you have enough current on the Z Reverse light circuit to run a Camera and LCD monitor. I would use a relay to switch 12V to the backup system with the reverse light and a transistor switch to 12V from Accy for the relay. The reverse light circuit may not supply enough current for a relay either.
