Nothing major different TBH, I just installed it the other side of the hatch release button as it fit better there for me.
Great and thanks for the offer of pics.

Interesting and always for something that makes it easier.

Did you see the instructions and the supplemental instructions when using your own camera? Looking at the back of the car the ideal location is between the left hand license plate light and the boot release button.

Hopefully your harness will arrive soon.
