I'm in mid-install. Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD. Audiovox CMOS2 camera. The camera can be powered from any switched 12v line, including the reverse lights. The Pioneer (and every other HU I looked at) has a line that goes to the reverse lamps circuit to automatically switch to rear view when in reverse. The 6MT poses no extra problems compared to the auto trans. As for selecting the rear view when NOT in reverse, well, I can't see myself using that function, so I did not check. I'll update when the install is finished (~ 2 weeks, dang those family holidays!)
