    Is it as simple as connecting
    The harness in the hatch and adjusting the camera so that it points correctly downward?

    No, it's not as simple as you've described

    You would need to sell the 2005 and buy a 2006

    Any luck?

    JC91006 is too skeptical...

    I just installed (today) the 86110-47210 MFD into my base 05, replacing the original "47080 MFD".
    ITbland's M13 pin out data was perfect, re attached. The big wires came out easy but the violet
    on pin 25 was stubborn. I used a very fine jewellers screw driver. Make sure
    the locking bar is out, then push the screw driver firmly into the hole closest to the
    edge and it will pop. Then you can pull out the violet wire. I'm still sorting out the REV+
    line for pin 21....

    I've ordered some shielded 3 core cable from aliexpress for the camera feed.
    Still figuring out the mount since there is no factory hole in the hatch for the camera.
    It's aluminum so magnets won't help to hold it in place. A picture, with minimal parallax,
    of a hatch showing the camera hole and the two holes near it for mounting the plastic trim
    that holds the backup lights and door lock release would be a great help to make a template.....
