i think pin 17 on the blue tv module connector has to be grounded to auto switch the screen to the reverse cam.
this is easily done by utilizing the reverse light feed, but through a relay of course.

Try Maplins for the replay and you need it because the camera signal is heavily distorted otherwise...

Go in there with the picture of the replay and make sure it matches. Then just make sure the pin numbers are the same. Should cost you less than £5.

Alos, put 'car relay' in google and you'll get shed loads if Maplins is not an option.
