RE: Detailed Rear Camera Installation
Two versions of "offical parts" were presented to me by mitsupartsman but I have seen Australia sells Eclipse Camera while my dealer in NLD claims the camera is produced by Mitsubishi. Here are the two by Mitsupartsman.
This is the eclipse sold in australia
You can read the manufacturer well from the two top images from Mitsupartsman it is a "Clarion" brand name on top.
Look at my previous pictures where I shot the cam position where the space is cut-out near the license plate. Eventhough my dealer told me that my car was prewired the location based on a new cabling diagram for the backdoor/tailgate provided by mitsupartsman showed the F21 connector should be at the red sqaure box, unfortunately not on my car. ( November 2008 )

A yep...... ??? where have you been? You can add it to the 07, 08, and 09 as a OEM accessory to the factory nav. On my 07 you can tell where the camera goes because you can see where the punchout outline is on the liftgate.

i was in the dealership this morning and the service manager told me that for the 2009 model there is actually a factory camera availible, which has precut holes in the bumper(if you have a 2009), you just punch it out, plop the camera in and run a wire into your nav unit.

@Brodyguy
I wish you were right( or your dealer was right )
Nothing like that on my European Outlander . Surprised you stated on the "bumper"? You meant the liftgate I guess.
The only prep work i have noticed so far is that the area with the punchout line is now already removed, no sign of the mysterious connector yet...
My backdoor and internal trims are removed , I have the colorcodes from the drawing from Mitsupartsman but no sign of the connector so they either taped it in black properly or I need to go and see the optician :-)
I will check with my dealer BTW..
few days later...
The word is out, today I drove by my dealer and asked to pinpoint where my camera connector should be , well he was as surprised as I was, No connector. I was obviously the "lucky" one where they decided / or forgot / not to install the wiring harness between A style and RH back or Backdoor tailgate.
So I had to revert back to Rdenis guide and this worked , Now my rearview camera is finally working, sigh.

The 2009 Outlander to be sold in the US will now have the rear view camera as an option.
here's the wiring diagram....can someone verify whether connector D38 exists on an earlier model?
Ifone connector is on the back of the MMCS then the other end may be there too. Located in the
upper right rear corner.
there is now a wiring harness p/n 8512a120 available for $57 and the camera p/n 8781a017 for $475.
in case anyone is interested.

It appears that the links to Mitsupartsman do not work anymore for some reasons. Also, I can't seem to be able to find the wiring harness in Mitsupartsman's website with the above part number. Does anyone know what happened? Can someone provide an updated link to the right parts?
Many thanks.

I emailed charlottemitsu.com (where www.Mitsupartsman.com automatically forwarded me to). No one from charlottemitsu responded. I also private message mitsupartsman via this forum, but no one responded.
Does anyone know how I can search for this wire harness anywhere else? I asked my local dealer's part dept, they have no idea what part I'm talking about.

I just ordered the wire harness. Question, do anyone know what each wire in the harness is for and their according color?
Out of the few wires in the harness, I also wanted to know if it includes a power lead wire from the MMCS. If it does, does it mean I don't have to tap the back up light assembly for power to the camera?
