Couple of wires Scotchlok'ed onto the reversing light cables and where the camera is fixed (which I've already done) is about it.
The rest is bespoke to the interface box I have (no longer available) as I guess most people will connect via the TV tuner.
Cabling is really very simple, just a power lead and coax. The real trick was finding/deciding/testing the location - well pleased with that! 
I hope to tidy it up a bit today and maybe reroute the video cable through the cabin to the RNS-D to be out of the way. But finalising the routing from boot lid into boot is for another time. As is positioning the interface box. It has a lead to a button for "video while moving" that seems to need to be "on" anyway for the reversing camera so I may just remove that and short-circuit it out.
(I do have an OEM button already in place for that function, ready to wire in, but it's probably superfluous now - where the headlight light adjustment is on non-Xenon cars)
