This meant that I only ran one wire from rear to front.
Hope that makes sense.

VERY similar in concept to what I did for my recent D2 reversing camera install, except there is no auto-switch capability there so I have to push a button on the RNS-D AFTER engaging reverse (which powers everything up) in order to switch to video (TV) input.
(RNS-D "knows" whether or not a TV input is present but can't auto-switch to it as there was never any logic for a reversing camera)
