adding reverse camera to 2012 c300 4matic sport trim

hi everyone i have done a lot of research before i made this thread but hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help me put the dots together. i have a audio 20 (no navi / navi button ) system in my 2012 c300 sport trim. i would like to add the reverse camera to the factory screen but i would like to make the installation as close to OEM as possible. i have gathered a few things i know for sure ill need, can someone advise me what else would be needed?

all genuine mercedes parts

A2048206097 - back up camera
A2047400993 - rear trunk lid handle trim with camera cutout
1645430062 - rear camera electronic control unit

what about power harness, lead wires, ground? are the parts above relative in my process to add the camera?

2021 Glb35 AMG (2013 GLK 350)
I used Garmin wireless backup camera that is compatible with Garmin GPS on my GLK 350. There is no cable to install, just change the camera battery when depleted. I got the touch screen GPS for the camera, but then I used the GPS more as it had the live traffic updates and was easier to use than older MB GPS... You can read the Amazon reviews also:
