Can someone post pictures of the rear camera

Hi guys, I am doing a back up camera retrofit on my ML this weekend. I got all the parts ready for the install, trying to figure out where to drill the hole. Can someone help me and take a few close-up pictures of the rear camera for me?

Back up camera success, so if anyone have questions let me know.
Basically this is what i did:
-buy fakra RCA cable
-buy rear camera
-enable camera in engineering menu,
-taking apart and putting back the hatch was a nightmare-probably took me 3 hours
-i used the power from rear 12v socket , ran cable through headliner,to fusebox on the side, under glove box to command NTG video out, took less than 20 minutes very straightforward routing cables ones I got done with the hatch nightmares.

Yes, I agree. Have had white for 4 years and love it, but hate the speckled dirty look you get on the rear from just 1 minute of wet road grime. (as in your pic) My diesel also gets black specks on the rear bumper in 50 to 100 km even though it has a particulate filter.
Hoping like hell my new ML will have less exhaust crap on the rear, but not prepared to take the risk with the lovely white. But the wait is what is killing me..........
