There is a PCB you have to install inside the factory radio, that has a cable that comes off of it and goes to a bigger box. The bigger box fits 1 way and 1 way only behind the radio. At least, while still having the fan able to still flow air out. The cable that comes out of the radio isn't long enough to install it anywhere else.

So if I wanted to hook it up your way and use it when it goes in reverse and see it on my command screen I would need the following and a camera, is there any other wires I have to buy to make this work?

You linked the box, not a camera. The camera power you can connect at the reverse light pretty easily, you will also need to use that as a trigger for the reverse function on the box. So, you would need enough wire to run that, and depending on the camera you got you may need to extend power and ground. If you're having somebody install it for you, they should have that stuff on hand.
