Alright, an update
Good news / Bad news
Good news - It works and its better than stock
Bad news - It doesnt work with the vehicles that have 360 MTM camera systems
BUT - with a few emails and phone calls i finally got some help with a guy who knows the wiring of these vehicles enough that he helped me figure it out and get it working.
So, YES, you can install the Anytime Camera system on the newer 5th gen and YES its considerably clearer than the OEM camera. HOWEVER when you install it, it will eliminate the 360 degree camera system. This didnt really hurt my feelings too much, because the OEM 360 degree camera system is SO SO SHODDY you cant make heads or tails of anything. Here are a few pictures of what you SHOULD see, vs what you DO see, and at the end is a before and after comparo of the OEM camera and the Anytime camera.

First picture is from my cell phone camera, an iphone 7, nothing fancy.

Second picture is what the OEM backup camera sees in early morning

Third picture is what the OEM backup camera sees at night

Fourth picture is the OEM backup camera in front of my shop earlier

Fifth picture is the OEM backup camera in full screen mode

Sixth picture is the Anytime camera systems new camera


Its clearer, its better, i will have to see what it looks like in the dark and in other situations to tell whether i think its worth what its taken me to get it working plus the amount of work to mount it, and run the wiring. I was hoping for spic and span perfect quality. This is kinda on par with most other backup camera add-on systems for other vehicles. This camera may be the best there is, maybe its the screens quality or maybe i am just being too picky. This isnt as good of a picture as my 2008 4R with an aftermarket double din radio and cheap $100 backup camera but its leaps and bounds better than the OEM setup.
