So it took me a bit longer than i originally anticipated to get this done but its finally done.

A few key takeaway points
1) This system was not designed to run as a REAR camera, it was designed to run as a FRONT camera add-on
2) Since this system was designed as a FRONT camera add-on the wiring is far too short to run to the rear of the vehicle. I ran the camera wires following the stock harness, looped under the rear window on passengers side with stock harness, and started pulling wire thru the placement of the OEM wiring and realized i was going to be about 6-7ft short of the radio harness. I re-ran the wires the shortest possible route, across the tailgate to drivers side, spared not one single inch of wire pulling tight and tying to OEM harness, pulled as tight as i can thru the headliner to A-pillar, with this system wired in a rear camera, you are going to be about 2.5ft short on the wiring so you will need to extend the wire or build yourself a short adaptor / extender for the RCA cable.
3) Since this system was not designed to run on the 360 degree MTM (Multi Terrain Mode) camera system, the wiring was a fair bit different and required some changes to the harness and wiring system they sent.

Direct take-away:
If you have a vehicle with the standard backup camera only, there are TONS of videos people post online and reviews saying this camera is awesome as a front-view camera. They send a nice harness with a nice switch that allows you to switch from front to rear view camera. I finally got everything buttoned up with the vehicle and was able to drive it home last night and use the camera in a few different settings when backing up at a store ect. I can tell you it is a WORLD of difference over the OEM 360 system backup camera. I can only assume the programming in the headunit still could be better if i didnt have the OEM 360 degree camera system but regardless this setup is absolutely the bombDiggity over stock.

First picture is before with OEM backup camera, the night-time quality was horrendous, like virtually unusable.

Second picture is last night with Anytime Backup camera system wired up
