Default Reversing Camera

Has any one installed a reversing camera in their XJ40 - I want to install one in my recently acquired 1993 XJ40 Sovereign
I would appreciate any advice as to how to install it and the best place to fix it and also if any one has photos of their installation.
I'm located in Perth Western Australia.

I have one installed in my 92 Sovereign. I am home sick or I would take pics. The way I did it was running the cable under the center console, rear passenger side carpet, through the back seat and on the side to where the trunk wiring is in the rear. From there, I fished it through the trunk lid and took one of the 4 screws out where the license plate lights are to mount the camera. I will try and take pictures later today as I am finally starting to feel a bit better and have to get out of my apartment lol.
