Providing your Pioneer has the option for a rear view camera input and the functionality to automatically switch when reverse is selected, then this is an easy addition. Otherwise the selection of the rear view image would have to be a manual process which I don't think is as effective. My Pioneer is the DEH-P5750DVD which does have this feature.
BTW, some observations on my camera having used it for a couple of weeks now:
1. It does not like direct sunlight
2. When it has rained, drops tend to sit on the lense making it hard to see - is it possible to buy Rain-ex here in Australia? It is a product that makes rain stay in beads on your windscreen and run off quickly. It would help to have some of this on the lens.
3. You cannot judge distance - the lens is a fish eye and so warps the view a bit and looking straight back you cannot judge distance accurately. What it does give though is a clear view of where you can't normally see - useful for poles, walls and small children!!

Re: Where to mount a rear view camera? ** Now with DIY Guide **
Nice one Geoff! So how are you planning to mount this screen? Will you take the lid off completely? I can't see how you could fit a 7" screen in there and still have the lid close.
Do you have a series I or II? Should be fairly easy to remove it, most of the dash either unclips or is held in with a couple of screws (or both!).
