Installing a rearview backup camera in 2013 Edge

[sagedrummer]

Hi

I am looking at purchasing a 2013 Ford Edge Sel which has all the trim options I want besides the backup camera. It has the myford touch screen and sync and I am surprised it didn't have a backup camera. I want to find out if its even possible to buy OEM backup camera and have it work in the car? How will the car know to switch to the screen when in reverse, how to get the backup distance lines? Is it just a software update that will need to be installed by the dealer after I install the camera? How much does the software update cost?

The vehicle is at a good price and would be worth me spending up to $300 to get a backup camera installed but if it is going to be problematic I will just hold out for another Edge that has everything I need.
