Default Back up Camera for 2011 C6 GS 3lt 6m with stock Radio

Hey all, looking for some advice on a good back up camera. I appreciate any input you can provide. Here are my wants:
1. Uses my Android smartphone for the display
2. Camera mounts to the licence plate frame.
3. Comes on whenever car is in reverse- automatically
4. Camera is wired (not battery powered)
5. Connects to phone wirelessly (phone does not need to be powered by a cable.
6. Can be later used with a new head unit if and when I get one.
Thanks 👍

Pretty sure none of your wants are possible.

1.) Never heard of that option, 2, 3 4 are 95% of them, 5 again don't think this exisits. 6, most good head units will accept a backup camera.

I have a stand alone display with front and rear cameras that cover 2,3,4&6, but I think you are SOL trying to get all of that in one unit. I think the connection lag time alone would make 1 & 5 not feasible.

as the others have stated, 1 and 5 aren't feasible without some serious custom work (if at all)... might as well bite the bullet and buy a head unit and back up camera at the same time.

Thanks everyone for your response.
I was trying to go cheap, guess I'll save up and get a new head unit. Also, fathers day is coming up, 🤔

don't go cheap, you'll regret it later - save up and get what you really want. Doing it right the first time saves money.

How about this one?

License bracket is behind the license plate, camera in front. Connects to Android by wireless. Patch power from backup lights.
