Default Backup camera installed

Finally got around to putting this in and don't know how I lived without it .. I Highly recommend anyone who's been thinking about it to do it .. Cost my about $40.00 off eBay. I wired it to a extra plug I had for my trailer plug and plugged it in there.

It turns on and off with the lights instead of only when in reverse

I've never priced the sensors so I don't know

Yes sir monitor Camera ( license plate mount ) and wires.. If I was gonna do it agin I might get the tailgate Handel or emblem camera.. The license plate one is a bit bulky and sticks out but I can live with that ... There are tons of options on eBay.. I try not to buy to much stuff from china but when it comes to this kinda stuff u can't beat the prices
