Rearview Camera/i-VES video Patch?

I am awaiting the arrival of the rear camera kit for my '03 EX-L Navi w/ i-VES. I customized the overhead i-VES housing by spray- painting it with Krylon Camouflage Ultra-Flat #8141 Khaki paint to match my ivory interior. It's makes a HUGE improvement over the stock battleship gray stock color! Anyway, when I had the i-VES overhead console apart, I noticed there is a 4-wire/4-PIN output from the electronics board to the video screen. Can this 4-wire output be patched to send the same video signal to the rear camera input connector which is also a 4-wire/4-PIN input? If so, their wouldn't be a need to cut any video wires; just make your own 4-PIN splitter to attach to the overhead console video output 4-PIN connector.

Also, thanks, again, Ryu for sharing your install of the OEM camera modified to accept other video sources and remain 'on' when the vehicle is not in reverse. By the way, which wire is the reverse 12V trigger wire in 24-PIN connector?

Pics will come if the wife lets me buy a digital camera now! Plus, I'm still trying to do the DVD over Nav mod using the reverse camera kit.
