I actually thought about doing this a while back, I took the liberty of troubleshooting a couple days ago when I fired up my truck and the camera failed to turn on. My first instinct was to go to the connector and unplug it/plug it back in, sure enough the camera fired up soon after. I'm gonna go ahead and hack off the harness on both ends and solder the wires together, I'll update here on how it goes, thanks dude.
