I've recently installed a reverse camera on my Astra J 5 door. I wanted to get the genuine one but it was going to work out 3 times the price and I still had to install it myself. I'm in Australia and the dealers were not promising they could get the VCI code from Opel but I found one who would at least try. I decided to go the interface box route instead. I used the same brand of box as Rusty2009 posted. The brand is FOSP but I bought it elsewhere cheaper. It intercepts the GVIF cable between the stereo and the screen rather than some which need you to pull the screen apart. It was a lot of messing around (first box arrived faulty and second one had a faulty part that needed a mod) but I'm really happy with the result. I found a camera that fitted into the hatch handle and looks like the genuine VX. The GTC will have to use the number plate light but that's OK.
