Back Up Camera

Ok so Im thinking about back up camera ideas for my 2003 F150. I was wondering if it would be possible to use the camera emblem rear-view mirror/screen from a 2008 I think.

The plan would be to mount the camera emblem run the wiring and mount the new mirror. My mirror already has auto dim so it has power no problem there. The only problem i see is how does the camera/ screen turn on. is it connected to to determine if you are in reverse? is so how could I do this on my 03.

Info input is helpful. or tell me im dumb and it will never work its just and idea.

you'd probably be better buying an aftermarket mirror screen thingy.... i got one of those in my shopping cart they come with the whole kit including the camera and reverse sensor.
