Nope, unless your car comes with the package it will not work.

To my knowledge, one way to couter this is to buy a Vaistech kit, hook up teh rearview camera (Y/W/R composite) into the vaistech kit, and go to town

no, not the OE type screen, it's like 3.5 inch of additional screen, it small enough not to be distraction. and yes, it comes on when put in reverse.
