Default Wiring help for aftermarket backup camera (stock died)

2014 IS250 with backup camera from factory, no navigation. Stock camera stopped working (condensation inside lens and unable to remove) so I purchased an Eway backup camera on Amazon. I was hoping I could just splice the wires from the Eway camera and connect them to the car's wiring harness but I'm not having any luck.

1) Can anyone help with which wires from the camera go to the 4 wires on the stock Lexus wiring harness for the backup camera? There are 6 wires on the Eway camera and 4 on the stock wiring plug in the trunk.

2) Do I need to access the hidden "service menu" on my car before the new camera will show anything on the dash screen?

3) Anyone know of a plug and play aftermarket camera for under $100?

Here is the Lexus wiring diagram for my car I found searching this website
