The control unit's original mounting location is in the driver footwell on the left. Two CAN wires go to your FEM_BODY in the passenger footwell, three FBAS video wires go on the quadlock to your headunit, one +12V wire goes to the camera's assigned fuse in the rear fuse box and a ground wire which you can tap from anywhere such as the footwell lamp.
If you want the exact pin numbers you can PM your VIN so I can check for you since some of the pin numbers differ between model years.

On the plug that goes into the control unit:

Pin 1 ground
Pin 2 goes to pin 21 on quadlock
Pin 3 goes to pin 24 on quadlock
Pin 4 goes to pin 23 on quadlock
Pin 5 goes to pin 52 on connector A173*8B in the FEM
Pin 6 goes to pin 51 on connector A173*8B in the FEM
Pin 7 goes to fuse F154 in the rear fuse box
