*** UPDATE 2/2/2024 ***
Installation method of installing CVPM under the seat / behind glovebox / wherever it fits and using CAN bus in glovebox CONFIRMED to work. This greatly simplifies the install. If you do this you need to adjust some things:
1. Camera cable from trailcam to CVPM ( shorter )
2. Camera cable jumper from 8.4 connection in passenger kickpanel to CVPM ( shorter )
3. Camera cable jumper from rear camera connection in passenger kickpanel to CVPM ( shorter )
4. The rear camera cable jumper in the tailgate stays the same
5. You need to "rig" the CVPM to stay put wherever you choose to mount it.
6. If you order the harness from Jimmy, he can make a length that is appropriate for your mount point.
Doing it this way saves removing a lot of interior, removing the rear seat, the sub, saves a LOT of time and work, and broken clips.
Credit to @DailyDrivenTJ , @RustyC , and @Alc for attempting this and proving it out.
IMPORTANT: Diesel trucks need a different camera washer hose, and might not have a different pump harness, might just need to reverse the pins OR reverse the hose connections if they reach.
@RustyC has an Australian truck and there are apparently differences there too.

*** UPDATE 8/15/2023
Other than the parts list and connections, much of this can be simplified. No one has tried this idea yet but maybe someone can give it a go. Instead of installing the CVPM behind the rear cab trim as the factory does - a GREATLY simplified method would be to install the CVPM either under the passenger seat or behind the glovebox. You'd make all the same connections using much shorter cables. You'd use a ground on the passenger kick panel. You'd use the CAN bus junction present on the glove box dash rail. If you have factory Aux, run the CVPM power to the ignition on wire. If you have aftermarket or added later OEM aux, you could connect to one of the 15a switches and set it to ignition on. You'd have a far more serviceable installation and the only firewall penetration would be the front camera cable. I'd also recommend a front camera junction at the radiator support. That way you can quickly disconnect the camera and washer and take the grille off when needed. The methods described below WORK and are factory like, but possibly unnecessary.

...should be the start of your reading, to get the general idea. Do not use Jimmy's thread for the Mopar parts list, use mine. His thread is fine for the Fakra cable needs and the harness. ONLY USE MY LIST for Mopar parts unless he updates his thread. There are some missing parts and a "gotcha" if you have a 2021+ Gladiator. As of 6/20/2023, this mod has worked on 2020, 2021, and 2022 Gladiators. 2023 - no one knows.
*** BEGINNING OF PARTS LIST ***
Mopar parts List:
Front Camera parts:
68436466AA Front camera

2020 CVPM: 68329740AE ( confirmed to work on 2020, DOES NOT WORK ON 2021 +)
2021 - 2023 CVPM: 4672861AC ( confirmed to work on 2021 and 2022, no 2023 owner has done the mod and reported here yet )
< obviously only order one of, and the correct year, of the above >
06104378AA (2) TWO CVPM bolts
06506955AA (2) TWO CVPM snap nuts
Washer parts ( see notes below RE: Diesel ):

( other colors like Snazberry exist, post if you know the part and I'll add it )
NOTE regarding Mopar parts. The online diagrams on the Mopar parts sites are often WRONG. For example, the front camera grille section appears wrong on some sites - looks like the non Trailcam grille. The part is right. Another - Hose 2. Looks COMPLETELY wrong on the online docs, like from a completely different vehicle. It is the correct part and fits like a glove. I purchased the parts listed above and they are CORRECT.

CVPM Harness needed:
Either build per Jimmy's thread linked above or PM him and pay him to make you one.
*** END OF PARTS LIST ***
@AllMoparParts.com you should kit the Mopar parts the way you did the Proximity Locks. Would make it less intimidating for people. Make sure you make a year selection in the kit so you ship the correct CVPM as well as a color selection for the correct rear camera. Not sure of the interest this would have. The job looks scarier than it is.
Pics of necessary interior breakdown. I am removing both passenger and driver side sill trim. I am doing the Aux switches install at the same time. Power for CVPM and the Aux switch harness will go passenger side firewall grommet. Front Trailcam video cable goes driver side through MT clutch grommet. ( I have an auto ). The other video cables go passenger side. I didn't want the front cam video cable running parallel with the power wires.
You don't have to remove the front seats or do anything with the center console. The pics show the breakdown needed inside.
This is the factory rear camera cable ( without front trailcam ) to 8.4 head unit connector. You disconnect these from each other. The 8.4 side goes back to the rear cab wall via a new jumper cable that you connect to the CVPM output. The rear camera side gets run to the same place via a new jumper cable, and connects to the rear camera input.
Break the front and rear sill down this far, so you can neatly route the camera and power cables.
Break the rear down this far. The CVPM will go in the currently empty space in the middle.
