Yeah, I just went through this myself. The "Camera Prep" is pointless at best and fraudulent at worst.
If you completely remove the Furion camera mount and pull out the power connector, you'll find that the power connector is not wired into the trailer's electric at all. It's zip-tied to the wire between marker lights, but you need to do the actual wiring.
The challenge will be that they coat the screws and all around the bracket with sealant, making it impossible to remove without destroying the screws, and in my case, the bracket broke too.
Also, keep in mind that since it's wired to the marker lights, the camera will only be powered when at least your running lights are on.
