Solder if you have the right tools, materials, and skills, or crimp connectors if you don't. Either will save you lots of time in the long run over a temperamental scotchlok.
Ok. So, we are talking about the black connectors that have small pins, which connect from the camera to the the wiring harness (for a lack of better terms) that goes to the back up lights, relay & eventually to the back of the N7. Typically, the black connector is mounted with duck tape or tin tape in the liner of the trunk door.

I'm just verifying. Not trying to be smart. 😉
