Is this the same as the camera trigger line?

Related, but different. CAMERA is a reverse trigger. AV adds the illumination and priority behaviour for a full audio-visual setup.

Can I add parking sensors on top?

Yes, those are separate lines that can sit on the same vehicle.

CANM8 alternative

CANNECT AV3 alternative: CAN KONTROL AV

You have fitted a screen and a camera, and now the display needs to flip to the camera feed the moment reverse is selected. That decision lives on the bus.

Priority is the awkward bit

Reverse has to beat whatever the screen is showing, and the picture needs to dim with the headlights. Getting that behaviour from loose wires is where audio-visual retrofits go sour.

Mapping

The CANM8 AV3 corresponds to CAN KONTROL AV, built for audio-visual retrofits with reverse and illumination priority. Name the monitor and the camera when you enquire so the outputs are set accordingly.
