Not sure if it works that easily. Read/Heard somewhere that you (may) need to tap the power off the BCM or off of a relay. If I'm remembering correctly, there may be wire back in the trunk liner for it already. Looking through the OM for '12 Cruze, looks like it was not an option, so you may have to run your lead to the BCM or hope/pray that tapping into the reverse wire will work.
There are some aftermarket backup camera installs/builds in the Gen1 Audio & Electronics threads. Some of them appear to be incomplete.
According to Snazzy (Backup Camera Install), he/she put the camera's power wire to one of the wires for the reverse lights, like what you are wanting to do.
