I was in the same boat as you; 2008 Ridgeline RTL, no navigation.
But after looking up a guide and seeing the amount of dismantling required to run wires to the rear of the truck, I decided to get a wireless model instead.

I actually went with this wireless kit off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07425TPBT/
, the camera and transmitter splice into the rear backup lights. It probably took me about 2 hours to install (I really took my time to cable manage everything), mount and test everything. There was plenty of space to hide everything in the quarter panels.
There are also several youtube videos showing how to install it. I don't have any complaints with the camera or screen.
I don't tow anything, I mainly got it to help me parallel park on busy streets.
Hope this helps, good luck.
I actually use the same exact camera by Auto Vox as well for my 2013 itouring hatch which should share the same generation as yours.

I chose this one because it was on sale at the time and it was wireless, meaning that I didn't have to run wires from the back to the front if the vehicle.
My only warning to you is finding a proper entry point into the car from the outside for the camera. I had to drill into the car and then reseal the hole to run the wire from the outside into the car and reverse tail lights (this is something that can't be avoided unfortunately) but above the license plate for camera placement has been perfect for me!
I did, though I'm happy to unaffiliate. The Amazon affiliate program has yet to net me a single penny. https://smile.amazon.com/AUTO-VOX-M1W-Wireless-Waterproof-Rearview/dp/B07425TPBT/ is the regular link.
ETA - I've basically resorted to using the affiliate bar as a link shortener...
