Ok went to the dealer to price the system for my truck. They say the radio I have won't work. So i was wondering if i got a lockpic could I adapt it to work.
Otherwise I have to get a new mirror with a 3in video built into it. Atleast that's what there telling me.
I know this might be a question already answered.

Sry was at work anyway it's an RHB radio with all the bells n whistles. Dealer said i couldn't use it for video screen for backup camera system.I'd have to get the mirror video screen one.

The dealers are ********. You can use the factory backup camera with any touchscreen factory radio. I would go with the lockpick though.

Same problem I have. I sat there while my parts guy called Chrysler, and they told him the same thing, and according to what I have seen, the regular back up camera only works with REN and RER radios. Mine's RHR so according to Chrysler I'm SOL.

I'd rather not take the chance, so when I do this it will be lockpick and aftermarket camera.
Out of curiosity, anyone have a factory camera on something other than REN or RER?

I have the factory backup camera with an RBZ (non-nav) unit.

i would go the route of lockpick and aftermarket camera because of all the other feature the lockpick offers
