Nwram, so the install at the dealer cost you $275? Did this include the dealer flash?

Did you guys use the existing handle and just drill a hole in it for the camera? If so, is it necessary to remove the handle to install the camera? or can the camera be installed with the handle in place? Thanks

You would have to remove the handle to modify it and install the camera.

Hello, I have a 2014 Ram 1500 SXT ( I belive it is a Canadian trim level possibly equal to a Express trim level in US.) The Vin # is 1C6RR7KTXES136734 can any one confrim this. It has the uconnect 5.0. Just wondering if anyone how much work is involved to get the backup camera up and running.

Thanks

I can no longer find VIN specific diagrams for the 2014 models. They used to have them and when I looked up the Express, it looked like it was compatible with my standard harness. I assume that would be true for your truck as well. However, you're probably better off taking a picture of your chassis connector, under the left front wheel well. That will allow me to tell you for sure which harness you need.

Question for anyone one who has mounted a camera to the handle. Is there another piece, like maybe a grommet, that goes between the camera and the handle? When I look at a stock camera installation it looks like another piece around the camera. it seems like the lens will stick out too far. Am i missing something? I have the 56038978AF camera. What makes the installation water proof? Thanks.

The camera itself is sealed and water proof. If you are trying to modify your original handle, instead of buying the camera ready handle, your camera will protrude about 1/4".

It will work with your truck. Look at CASTIRES' posts in this thread.

Just go to Backup Camera Harness and fill in the truck details, you'll get the right harness.

That said, all 2014 trucks are the same, with the exception of the overall truck length. The only trucks that require a different install are the 2013 Express and Tradesman. The 2014 Express and Tradesman share the same harness as the rest of the trim levels.

The dealer will have to flash the computer then correct? Where is a reasonable place to get the camera? Part number maybe.

Am I reading this right. The 2014 Express does not need the special harness then?
