Rear camera

[2011 ram 1500]

Can I buy the factory camera and put it in and just wire it up to the radio. The truck has nav and the satellite radio only thing it doesn't have is camera and the back up sensors I know I can instal a lock pic unit just wondering

Yep you can buy the factory back up camera kit and plug it right in to the back of your radio. I would go with a lockpick though and an aftermarket camera. The lockpick and aftermarket camera cost about the same as the factory backup camera kit and you will have a lot more features with the lockpick.

Here are the instructions for the factory back up camera.

You can get one of these cameras. Comes with the bit to drill out a small hole in the tailgate handle. Then just run your wires to the back of the radio and plug them into the lockpick. I will be ordering that camera and a lockpick shortly for my factory nav.

I personally would go the aftermarket route with the lock pick if the prices are close to the same because the lock pick give you other options
