Adding Aftermarket Reverse Camera to RBZ

[dannyloski]

Looking for some guidance. I recently purchased a 2012 Ram 1500. It has the factory RBZ headunit and I want to add a backup camera.

I purchased an aftermarket tailgate handle backup camera (see picture). I also purchased the plug adapter for the back of the headunit, to allow the yellow RCA connector to plug in (see picture). I know I will need AlfaOBD to unlock the camera feature. However, aside from that do I need anything else?

Appreciate any and all help!

So just following up on this, for any future person who bumps into this. The answer is yes, what I listed is all you need.

- Aftermarket Tailgate Handle Camera
- RBZ Rear Plug Adapter for Video Signal
- AlfaOBD or JScan to unlock the feature

Works perfectly!

Your radio in a 2014, is not likely to have the RBZ radio

It is more likely to have one of these

RA1 3.0" radio, no camera will show on the screen
or
RA2 5.0" radio,, works with OEM tailgate handle back up cam
( tailgate camera will also work with OEM special rear view mirror )

My 08 just died this year after a moose decided to not look both ways before crossing the road. A few months ago, I bought a superbly cared for 2010. I just took the aftermarket Pioneer out of it in favor of a RBZ and was wondering how it was going to go with the aftermarket backup camera. I feel better now that I found this. Thanks.
