Been around this forum long enough to know yall are the experts....I have an ‘17 SLT CC 6’4 bed. I would like to see if it is possible to add the backup camera to my existing head unit. I believe I have uconnect 5.0 RA-2. Attached pics of unit, and tailgate wiring. I had it apart due to the glorious phantom tailgate openings...recall getting serviced today at dealer.
Obviously would need the replacement tailgate latch with Camera....but what else is involved/needed?
Thanks in advance!

Yes Sir you can add the factory back up camera with active gridlines to your existing head unit RA2 5.0 radio [emoji106]

I highly recommend the factory kit , it works perfectly with your truck and it's pretty easy to install as well .

I'm sure Mike will chime in soon with more detailed advice [emoji16]

Hmm. I looked through the M2mods thread list to make sure I wasnt creating a dupe. Thanks for the info! I did see that AllMopar has it backorder with no eta.

Was at the dealer today w/recall work...none in stock and a much steeper price...
Amazon just has aftermarket. Ebay has one, but its missing components id need.

And now I have no clue what the Ac means, as the AB lists this as compatible as well. C- chrome, B- black!?!?

The letter designator on the back end of Mopar part numbers are not important , they signify changes in design , vendor data , date manufactured and info as such . The main P/N is what to be concerned with for compatibility on your vehicle [emoji106]

Definitely refer to Post 10 that RLK linked in the camera thread. I'll send you a message with my contact info if you want to tall by phone on my drive to work shortly.
