come on you must not have searched too much.. this is talked about 100+ times

your options are: (search for them all are discussed in depth on here)
1. turn on the xac sales code and wire in a cam
2. buy a bypass module (there are a few different brands)

well okay to tell you the truth probably I have not put as much time into it because I do not want to buy a complete system... aftermarket camera system all you wanted to install a $20 CCD camera that I have to the existing system so I was hoping somebody would know what wires to tap into the system splice and tab,,, so if there's a link to some people who have done that or they have the knowledge please refer me to those links

As Baum said with these new trucks you have to get the dealer to flash in sales codes other wise the computer will not recognize something is hooked up.

According to your user info you have a 2014 almost a brand new truck. And you want to install a $20.00 pos camera, where would you mount it and run the wires etc. You are going to modify even however minimally a 30,000 to 40,000 dollar or more truck to install a dime store camera which in all likely hood will be crap and will likely not last all that long. To each his own, but for me the OEM kit was a little more than 200.00 and 55.00 for the flash and its all good, though I got lucky and my truck was prewired.

You can use a Lockpick from Coastaletech.com. Plug the camera into it and plug the Lockpick into your radio. Plug and Play. But you will probably spend about $50 - $100 more than doing it right.

I'm with cptwing, we have a saying at work, why is it there's never enough time or money to do something right the first time, but always enough to do it over again?

ok let me then ask the question the following way .. the info center .. the radio unit ..can it be used as a video screen .. that is ready to receive video ..., if so what wires from the system need to tab..to get the logic unit to switch to video ..its all digital .. so there must be some wires get logic signal 0..or 1 or some freq..to make the screen go to video ready .??if there is a way with out buying other units to plug to .. , i have a video TX video RX i can use .. i can install the camera on the back handle the same camera from ebay for $15 is the same camera they use GM and ford ..dodge toyota and bmw..just in different package ..and they charge for it $500 . its not difficult if i know the logic of the sys .. i though some might know in here ... thats all folks
