Wondering what happened to the mirror on this used ram I just bought. It has the backup camera screen built into it. The mirror reflection looks all cloudy like someone got behind the glass and scrapped off mirror material. Can you buy just the mirror and not the whole camera setup? It says Mopar on the back of the mirror.

Thanks

That type mirror was an option in Rams with the RA2 5.0 radio

read this, it should cover the mirror with camera display


Now if you want to do a slight upgrade & i think a big improvement

Brian's Mobile makes good videos


What i don't understand about what Brain does
The camera was already in the tailgate & it runs along the trucks frame, somewhere near the hinges of the drivers side door the camera wire goes up the door post & then over to the rear view mirror.
Where that camera cable reaches just below the windshield height, why can't that cable just go over to the back of the radio ?? maybe just change the connector ends at that point ? & run a power wire from somewhere.

I am not an audio video guy, but it just seems logical

I took a look and unfortunatly there are 9 different possible mirrors for that truck. To find out the correct part number for yours you've got two basic options, either get the part number off the current one, which may involve taking it off, or send @AllMoparParts.com here on the forum your VIN # and Benny will get you the part number for your truck. He can also get you a forum member discount code for free (US) shipping.
