My tradesman came with poor resolution on the 5" Uconnect screen and I chalked it up to the poor quality of the screen. It's bad enough I struggle to see the trailer ball and am constantly correcting. I just upgraded to an Linkswell system and with a great big screen it's slightly better but the resolution really hasn't improved. Is my camera just garbage and I need a higher end camera? Open to suggestions, my old truck was significantly better with an aftermarket camera in the tailgate latch surround.

Short answer, yes...I've heard there is a specific part number manufactured after a specific date that has better resolution and is OEM plug and play but I've yet to confirm myself.
