I have an RA2 5.0 Radio , I also have a steering wheel with audio controls and VR & phone button .
( My truck from the factory came with an RA1 3.0 Radio , regular mirror , no wires , and no VR or phone button or radio controls )
I'm still in need of an OEM mirror with microphones , and tailgate camera with harness .
Lol I know this is a simple upgrade for some but audio & electronics are not my strong suite. I'm a mechanical guy all the way , but with the help of some of you guys I'm sure I can pull this off .
So yesterday I'm anxious so I pull my my passenger air vent to see if I have a mirror harnes (truck side ) . This is what I found .

Is this the mirror harness connector ? This one has 7 wires going into it . I've heard the microphone portion only requires 4 wires , so if this is the mirror connector then what are the other 3 wires for ? Auto dimming ? 911 button ? Uconnect assist button ?
I then removed the radio and bezel , I was looking for a way to tell if my truck harness has video wired in ( maybe a pigtail with coax or something ) I didn't find anything looking like video to me , maybe it is just regular wires these days ? Can anyone tell by the next photo if my truck is wired for video ?

I know the RA2 is video capable for backup and tailgate camera from what I've read on here , so if my truck is not wired for it , then any suggestions on what to do to install a tailgate cam in the handle to the RA2 ? Thanks in advance!
