I have an 09 Ram 1500 with the RBZ radio installed and I just got the OEM backup camera from a buddy for $100. Instead of going to the dealer to get the camera activated will the lock pick enable full functionality of the OEM camera? (ie. on when in reverse) I would like to get a lockpick no matter what but it will help me justify the price with the wife if it is saving me from spending money at the dealer as well.

Yeah mine puts the cam on when I put it into reverse or select it from the list if I want to see it while driving. I used aftermarket cam but I don't see why you couldn't use OEM camera as long as it hooks up via yellow video cable.

The cable hookup would be my only question. I had the camera stock so I didnt have to hook it up to mine. But I think in the instructions it will tell you how to hook up the OEM one too. You can find the instructions on their website, I think they have pretty good response too if you email or call them. You should be fine in using that as an excuse......er.....justification for getting a lockpick.
